THE MICHIGAN DAILY LL TO I VE. BA,1TTLE SAYS YOST Big I-ed Team Will Be Primed For the Wolverines According To Fielding H.. VARSITY PRACTICES IN SNOW AND WIND THAT SWEEPS FIELD Michigan Mentor Not Looking For Easy Time With Opponents Left On Schedule A strong, cold wind and a hurri- cane of snow failed to keep Yost's gridde s from several long hours of practice yesterday afternoon on Fer- ry field. The Michigan mentor, who return- ed to Ann Arbor for the workout, sent the men through punting and passing practice and signal drill. Sparks and Wieman spent a long time booting the ball and practiced get- ting off kicks in the face of the wind. The Varsity scrubs were sent in against the freshman eleven and Coach Yost spent a long time look- ing over the work of both teams. There are several men on the scrubs who might be brought back to the first team, while some of the year- lings have been under Yost's eye for a long time. Yesterday afternoon Coach Yost de- clared that the showing of the Michi- gan eleven in the Nebraska game was as surprising as it was pleasing to him. He found little to criticise about the playing and said that it was truly marvelous. But the Michigan coach was strong in his statement that the showing of Saturday did not mean a loaf the rest of the season. Yost said that in the last few years he has seen but three games like the Nebraska contest. One came in 1910 against Minnesota, one in 1913 against Cornell, and the last in 1914 against Penn. In all of these games the Wolverines fought like men possessed of some new kind of fighting blood and their play was sur- prising in its fierceness and quality. Still following these games the teams did not do as well as everyone expected they would. In 1914, after walloping Penn, the Wolverines let Cornell push them from the field, and according to Yost, they seemed to like being shoved about. Yost is hopeful for a big season and believes there is power and fight in the team, but realizes that he will have to keep working to prevent the men slipping back into a rut. Cornell will not be such a mean op- ponent despite the dope which gives htem a poor team. The Michigan coaching staff is of the opinion that the Big Red men will come to Ferry Field November 10 all primed for a hard contest and they will be ready to fight to the last ditch before con- ceding any victory to Michigan. Penn is still the hardest game on the Mich- igan schedule, but Cornell will not prove to be easy. Yost has been promising scrim- magetfor several days and yesterday afternoon said that his Varsity might get in a little rough work today. If It does, it will be the first time this season that the regulars have scrim- maged. Yost having been kept from this sort of practice by injuries and mid-week games. KAULMIZOO COLLEGE IS GETTING__PESSIMISTIC FEAR FOR WORST IN GAME WITH MICHIGAN SATURDAY AT FERRY FIELD Kalamazoo, Mich., Oct. 30.- Pess- imism .pervades through the Kalam- azoo college camp since the accounts of Michigan's victory over the Ne- braskan gridders upset all dope on the strength of the Wolverine eleven. The Kazoo gridders are practicing daily not with any hopes of winning from the Michigan squad but in an at- tempt to keep the score lower than their worthy rivals, the Normals, had piled against them by the Yostians, two weeks ago. The Kazoo gridders met defeat at the hands of the Camp Custer eleven but the cantonment team is of exceptional strength having several ex-university players including Miller, and Deprato, The Kazoo coach is drilling his men in the forward pass phase of the game and is patching up the weak points in the line. The regulars are all in good con- dition and unless the jinx hits some of the Kazoo warriors in scrimmages this week the college team will pres- ent its most formidable lineup on Ferry field next Saturday. Diekema of the scrubs hurt his ankle in the fray and will be kept out of the game for several weeks. Little is known of the Michigan Mil- itary academy eleven, which the fresh- men play next Saturday. There is usually a strong team in this school and to make sure of a victory, Mitchell will keep his men working hard for the remainder of the week. PFick Men To Run, In Lansing Meet Steve Farrell Selects Men After Race Over Michigan Course Yes- terday Eight "hill-and-dalers" braved the snow and cold weather yesterday to compete for Varsity honors. Sedgwick. Meehan, Fuess, Maynard, Stoll, and Buell were the first six men to romp home after taking the long jaunt through the country, and will repre- sent the University of Michigan at the state meet at East Lansing next Sat- urday morning. Batty and Wheeler came in a little too late to qualify. The team as chosen today will prob- ably not be the team that will repre- sent the Wolverines in the conference meet at Evanston on Nov. 24. Steve Farrell expects to make several chang- es befort that time. Red Donnelley did not compete in yesterday's race be- case he was not in condition. Red is coming around though and the coach expects to have the old Varsity man in shape to run in the confer- ence meet. Besides Donnelley, Steve 'Farrell has some new material on the squad that is showing a fine brand of cross country endurance. Langley, Rolls, Walker, Phelps, and Boyd are all con- tenders for berth on the team. Germans are experimenting with a tank armed with 3-inch cannon and machine guns.

Boyd Alan W. Boyd, hailing from the Hoosier state, is now one of Yost's Wolverine converts and the most ver- satile lineman on the team. "Number 3," as he is known to the rooter in the stands, has born the brunt of Coach Yost's general shakeups playing guard, tackle and in the Nebraska game was shifted to end to strengthen the de- fense attack, and the forward pass formations. After the Nebraska game the sport critics commented favorably on the attack of Yost's alleged weak flankers. Boyd received his early education in Shortridge high school tdianapo- lis and gained prominence for his abil- ity in track and basketball but it was at Michigan that he recived his first lessons in football. He has been on Yost's squad for three seasons and has made one "R," one "M," and will get his "M" this year and is in line for the All-western football team. In class football he played onl the '18 lit team which won the interclass cham- pionship in 19.5, and in '16 and '17, won their num rals. That Alan W. Boyd is somewhat of a student besides being a football man is shown in Coach Yost's remark "that Boyd had made more honor points in his first year than the entire foot- ball team put together." Boyd is en- rolled in the Law school.

After several of the regulars were sent into the lineup, the defense tightened considerably, and the scrubs were held scoreless for the rest of the battle.
