...week yesterday, the men being out on the field early and staying until darkness forced the cessation of activities. Signal drill, dummy scrimmage, punting and a hard half-hour scrimmage between the University and second teams constituted the work which the coaches gave the squad in the effort to develop a concerted attack and well rounded team-play...
...through the season the defensive work of the forward line has been below standard; weakness having been apparent in each contest. To develop a line strong enough to stop the attack of the Princeton backfield and at the same time capable of aiding its own backs on the offence is the problem which is confronting the coaches. The return of Pennock should materially strengthen the line, and throughout the week individual attention will be directed to the perfecting of a stronger forward defence...
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. In a scrimmage with the University team on Wednesday they showed up finely, and since then, although the work has been lighter, Coach Withington has been drilling them in the fine points of the game so that they should make a creditable showing against the team which last week defeated the Yale 1918 eleven...

The reconstruction recently begun will doubtless change materially the present line-up, as the coaches are attempting to develop bigger and more powerful recruits to strengthen a line which has not been playing up to standard. Soucy, at end, is falling into the duties of his new position quickly, and should be an improvement over Weatherhead, while Wallace, at center, backs up the line as a secondary defence even better...
