What standard of a team Coach Yost could develop from a squad which was so evidently lacking in line material while possessing such splendid backfield men was a question. The University waited with anxiety for the first scheduled contest in order that they might judge the team's worth and learn the style of game in which Michigan was to specialize. A scrub game between a tentative university team and the supposed second string men served only to mark the difference in quality which would eixst between the line and the backfield of the regular team when it had been...
...scrimmage during the last week has served to round the men into excellent form, and to develop the team into an efficient football machine.

If there is no greater response, the scheme is of course doomed to failure, but such an opportunity to "play football for the fun of it," and to develop University material should not be allowed to slip...
