II AfY! a t-a Bay It and Try It! Sure Results RJnnmri JERSILD KNITTING COMPANY Ncenah, Wisconsin The Minnesota shift ga'ned much fame for Dr. Williams and many victories for Minnesota. In recent yjars there have been elaborations on tne enirc. ideas worked out various original formations to Dame tne opposition. When Ueorgia Teen was meeting wun eucq succesn unuer me cuacu-; j.i I ing of John He eman, much of thej team deception was Dasea on plays run from ihift formations.

The Famous Helsman Shift. The legality or tae iieisman snut as used by Georgia Tech was much questioned. Opposing teams Con tended that the rules of the game, offside play In particular, were be ing constantly violated. Next in line was Knute Rockne with a number cf freak shifts that were executed quickly, bewildering au7 jva wvs-a uuu utaaaub gains easy. Four or five years ago, in a game between the Army and Notre Dame, Major Daly, then coach at Vrest Point, disputed often with the officials over Notre.

Dame's shift. A number cf? times he came on the. field to argue the legality of the play. The game was held up by many arguments. Ai recall It, Coach Rockne of Notre Dame d'dn't use the shift In the second hair, in order to eliminate the constant bickering over Its legality.

Offic'als Penalize Iowa. In the recent game between Iowa and th-j shift was once more a subject for argument. Iowa, on its first play of the game, gaine nine yards on a shift play. The officials tenalized Iowa for failure.to come to a stop after the shift, insisting they were in motion all through the play. As Coach Ingwersen said after the game most of Iowa's deception was in thjv shift and that the failure of the officials to O.

it, simpljr put his team Into the air. Ingwersen, pupil of Zuppke, learned much of his knowledge of the shift from -the famous Illinois Zuppke Has Passed Shift Up. I It was noticeable that Zuppke's i team did not. resort to the shift against Iowa. It was once a favorite method of deception for Zuppke's teams.

Here is how he explained It After the game. "The sliift play is all right but you -cant get til the officials to see it the same way. "In one game a certain set of of' flcials will -approve such methods. In your very next game a different set of officials will declare the shift illegal. "A team Is constantly ramfciln? with the officials in using the shift yiay.

tne omcials disapprove of it.your team is, up in the air. shift tbat is open to question by the officials Is no longer tn favor with me. The possibilities are not worth the gamble." JOHN VOLK CO. 4 tail-ra. tama wk.
