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.

Stanley mer months when Edwin J. Mather, 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.

Announcement that Welch had turned pro was made by -C.-C., Pyle, owner pf the Yankees. Pyle said Welch would fill the spot in the Yankee lineup formerly tak- en care of by Red Grange.

PROSPECTS CARDINALS PLACE FAITH IN VETERANGRID SQUAD MADISON, Sept. 24-Wisconsin's chances for a high rating in Big Ten football this fall depend to a great extent upon the improvement of the 15 veterans from last year. Most of the experienced members of Glenn Thistlethwaite's Cardinal squad are juniors, having played their first Varsity ball as sopho- mores during 1927. Cuisinier, Haye , McKaskle, Warren and Rebholz are all about to start their second sea- son in the Western Conference. Pi- nish is a senior and will finish this. fall. "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. P Ninety Candidates Report tq Coaches Fisher and ;Oosterbaan for initial Workout 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 ,for yearling, football. 4 S, a t G Edwin J. .Mather was born June 4, 1887, at Ottumwa, Ia.
