Grid Season Opens Oct. 1
Coach Yost will have only a brief
space of time in which to whip the
Wolverine football squad into shapel
before the opening game with Mt.
Union college, Oct. 1. Training will
open Sepa. 15, when 44 men are invited
back to early training, while the squad
will be greatly enlarged by Sept. 27,
the time of the opening of the Univer-
sity. This short space of slightly
more than two weeks will mean that
the gridiron warriors will face Mt.
Union without the usual training. Wol-
verine gridders, however, are not oc-
casioning any worry over the prospect,.
as the initial game will merely be one
of the preliminary games, prior to the
opening of the Big Ten season, Oct.
22, with Ohio State.
Other games on the schedule are:
Case, at Ann Arbor, Oct. 8; M. A. C.,
at Ann Arbor, Oct. 15; O. . U., at Ann
Arbor, Oct. 22; Illinois, at Urbana,
Oct. 29; Nov. 5, open date; Wisconsin,
at Madison, Nov. 12; Minnesota, at Ann
Arbor, Nov. 19.
Exams Hit Tiger Stars
Princeton's football prospects have
received a decided set back as the re-
sults of recent examinations which
have played havoc with the Tiger men
of 1920 who defeated Yale, 20 to 0.
Head Coach Bill Roper has instruct-
ed over 50 men to report to Princeton
for early training. Nearly a dozen of
the stars who had been counted on to
furnish the material this year have
become ineligible because of low marks
received in their examinations. Fif-
teen letter men were scheduled to re-
turn this year, but because of ineligi-
bility scarcely half a dozen Tiger let-
ter men will return to form a nucleus
for the 1921 squad.
Since the freshman eleven was ex-
tremely mediocre, and many of them
have likewise flunked out-, the pros-
pects for a W'inning team for the Tig-

Illinois Loses Hellstrom
Everett Hellsfrom, end and punter
on last year's Illinois varsity, has been
lost to the squad this year because
of a broken leg. Hellstrom was em-
ployed in a construction camp in Iowa
this summer where he met with the
accident wh.ich resulted in a broken
leg. His injury is believed to render
his playing entirely out of the ques-
tion.
Hellstrom was an all-around athlete,
winning letters in football, basketbiall
and baseball. His punting against
Michigan last year was especially not-
iceable in which he outdistanced the
Wolverine punter who was booting the
pigskin while Steketee was on the in-
jured list. There is also a questiqn as
to whether Carney, the other Indian
end will be able to play, but a re-
cent operation upon his injured knee,
it is believed will enable him to re-
sume his old position.

on the recent accusation of H. E.
Michaels, adjutant of the Bentley post,
No. 50, of the American Legion at
Cincinnati, to the effect that Quitman
is not founder of the Disabled Veterans
organization which he represents.
A letter to Quitman from Judge Rob-
ert S. Marx, president of the organiza-
tion, says in part': "You certainly
,were one of the men who were fore-
most in the founding of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World
War."

Editor, The Wolverine:
It is indeed disgusting to read in
the columns of The Wolverine, a so-
called criticism of G. D. E. by one who
calls himself "Sympathizer." This
"Sympathizer" goes on to make fun of
a writer, whona I regard as sincere, en-
terprising, and original. The authort
of the lively little column, headed,
"Critique," is doing something in a
way of literary criticism which de-
serves unlimited support and gener-
ous 'assistance. We must remember
that 'nc university paper is fortunate
enough to boast of a literary column
on books and writers. A graduate of
Harvard recently told me that he wish-
ed his college had had such a depart-,
ment. By investigation I have discov-
ered that Princeton, Yale, Columbia,j
and Cornell are without a publication
in which current works of literature
are criticised. It. is. thus fortunate for
us at Michigan, that, G. D. E. has un-
dertaken and continued, in spite of such
meaningless, self-appointed critics as
"Sympathizer," a column worthy of
every student's consideration.
Why is G. D. E. so irritatingto "Sym-
pathizer"? Is it because he has re-
fused to follow the old path of con-
servative sugary style? Any one can
play safe and use meaningless words,
but oh, for the writer with originality!
Here is G. D. E. who is clever, sin-
cere, and an original writer, making
an attempt to do his bit through the
literary column. And we have the sad
spectacle of an' ass, braying aloud be-
cause, through stupidity and Hooligan
ideas, he cannot comprehend some-
I thing worth while when he sees it.
The "Sympathizer" lets loose his
wrath upon G. D. E., because he has
read too many of, %itut Hamsun's
books. G. D. E. is accused of "showing
off" before the University. Who would
pass over an author who has appeared
before the world as a Nobel prize win-
ner? I, for one, wish to know some-
thing of Hamsun. Perhaps "Sympath-
izer" will write us- a review on "The
Recreation of Brian Kent" or on "Des-
ert Gold"?
Wieman A a Coach
With the addition of "Tad" Wieman
to Yost's coaching staff, one of ;the
most capable and popular athletes of .
recent years will be added to the Wol-
verine staff of coaches. Wieman will :
probably assume the duties of a line :
coach although Tad has more thanT
once demonstrated his ability as a
backfield man.
In 1917 when Yost was hard pressed
for a fullback, he took Wieman from
the line where he had earned an en-=
viable reputation as a tackle, and shift-
ed him to the backfield, where he per-
formed as fullback. Big Tad was im-
mediately given the name of Tank
Wieman for he literally rolled over the
opposing lines in his plunges. As a -
goal kicker Wieman has had few sup-
eriors at Michigan, and it was his loss "
in the Illinois game, together withl
Steketee's injury that resulted in Mich-
igan missing the kick after a touch-
down in the second quarter.
Yost has always had great respect
for Wieman's ability as a player and
as a coach, for the big Wolverine
tackle and back has coached in Los
Angeles, and this spring aided in the
early practice. It will be interesting
to note that Illinois is also employ-
ing a new coach from the ranks of its
rec'ent players. Ingwersen has been
chosen to assist Zuppke. Bith Wieman
and Ingwersen are among the best
tackles developed in the middle west,
although Wieman has also quite a
name as a full back. Both men are
well schooled in the respective styles
of coaching employed by their head
coaches.

Because G. D..E. is candid and orig-
inal, the "Sympathizer" who refuses
to have his initials attached to his pre-
embryonic style of criticism, (although
the dead have their names upon the
tombstones) becomes excited, and
shakes his ears skeptically. A mule
should keep off the race track, for
turpentine would fail to revive his en-
ergies. I had, rather make an effort
at writing thanf ridicule another's ef-
forts. The best way to criticize one,
is to beat him at his own game. Why
