ing Week's Drill
SHOW PROMISE
FRESHMAN fOO
Beginning their second week of
'eparatory drill, the Wolverine
otball squad, reduced to 64 can-
dates by the first and only cut
the season, went through an in-
nsive' drill yesterday afternoon
an effort to polish off some of
e rough spots uncovered .in. Sat-
day's scrimmage.
Due to the fact that regular
asses have begun in the Univer-
y, the daily work quota for the
uad has been reduced to a single
o-hour session, which will be
ld in the afternoon. Coach
elding H. Yost announced yester-
y that the second scrimmage of
e year will be held this after-
on or tomorrow and the third
. Saturday.
30 Teach Fundamentals
The week's work will consist
rgely in drill on fundamentals
.d individual instruction at the
,nds of the several coaches, with
e added possibility that a little
>re attention will be devoted to
ensive tactics than was the case
t week.
Saturday's scrimmage, while it
s marred by numerous serious
splays, was. a decided improve-
ent over the first practice game
ld last year. The teams were
cessarily limited offensively be-
use of the fact that no plays
re given out until Friday after-
on, but both showed real prom-
on the defense.
Bator ,Reveals Talent
The lack of team play revealed
Saturday's practice tilt was
gely offset by the individual per-
rmances of a number of the can-
lates, and with a little drill in
imwork both teams should show
rked improvement.
Kalman Bator, promising sopho-
re halfback from Detroit, dis--
guished himself Saturday by
fine all-round play. In addi-
n to turning in the best ex-
ition of ball carrying of the day,

for nine years head basketball
coach here, died, August 25, at his
home in Ann Arbor. His death,
which came at the age of 41, was
caused by cancer and ended an ill-
ness of 18 months.
During his career at Michigan,
Mather lifted basketball to a high
plane, leading the way to three
Conference court titles and bring-
ing the quintet into the first divis-
ion in the other years. His work
brought him the distinction of
being one of the best basketball
coaches in the country.
Starred at Lake Forest
Last year's Varsity quintet was
deprived of Mather's leadership al-
most from the start of the season.
However,' Coach Mather kept in
close touch with the squad and re-
ceived a telephoned version of all
of the contests played on the home
court.

great extent upon the improvement
of the 15 veterans from last year.
Most of the experienced members
of Glenn Thistlethwaite's Cardinal

their first Varsity ball as sopho-

"Bo" Cuisinier, a stocky youngs-
ter from Chicago, is set for a good
year in the Badger backfield. In
early workouts the midget back has
shown better form than any of his
competitors. Even though he is the
smallest man on Wisconsin's ros-
ter, Cuisinier is a finished blocker,
a clever open field runner and pass-
es well. Thistlethwaite has shifted
him from half to quarterback to
replace ex-Capt. Crofoot, who grad-
uated.
Neil Hayes of Mooseheart, Ill.,
is another halfback who is being
groomed for the field general's post.

AEAVY LINEMEN REPORT
With over 90 candidates for the
first yearling football practice,
prospects for a stronger freshman
team than Michigan has possessed
in the last two years look unusual-
ly bright, according to Coach Ray
Fisher.
The yearling squad appears su-
perior to those of the last two
years in both quantity and quality.
With an increase of about 15 over
the turnout for the first practice
in 1927, it Is expected that late
comers -will increase the total
squad to about 25 men candidates.
Although the backs do not ap-
pear up to the standard of former
years, the linemen and ends are
larger and heavier than the usual
freshman crop, and should contain
many Varsity prospects. The first
day was spent largely in limbering
up exercises for the entire squad.
The linemen were put through a
long drill on stance, while the ends
were trained to use their arms.
The backs went through sidestep-
ping and tackling :practice.
Of the 516 plebes at the United
States Academy, 260 have reported
