The Michigan carupus is not criticising' the work of the Wolverine coach. -The records show that the 1917 team rang up 304 points to 53 by its opponents during the season just closed. This showing, i though not equaling the records of the point-a-minute aggregations Yost turned out years ago, is a good one. and the average score of the Michigan team this fall shows ji point every two minutes.

The most logical explanation for the defeat by the Purple sems to lie in the newness of the Wolverine players. The loss of Weston and Lambert, the best Michigan had on defense, was a hard blow, and the absence of these men left a hole which no coach could fill on a day's notice. 'The night before the Purple game Yost told some Michigan students not to expect too much from the team, as he did not have the confidence in them that he had in some other combinations.

Chicago, Nov. 27. President Comis-key of the' world's champion White Sox returned yesterday from a visit to Excelsior Springs in trim for a strenuous season around the' base burner. He returned with the same ideas on baseball as he had iwhen he left and he figured that he wouldn't have to change them much. "We will have baseball next year if the country want sit," lie said.

"It will make no difference now many of my players the government takes. I wish I could go to the front myself. I am not In favor of asking the government for any special dispensation for baseball, as I have an idea that)ur government knows howv to run the country's business better than we do. "Should some of our best ball players be drafted we will have to fill in with others, if the country wants the sport; that's all. There are still many players over and under the draft limit whom we can use.

In the meantime we will be drilling the younger ones to fit themselves physically for later drafts which may come. -I am not worrying over the situation in baseball. All I am anxious about is for the United States to win the big game across the water. That is much more important than our sport at home. "There is no reason why we should not have baseball even with the draft taking Its course, and I have an idea that we will have it, too.

The people will want some sort of amusement during the trying times sure to come, and we can conduct the sport without interfering with the government plans in the least. In fact, I will be no party to any plan -vhlch would put up hurdles against the draft or anything else in that line. Wants 154 Games. President Comiskey said he had not changed his mind in regard to the 154-game schedule, although some of the owners might be in favor of a shorter one. The fact that Eddie Collins might join the colors did not, stampede the owner of the Sox.

He said he hated to lose Eddie, but if the government needed him moie he certainly would have no objection to Collins joining the bigger league. He was pleased to he said, that Jim Scott had won a captaincy in the army. "Scott deserved such a promotion," he said, "and he Is certain to make a good officer, as his past experience will come in good stead now." President B. U. Johnson said he had heard nothing from Washington in re gard to his suggestion about exemp-1 Hon for.

Mr. Johnson said he had not changed his attitude on the shorter schedule for next year, despite opposition from certain quarters.

His principal argument against a season of 154 games, in five and a half months, as advocated by Garry Hermann, Is the question of double headers, which in; that would become more numerous than ever. "Double-headers have done more to hurt the gam than anything else." he said. "We pave been trying to get away from them, and now they want to add them as regularly scheduled games. We may be forced into the long schedule by the National league, but it. would be a great mistake under present conditions." Says A.

Of these, four are in the army, the two Swed-bergs, Lundberg and Samuelson, and Ed Johnson Is serving the government in the offices at Washington. This means of course that Augustana has not even a nucleus around which to build up a team this year. Bloomberg is the only one who has had mentionable experience In intercollegiate games. of course, will be the starting point of the new team.

In the forward end of the floor, the school has such men as Bloomberg Redstrom, Wilson, Dalquist and lighter men, such as Aimer and Soder-gren. while.

Redstrom is just beginning to himself this year and has proved the biggest individual contributor to the scores that the juniors are making.

Coach Liitt is not allowing tbei weather to Interfere with the Rock Island Independent football plans these days.

Tonight the green and white mentor will assemble his players at Douglas park for the first time since the Minneapolis catastrophe. The Independents' coach is confronted with a tough proposition in filling the places left vacant by Kolls and Murphy -Tonight Liitt will use Brindley at quarter, who no doubt will direct the eleven in excellent style after two or three nights of practice, and the old reliable, Loyal Robb will be used at center, where he has shown his worth in several games. With this combination Coach Liitt thinks he can fill the For the remainder of the season Davenport, Jorgensen, Mansfield, Qulnn and Morris will be, used in the backfield with Walter at the pivot position. The local mentor thinks re can develop a strong backfield-in ese men. Strenuous practices will indulged in all week so as to be Jn best of condition for the third and al game with the Davenport Ath- t.u.ics on Sunday afternoon at Douglas, park.

Manager Flanigan has spine bright prospects under his wing to spring in Sunday's combat. Among his most prospective players are Davis and Laun of Iowa, O'Leary and McMurry of Des Moines. Davis and Laun played a star game for the Iowa university during the past season and are rated as the best backfield men ever turned out by the school. In the final game of the year Saturday Davis kicked two drops from difficult angles, which copped the contest from Ames. Laun is a clever open field runnerand his speed has been feared by all opposing teams this season.

Little will have to be said of O'Leary, as he per formed on the local eleven several tiroes this season. It is rumored that Davenport is trying to secure the star officer from Camp Dodge. McMurry, who played in several games with the locals at the start of the season, will be secured to strengthen the forward 'wall, if necessary. Manager Flanigan has several other men lined up for next Sunday, whether they will be secured Is doubtful. With the addition of these men the locals will considerably strengthened and will be in a condition to otu pete with the best eleven in the country.

Every member of the Independents witnessed the. Davenport and St Paul contest Sunday. They became accustomed to the plays used by the Athletic? and will form a defensive to smash the Iowans' plays during the week. Preparing- for Larjre Crowd.

Although it was announced yesterday that Stagg would spend the week drilling the Camp Grant team and that Coach. Yost of Michigan would take over the coaching at Camp Custer, there was no mention about Mur ray or Northwestern having a hand in thet pie and It was 6prung as more or jess a surprise.

Chicago, Nov. 27. A statement "from President E. W.

Dickerson evidently thinks Lincoln has a poor c-xeuse for failure to pay, as it sold one player and another was drafted, while the books show a daily average attend-j mace or almost nine hundred for the past season. A GOOD IV A. STORY, AXYWAY. Hammond, Nov. 27.

Paul Par-iluhn, rich promoter of the Hammond football team, was snorting mad when his club was crushed by Pine Village, waiting to hear from Doug and betting is brisk as to his answer, ZUPPKE'S ELEVEN TO FIGHT OLD HERO Mast Stop Potsy Clark, Idol of Xr-ban a Fans at Camp Funstou Thursday Afternoon. TJrbana. Nov. 27. Bob Zuppke and his Illinl are asking themselves as a curious question: "Can we stop Potsy Clark?" It doesn't seem long since Potsy Clark, the greatest all around football star in Illinois history, was piloting the Illini to championships.

Now the Illinl have to figure out some way to halt the little man when they meet the army team at Camp Funston. next Thursday. Zuppke led his men to the camp today, taking a large squad. It will be more or less of a struggle to keep the Illini on edge after the bruising battle with Minnesota, but the men are anxious to make a good showing before the soldiers. The contest will be a test of east and west coaching, as Paul Within g-toa of Harvard is the army mentor.

Last year, when Wlthington coached Wisconsin, the Badgers and Illini battled to a scoreless tie, so the two coaches have a deadlock In mutual com De tit ion records. The Illini eleven, which will meet the soldiers, will be piloted by a green quarterback, Lovejoy, who was pitchforked into the job this week after Zuppke became dissatisfied with the generalship displayed by Sid Nichols in the Ohio game. The Illinl hold this lost them the championship battle with thaBuekeyes. Lovejoy is a soohomore from Chicago. In the reorganization of his eleven, Zuppke has moved Nichols to right half.

Nichols has shown himself a speedy runner and a strong open field man. Dutch Sternaman, the other half, made the longest run in the Ohio game and is dangerous at all times. Between the two "rabbits" is the huere Charpier, who is now playing up to the gait with which he started in the Wisconsin game. It is this backfield which Zuppke hopes will overcome the soldiers. The line will remain the same, Klein and Halas at ends.

Rundquist and Ems at tackle, Goelitz and Schlaudeman. at guard, and Ingwersen at center. Nichols' shift to the last line of backs will enable Zuppke to use Halas as defensive end. Heretofore Halas has been obliged to play defensive half, as neither IcGregor nor Larimer, previous right halfbacks, has sufficient talent at end to be intrusted with that work. SOCIALS PREPARE FOR SOLDIER, GAME Peoria, Nov.

27. Work started yesterday to put the Peoria Socials in the pink of condition for the benefit game here Thanksgiving dav with the soldiers' team from Camp Dodge, Iowa. Bringing a team of former coIWp and orof essional sjars to Peoria for the holiday engagement the soldiers have thrown a big scare Into the Cady camp, and it will be all work and no piay ror the Socials until after next Thursday's game. One or two changes may be made in the fighting front of the Peoria team in order to send the strongest possiDie lineup or the season against the soldier lads. The Socials have won four games up to date this year and desire to end the season Turkey day with a victory.

-The advance sale of tickets has been big and one of the largest crowds in years will view the struggle if the weather is good. Many towns In central Illinois are to send good sized delegations. "PEANUTS" DUNDEE IN CONDITION FOR BOUT "Peanuts" Dundee, local bantamweight scrapper, declares himself in fine condition for his third bout with Mort Henderson of La Salle, to be staged tonight at Streator, 111.

college stars this season. Because of his popularity on the gridiron last season he was selected as captain of the college football team this year and is leading the eleven to the conference championship. Reeves' many friends in this city wish him success and his popularity among the students of the school is shown whed they selected htm as captain. During his high school days in this city he was probably one of the greatest basketball players the local school ever turned out. In 1914 Reeves was captain of the Rock Island high school basketball team when they won the district tournament and competed in the.

state race at Decatur. The local school was probably represented with one of the best quintets In the history of the school. He was also a star football and baseball player on the local school team. In the fall of 1915 Reeves was rated as one of Augustana's greatest forwards when he quit the local institution to take up his home in Sioux Fails with his parents. Since his entrance at Sioux Falls college Reeves has won letters on the gridiron, basketball floor and ball diamond.

Last year Sioux Falls won the South Dakota conference and Reeves was selected as all-conference quarterback, which position he is holding down this season. His team is rated as the conference winners again this season. Reeves is piloting the team and is do ing the punting and drop kicking for his eleven.
