"Unsettled, with occasional scattered
showers but not too stormy," seems
to be the reading of the Michigan foot-
ball weather vane at the present time
with, less than a week's practice back
of the candidates. Head Coach Elton
E. "Tad" Wieman, is especially em-
phatic on the unsettled part as he
points out that there are only four
positions on the team virtually set-
tied while the rest are left more or
less "up in the air" as a result of the
loss of seven regulars.
The regulars of last year's cham-
pionship eleven who will be missing
include Captain Friedman, quarter-
back and all-American, Molenda, half
back, Weber, fullback, Flora, end, Lov-
ette and Dewey, guards, and Truskow-
ski, center. The men assured of places
are Captain Oosterbaan, end, Gabel
and Baer, veteran tackles, and Gil-
bert, star punter and halfback.
Squad Reveals Power.
As to the prospects of the team, it is
too early to make any definite predic-
tions in view of the uncertainty of the
lineup and the lack of experience of
many of the candidates, but it is safe
to assume that the Wolverines will be
a fairly powerful aggregation. How
they will stack up against such
elevens as Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois
and others is a question not to be set-
tled on paper.
Advance dope in the- Conference
seems to point to Minnesota as hav-
ing the brightest chance to win the
title that the Gopherhave had since
1919 when they gave the Wolverines
their worst beating a Michigan team
ever took. With all-American fullback
Joesting, and all around -veteran line-
up, the Gopher's look more than good
as Michigan is almost the only ob-
stacle in their way to a Big Ten cham-
pionship. T'he other Conference teams.
meeting the Gophers are Indians,
Iowa, and Wisconsin.
The result of the Ohio-Northwesterfi
game October 15 at Columbus seems
to be one of the key games as both
are to have first class teams. In spite1
of the loss of Karow, Klein, and Hess,
the Buckeyes look good while North-
western is not expected to suffer too
greatly from the loss of "Moon" Baker.
The two problems confronting the
Wolverine coaches at present which
call for most serious attention are at'
guard and in the backfield. While it
seems certain that Palmeroli, a letter
man will take care of one guard posi-
tion, the other one is entirely open
with a great possibility of a tackle
being shifted to play guard, there being
rather an abundance of tackle ma-
terial. Besides Baer, Gabel and Grin-
nell, all letter men, Coach Wieman
also has Meese, Pomerening, Robbins
and several other promising tackles.
Robbins is a sophomore who has been
showing up rather well in the few
workouts to date.
Baokfield Is Problem.
In the backfield, the most pressing
question is concerning the signal call-
ing job left vacant by the graduation
of Bennie Friedman. At present, sev-
eral converted halfbacks seem.in the
thick of things, including Hoffman,
Miller, -Grenwald. Another pair of
quarters includes Domhoff and Puck-
elwartz. All of these are letter men,'
Hoffman being the lightest man ont
the squad at 151 pounds.
Although the quarterback post is
the most bothersome, the question of
trying to mould together a smooth-
running backfield combination is far
from answerable at present. If a suc-
cessful answer to this can be found,l
Michigan may be heard from.t
"The men on the squad this year,E
taken on the average, are an exrellent
group," Coach Weiman stated yester-
day, "but there are few stars and there
is little difference between the better
and the worst of the candidates." This
may be either a disadvantage or an ad-
vantage, depending on which way you
take it, the Coach said further. It will
make for a great deal of good reserve

Temporary Arrangement Decided Upon
Co Aeomoaite Crowds At
Three Big 0ames.
10,000 SEATS ADDED
According to present indications
\ichiau's new food ball stadium will
con t a in imore7 1than 82.,{ pOleOI 0when
he Wolverines engage Ohio Stato in
tle Dedication game next October 22.
The official capacity of the rose'rved
scat section is 72,000 persons. For
the Ohio State, Navy, and AlMinnesota
gam nes 1.0,000 temporary seatsl W i e
c,-td aIround the conrete rim of
the stadium. .The exact nunlber of
-ox seats available is not yet. Inow .
The old alphabetical method of (e~ s-
ignating the different sections has
been ahandoned in favor of a numer-1
ical system. The 44 sections i the
stadium will be numbered according-
ly. Each section will contain 72 rowsl
of seats.
Tickets for this fall's games hay
a wolverine engraved on the face of'
eachi one. The section, row, an i seat
Tumnbers are printed on the tub and
tile ticket proper. The g a number
is also contained on each pasteboa rd
to enable the holder to find his scat;
more easily although it is not required"
that he enter that particulari.n gate.
The reverse side of ti,., ticket dis-
plays a plan of the 'tadium. showing
iIl, location of the varinus sections.
The sale of tickets this fall has
been greater than ever before a cord-
ing to Harry Tillot,;on, who is in
charge of ticket (distribution. The
Dedication game with Ohio State was
3000 oversold on Serfeirn er 1. All
applications from alumni since that
(ate have been returned. A few
tI ickets still remain for the Navy and
Minnesota contests.
According to the present heavy de
mand for tickets for the Michigni
State game, the crowd at that con-
Sest will be greater than ever before.
Early indications point to an at
ance n>f nearly 50,000 people.
NEW YORK CITY.--Coach Meehan
of N. Y. U. has shifted Lassman, an
all-eastern tackle last year to end.
CHIQAGO.--The Chicago Cubs have

GRID PERSONALS
Ever since Red Grange got such a
reputation kicking ice around in the
summer time, football men from the
colleges and universtities here and
there have been aspiring to manual
labor of such a sort. Fred Fuller, as-
pirant to the fullback post, is the only
man on the Michigan squad this fall,
however, who brags about toting ice
to keep cool last summer.
Capt. Bennie Oosterbaan, that famed
all-American end, spent the summer
at Twining's Camp Algonquin at Burt
Lake, Michigan, where he was in
charge of a group of boys. Being a
baseball player, Ben "put one over" so
the story. goes. He would take the
boys out for batting practice just about
every day but about the only batting
done was "batting eyelashes"-so as
a result of plenty of sleep Oosterbaan
is back in good shape and pleasingly
plump, weighing 194 pounds.
Frank Harrigan also spent his time
at Camp Algonquin. They say he
did a lot of rowing and worked a
lot with a football. Now he's work-
ing hard for an end or back post.
Vergne Taylor and Herman Ny-
land, since they are to be fighting for
the end position opposite Oosterbaan,
emulated their captain and also
worked at a summer camp. They
spent their time with Matt Mann in
Canada at Camp Chikopee.
Ray Baer, tackle and Vic Domhoff,
quarter, took. a fling at, recreation
work. Baer was employed in a play-
ground at Louisville while Domhoff
was in charge of the tennis courts at
a playground in Toledo.
Gembis, full back candidate, decided
the reputation tof hard-working foot-
ball men should be kept up and work-
ed on a road gang. Palmeroli, guard,
is another who was at hard labor.
'Paul Cook, half back, divided his time
between real estate and work on the
new field house being erected where
the north stands of Ferry Field were
formerly. Greenwald , quarterback
candidate, was working on a construe-
tion company in Chicago. Meese, a
tackle, also is among the laboring
men.
Louis Gilbert. halfback and punter,
vied with Leo Hoffman, half or quar-
terback for taking a rest cure, so they
say, but lost. Hoffman won by work-
ing in a law office. Gilbert got him-
self in pretty good shape by playing
golf. +
LACK CANDIDATES FOR
CROSS CD WTRY TEAM
Only Twenty Men Come Out For First
Workout Yesterday; Tryouts
Urged to Report.
NO LETTER MEN BACK
Cross-country practice started yes-
terday under the direction of Coach
Stephen J. Farrell, with only 20 can-
didates for the squad, including no
getter men and only three members of
last year's team.
*Captain Briggs, Hornberger, and
Iskenderian are the men lost to the
squad through graduation. , Briggs
and Hornberger finished fourteenth
and fifteenth in the conference met,
the former, the first Michigan man
to cross the finish line, winning the
Harpham trophy for the third con-
secutive time.
The team finished fifth in the 'on-
ference meet with 157 points, Wis-
consin, Ohio, Iowa and Illinois plac-
ing in the order named. However,
Michigan met with better success in
the dual meets, winning from Pur-
due 20 to 35. Little, Boilermaker star,
finished first, but Michigan runners
took the next seven places. In the
second meet of the season, with the
Spartans at Lansing, Michigan again
had little trouble, winning 23 to 32.
'The meet was featured by a b'rilliant
battle between Captain Briggs and
Severance of State for first place,
which the latter won by a narrow mar-
gin.
In a triple meet with Ohio and
Illinois, Michigan ran a close second
to the Scarlet and Gray, while Illi-
nois took third place.
Of the sophomore material* which
Coach Farrell spent time in develop-
ing for future team strength,k Monroe,
Wuerfel, and Lamont received their
A.M.A's. They are .the only. mem-
hers of last year's ,team back again
this year, and, together with some
new men, are the most promising
material.
Coach Farrell expects many more
than the twenty that. showed up yes-
terday to come out for pr'atlce today
and in the near future. At least
thirty more men, making a total of
fifty, are needed, and according to
Coach Farrell, a hundred or more are
wanted. An urgent call is issued for
all men who wish to- try' out for the
team, especially those who, have had
any experience whatsoever.

Babe Ruth.I
By driving a long home run into
the center field bleachers in one of
Sunday's contests with the Chicago
White Sox, Babe Ruth, advanced a
step nearer the home run record
which he established in 1321 by polling
out 59 circuit blows.
At the present time the hard-hitting
Yankee outfielder has 54 homers to
his credit, two less than he had at
this time the year he made the pres-
ent mark, but it was ten days befog.
he connected for his 57 circuit drive
in 1921 so be has a good chance to
better the mark this season.
