EASTERNSHIFT
Instructs His Meu in Ifeeting the
Syracuse Attack in Session
of Secret Practice
Yesterday.
TORBET LOOKS LIKE GOD)
FULL IN FIRST SCRDIAG E
Varsity Scores Bl; One Touchdown
in Short Session
With Scrubs.
There was secret practice on Ferry
field last night, not even the wily
ones who usually drift down from in-
ter-class practice being allowed on
the field. Behind closed gates Yost
gave Torbet his first trial at fullback
in a short scrimmage, and then devot-
ed the remainder of the afternoon to
building up a system of defense
against the shifty Syracuse attack.
Lining up his regulars against the
scrubs on the baseball diamond, Ken-
nedy's youngsters walked slowly
through the Methodist evolutions, as
taught them by "King" Cole, while
Yost carefully instructed his men in
the proper method of warding off the
eastern style of offensive tactics.
The particular play which the
coaches worked with was the peculiar
shift formation in which the whole
line moves down the line of scrim-
mage, a man near the end of the line
taking the ball and making the pass
to the backs. In scrimmage either
night the play has failed to bother the
Varsity for the reason that the line-
men called upon to pass the ball sel-
dom handled the leather properly,
fumbles being tho rule.
On Saturday, however, no such
bungling will be in evidence, but
Yost's men have been thoroughly
drilled in stopping the play, and it
sbould not be an extraordinarily good
ground gainer. Michigan had nuc
troubl~e in stopping the Minnesota
shift three years ago, and the elements
of the two attacks are the same.
In the scrimmage practice, which
lasted a bare quarter of an hour, the
Varsity hammered the scrubs for one
touchdown. Torbet's smashes off
tackle featured the mit-up, while a;
pass, Torbet to Lyons, was the fea-
ture of the fray. Roehm interfered
with the lanky flanker, who almost
had the ball in his arms.
The plunges of Torbet, Bastian and
Galt carried the ball steadily down
the field, after an interchange of kicks
and basketball tactics in the center
of the field, and Bushnell went over
for the score. McHale was the play-

A telegram from the New York
manager of Madame Matzenauer, Met-
ropolitan opera star, who will appear
in, the Choral Union series, states that
on account of change in plans it will
be necessary for her to appear in Ann
Arbor, Monday evening, November 3,
instead of on the date originally an-
nounced. While a change of date is
usually regrettable, in this case it
will meet with general approval, since
the Paderewski concert, which was to
have opened the series, was potiponed
to March 2.
SYRACUSE SENDS
BIG SQUAD HERE
Orangemen Find Little Trouble Solv-
ing Wolverine Plays Used
by Fresh.
COACh MAKES SHIFT IN LINE.
(Special to The Michigan Daily.)
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Oct. 30.-Pro.
nounced ready to give the Michigan
Wolverine the battle of its life, the
Syracuse Varsity squad left this city
tonight on its way to Ann Arbor for
Saturday's game.
Coach O'Neill took a big squad with
him, recent shifts in the line-up mak-
ing it impossible to tell right now who
will start in the game. The coach
himself will probably not know until
he looks over his men on Saturday
morning,
In the last praCtices pf the week
the Orangemen have shoWn all kinds
of fight and aggressiveness.. In the
clashes with the freshmen, schooled
in' Wolverine methods, the Varsity
have had little trouble in coming off
first best. The regulars succeeded not
only in dumping all attempts of the
youngsters to score but managed to;
reel off long gains seemingly at will.'
O'Neill has been drilling his men in
the forward pass during the past two
days and it is believed that the basket-
ball play will figure prpminently in
the Orange offense. Half Back Castle
and Quarter Seymour, each of them
stams, are being used in this pluay and
have proved themselves adepts. The
switching of Farber to end in place of
Travis has taken away the possibility
of using this man on the receiving end
of any passes, for although Farber is
a demon at tackling he' is weak on
handling throws.
Another shift which it is believed
will strengthen the Varsity is the
placing of Shufeldt at an end opposite
Farber. Forsyth and Bose have up-
held their reputations as ground gain-
2rs and will probably do a majority of
he work in carrying the ball on the
Michigan field, Saturday.
FACULTY CONCERT PLEASES
MANY VISITING TEACHERS.
Program by School of Music is Well
Ieleived by Large Audience
in Hill Hall.
Enthusiasm marked the first com-
plimentary concert of the school of
music faculty, which was well receiv-
ed by a large audience of visiting
teachers, Thursday night, in Hill au-
ditorium. Mr. Ilowland and Mrs.
George B. Rhead, of the school of mu-
sic, and Miss Florence Hinkle and Mr.
L. L. Renwick, visiting artists, made
up the individual program. The Chor-
al Union under Professor Albert A.
Stanley, ably assisted by Earl Moore.,
sang portions of Gounodi's music.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
'H1ERE IS M -l IC \IGAN'S E11 ?
You say that iichigan witl be hu-
miliated, if she goes back into the,
Conference, in spite of- the fact, that
she has been assured a public invit a-
tion, if she will but show signs of ac-
coptanco?
lBut how's this for humiliation un-
der the present conditions and ,in-
der the conditions that will be inten-
sified if Michigan refuses the advances
of the Conference?
Vanderbilt dropped Michigan from
her schedule in 1912, even after vig-
orous protests from Michigan and dire
threats for the future, Vanderbilt,
took Harvard instead of Michigan.
Vanderbilt turned Michigan down.
in 1913 Michigan found herself un-
able to live up to the threats of 1912
and Vanderbilt was the only alterna-
tive. And Vanderbilt said come down
to Nashville and M-ichtin mwent.
Where is Y:ichigan's :
"OPEN SESAME."
Michigan need but express a will-
ingness to return to the Conference1
and she will be extended a unanlimols I
invitation. -
We base this prediction upon a let-
ter that was received by a Michigant
official from an official of the highest

DIRECTORY 'BREAKS
1. If Michigan goes back into the
Conference would it bo practicable for
Michigan to play Wisconsht, Minmeso-
ta anid Chicago every year--or must
she play, or be expected to play, Pur-
due, Indiana, Northwestern or Iowa-
to keep them in good humor?
Is there any Conference rule which
says that if Michigan plays Wisconsin,
Minnseota. and Chicago in one year---
the next year she cannot play them
but must play some other school in
the Conference? A. Buckner, '14.
Pro: There is no known reason why
Michigan could not play Chicago, Wis-
consin and Minnesota every year1
should those schools be willing, as it is
to be presumed they will, to scheduleJ
games with the Wolverines. More-
over, there is nothing in the Confer-
ellee code \which would prohibit Mich-4
igan fom t playing none save these mni-
V('rsities. T appin.
Anti: If we return to the Confer-
ence it is possible that games <ould
b arranged wkh Wisconsin, Minne-
sota and Chicago each ye-r. If tliey
were to form the basis for deciding
the Conference championship, howev-
er, they would have to be played at
the end of the football season and we
should have to give up our annual
gamtues with Cornell and Pennsylvania
ec(1 though such intersecll onal con:.
tests were not (xpressly forbidden as
they have been before by that organ-
ization. In other words we should
have to confine our athletic amnbitjclts
to C'oni'erence championships. Myers.
