If Michigan's system is to remain in-
tact this season two good tackles'
must be found. Hall, a sophomore,
Edwards, the fastest of Michigan's
linemen, Flora, Kunow and Babcock
:re the best prospects so far. The
last two are veterans but with thel
sophomores fighting for their posi-
tions, they are having to show every-
thing they have to keep their advan-
tage in the race for positions.
Slaughter, Steele, and White, all
veterans look good at the guard posi-
tions and although their competition
will be keen they should see regular
service in the first games of the sea-
son. Bob Brown has been the best
looking candidate for the center posi-
tion so far and although he lacksl
weight has displayed enough talent
to give him an edge on. the job. Last
season he saw service after Blott's
injury.

If Northwestern figures in the Con-
ference title race this season, Mich-
igan will be largely responsible. Ir-
win Uteritz and "Duke" Dunne, both
former Michigan stars are assisting
Coach Glenn Thisltethwaite to mold
a formidable team. Dunne is coach-
ing the linemen, while Uteritz is
working with the quarArbacks.
The University of Illinois and the
U. ofsM., were the only Conference
schools to figuire in the scoring in
the Olympic track and field events.
Illinois led all colleges with a total
of 35 points, while Michigan garner-
ed 13.
Washington is so confident of win-
ning the American league pennant
that work has been started on the
stands to increase the seating capac-
ity to 40,000.

candidates working for it and

mitted that the men were play-
mal football.
lhg the present week the coach-
11 continue to devote their at-
a to individual work, although
nages will be more frequent
now on. The backfield candi-
as usual are plentiful and the
es will not be faced with as
problem in selecting the regular
as they will in choosing line-
Linemen are also plentiful in
ichigan camp this year, more so'
bly than at any time before in
years, but the loss of Blott,

filled inthe forward wall,
as there will be regular backs

Kipke and Uteritz.
Coaches Seek Ends
ng the past week the end posi-
have been given the most con-
ion of any on the team. Dutch:
i, a veteran from last year, willM
btedly be in his old position'
ear while the other end seems
a bone for contention between
Madsen, Keller and Munz.
e Grube, the stocky full back
year's team has been showing
11 on the wing and although he
considerablerin size, is likely to
regular berth.
tackle positions are also get-
lot of attention from the coach-
andervoort and Muirhead, last
tackles were considered the
air in the West and as a re-1
large part of the defense and
offense were built around them.
Good Pilots Avila'le
Tod Rockwell and Domhoff will
probably pilot the team for the first
few games. Rockwell can punt, pass,
and run to perfection, and bids fair
to take Harry Kipke's place. Dom-!
hoff is heady and is good on both ends
of a pass. Captain Herb Steger isF
going better than ever in the halfback
position. His open field running is
superior to what he showed early last
year and he passes and kicks field
goals as well as he runs. Red Mil-,
ler will undoubtedly be the fullbackl
this season. Last year he failed to
show what was expected of him until
he found himself in the Iowa game.
Later in the season he was one of the
most dependable men in the Michigan
backfield.
To Fred Parker go the honors of
the early training season. His 65
yard run in the scrimmage Saturday
was a fitting climax to his work all
during the week previous. Parker
Is a fine punter, an excellent passer,
and a fast, tricky runner. He has
been keeping up with Tod Rockwell
on the kicking game and should be
one of the most valuable men on the
squad by the end of the season..
