,u Fielding H. Yost, with his won-

rience as head coach of Michigan
ity elevens mould a center sec-
for his forward wall that will ef-
.ally plug the gap left by the
uation of three veterans last
at is the query that is being made,
housands of Michigan alumni the
try over, and a consideration
h has drawn hundreds )of under-
uates to Ferry field where the
idates for the 1922 Varsity, 50
g, have been drilling since Sept.
hen they returned upon the spe-.
invitation o; Yost.
Plenty of Backs
Backfield material is plentiful on
Ferry field this fall, in fact, the close
students of the local situation main-
tain that for sheer brilliancy the 10
men who constitute the first string
backs have not been excelled in re-
cent years. But with a weak line the
best back ip the game is powerless,
the Wolverine coaching staff figures,
and to remedy this situation it has
been combing the ranks of candidates
carefully. . To date nothing more can
be said than that the material is fair.
When Ernie Vick, all-American
center last year, Duke Dunne, cap-
tain and guard on the 1921 Varsity,
and Gob Wilson, a guard of three
years' Varsity experience, graduated
last June, Yost was given a new
worry which had not been his for two
years. The center of the line had
been practically impregnable for two
seasons. In addition to the center
trio, Eddie Johns, for two years a
fighter at a tackle or guard position,
was unavailable for competition on ac-
count of scholastic difficulties. This
left but three gveterans on the forward
wall, Muirhead at tackle, and Captain
Goebel and Kirk at the ends.
-May Use 'Johns
There is a possibility that Johns
can be used before the season opens..
The only barriers now are a couple
of examinations that must be passedl
before the veteran can step onto Ferry
field. In the meantime the coaches
are proceeding as though he were
through for good until such a time
as there is no question as to his'
eligibility.
Several new men are making strong
bids for the coveted Varsity lineE
berths; Van der Voort, Slaughter and
Steele being mertioned most prom-
inently. Center has been the biggest
problem as the development of the*
new game and the direct pass to the
backfield men calls for a pivot man
who can pass accurately. This was
a strong feature of Vick's play.
Slaughter has been used in the tenta-j
tive lineup and seems to have some-
thing on the other candidates at
present. Blot, Blahnick, and Allen
are also going strong for this job.
Fight for Guard
Theguard berths are also giving
rise to a stiff, battle which involves
Van Orden, for two years on the Var-
sity as substitute lineman, Steele, an
end on Mather's all-fresh last year,
Swan, Varsity substitute in 1921, and
Rosatti. The first two mentioned
seem to be the choice at present but
nothing can be told until they are all
seen under fire of a stiff scrimmage.
Other men, who are trying for the
guard positions are Martin, Novy, Py-
ott, Richtor, and Spencer.
There is little dispute about one
of the tackle positions as Stan Muir-
head, a veteran of last year's Varsity,
is back bigger and stronger apparent-
ly than he was last season when he
stood out among the linemen of the
Conference. He is exincted to de-
velop a great deal this season and
improve even on his 1921 game. An-
other prospect who looks good is
Van der Voort who came up from
the 1921 yearling team. He had a
year of varsity experience, as a mem-
her.of an Indiana college team, before
he came to the University, and plays
a strong heady game. Heath and
lWhite are making a determined bid
for the job and both will be heard
from as the season progresses. Cham-
berlain, Tracy and Garfield are other
leading contenders.
Veteran Ends Return
At the ends, Captain Goebel and
Bernie Kirk have first call for regu-
lar duty and both are working hard
to show that they merit it. There
will be plenty of work for several
good wing men this season, according
to indications, so it is probable that
the other candidates will be given
plenty of opportunity. Neisch and
Curran, both M men in 1921, top the
flight next to the regulars, Kirk and
Goebel, with several others pressing
them closely.
It is when'Yost looks at the back-
field array that the famous smile ex-
pands as of yore. Here Cappon, Kip-
ke, Uteritz, Roby, Steger, Keefer,
Knode, Gunther, Dunleavy, and Heir-
holzer form a group that will keep
opposing teams on the run all sea-
son if they have enough defense in
front of them to get started. Steger
and Keefer are flashy shifty backs in
their first year of Varsity competition.
Both men can pass and run and have
shown enough in the short period of
I practice to convince the spectators
that they have arrived to stay.
Veteran Backfield
Kipke needs no introduction to
Michigan football fans. His work last
season until he was crippled .was one
of the sensations of the Wolverine
performance. Cappon and Roby are
the probable choices when the smash-
ing style of play is to be used and
they demonstrated conclusively last
year that they were the equals of any
backs in the west. at this style of
game. Uteritz seems to have the first
call on the quarterback job as Ted
Bank has been lost to the squad for
the remainder of the season due to
a broken ankle sustained the third
day of practice. Knode will also be
used at the helm, it is thought, and
his experience of last year should,
stand him in good stead now. Gunther
will be Roby's understudy at fullback
while Dunleavy is showing some good
kicking.
No Overconfidence Here
A summary of the whole situation
shows that there isno overconfidence
in the Wolverine camp. The coaching
staff realizes that the line is woefully
weak at present with chances for
great improvement in the near future.
No predictions are being made and
the attitude is rather one of deter-
nination.
Yost is being assisted by Tad Wei-
man, Mather, Little, Fisher, Archie
Hahn, and Sturzenegger. Ernie Vick
is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and
Del Pratt of the Boston Red Sox will
come to Yost's assistance as soon as
the American league season closes.
In addition to the leading candi-
dates, men invited back early and
now out on the squad are: Avery,
Blanke, Brenner, Carter, Elliott, Fos-
ter, "Keatley, Kreis, Marrion, Murray,
Oliver, Savage, Spencer, Winkler, and
Galloway.

SOUTHERN BOWL EMBODIES
ALL MODERN IMPROVEMENTS
(By Associated Press.)
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 24.-Formal
opening on Oct. 14 of "Dudley Stadi-
um," Vanderbilt University's new ath-
letic plant now in course of construc-
tion, is planned as the biggest event
in Southern athletic history. It will
be featured by a gridiron contest be-
tween Vanderbilt and the University1
of Michigan elevens, and the govern-
ors of Michigan and Tennessee, hun-
dreds of alumni of the two institu-
tions, and othe.rs to the number of
25,000, the seating capacity of the new
stadium, are expected to attend.
Is "U" Shaped
"Dudley Stadium," named in honor
of Dr. William L. Dudley, father of
Vanderbilt's athletic system and long
president of the Southern Intercol-
legiate Athletic association, is con-
structed of steel and concrete. It is
"U" shaped and was planned after a
thorough inspection of modern ath-
letic stadiums and bowls in the east'
and middle west by Coach McGugin,
of Vanderbilt, and local architects and
engineers. The sides and closed end
will be devoted to seats and in the
mouth of the "U'' will be located a
field house which will provide every
modern convenience and accommoda-
tion for visiting and home athletes.
There will be two rows of boxes on
the two long sides of the field and in-
dividual seats will tower high above
in twenty-five 'tiers. The closed end
of the letter will contain individual
seats 'only, and these are expected to
be used mainly by home "rooters."
Construction Modern
The athletic field which is planned
as one of the finest features, of the
stadium has already been completed.
It is built up on four feet of rock,
cinders, and tile, the surface being
covered with a thick layer of blue
grass. The drainage system will per-
mit play under all weather conditions.
The football unit was built' along the
latest lines of gridiron construction.
Accommodations for track and field
meets have been provided for, quar-
ter mile and 220 yard straightaway
tracks being among the features of

FARRELL, BOWEN, PREPARED TO
HELP BUILD HARRIERS'
TEAM
Coach Steve Farrell and Captain
Jack Bowen, '24E, are planning for a
:big season in cross country running
this year and are already beginning to
work their men in preparation for
the meet which will come later in the
season.
SWhle Farrell (is not giving out
much in the way of instructions to the
men who are out thus far, he is let-
ting them work the kinks out of their
muscles. They will not start strenu-
ous training until after the beginning

arranged for the 1922 season. This is
the annual triangular meet between
Michigan, Ohio State, and Illinois, and
will be held either here or at Col-
umbus. Other meets' are peiicdng,
however, and -the Wolverine harriers
will probably run against several oth-
cr teams. These include the Confer-
ence cros scountry meet and possibly
dual meets with Purdue and M. A. C.
Half a dozen man have been out
on Ferry field for the last few days
rounding into form under Bowen's
direction, and with the many more
fhat are expected to report to Coach
Farrell tomorrow afternoon 'Wolver-

A movement sponsored by a largo
number of students is on foot to make
soccer a minor varsity sport this fall,
following -several successful season
with an informal rating.
An informal practice was called
last Monday and another was held
Saturday. More than twenty-five
answered the first unofficial call and
a hard practice was held. The sec-
ond session produced even better re-
sults,.
Veterans on Hand
Rorick, captain elect of the 1923
Varsity tennis team, and Sanchez, an-
other tennis veteran, are to form the
nucleus of this year's team. In ad-
dition to these two veterans, there are
three other players of exceptional
ability who are in the University~ and
have signified that they will play:
Vandermulen, Daucis, and Levison.
All of these men have played on the
first rate league teams ip their native
countries, and are doing th'eir blest
to interest more of Michigan's stu-
d.nt body in this international sport.
More than 20 of the 'students from
the countries in South. America have
expressed a desire 'that Michigan
have a Varsity soccer team. They
are players -of note in their' countries
and have the ability to help Michigan
put a- reliable team in the field this
fall, it is, said.,
Hold llany Victories
For the last two years Michigan
has had an informal team. It has
displayed a fine brand of team. play,
.only losing and tying two games'dur-
ing that time. The team stacked up
against some of the finest in the state,
playing the Roses, winner of Detroit's
league and the state championship,
besides defeating Flint and other
teams of prominence.
