Oct. foot-ball formations Introduced the last dosen years have caused greater discussion than the "Helsman Jump shift." which has been worked with such remarkable results by the Georgia Tech elevens of 111, 1K, 1117 end 111. "But there la nothing complicated ubout It." Insists John W. Helsman. the originator, who has been coaching Ueargia Te elevens for nearly years.

Explaining the play Heiaman aaid: "When the shift Is put Into effect every man except thejcenler la back of (he scrimmage line. The dtitanc that the guards, tackles, ends and backfleld men are removed from the line some-limes depends upon what kind of play the boys are about to make. The whole Idea of pulling 10 men of the team back of the line is to give to the team concert action and a preponderating force when It Is driven against the enemy line. "In 110 It occurred to me that nothing much was gained by asking my tackles and guards, standing shoulder to shoulder with tha enemy linemen, to halter down those men. It was a task almost Impossible because, to net ramming power Into a drive, a certain momentum Is necessary.

And that momentum Is gained only by a run. "Mo I pulled my guards and taokle back to form a first line of Interference. The halfbacks and end form the second line. The moment the bell Is passed, the two lines of interference move forward with all poaaible speed and when, In a concerted formation. It hits a straggling; enemy line the Inevitable happena The enemy line Is knocked down.

In cases where an end run, a fake kirk, a forward pass or some trick plsy Is to be engineered the double line of Interference serves as an effectual mask. "The rieauty of that formation Is that every conceivable play can he made from it. Georgia Tech makes prac business men's class, which has been such a big success. One member recently reported a sad calamity as a r-ult of hla attendance tn this class. He aaid that he had lost so much fat none of his winter rlortiea would fit him.

Although the ball was deep In North-western's territory during most of the gsme, the nary had only two chances to score.

"Paddy" Driscoll. a former star at Northwestern, attempted to register two field goals for the bluejackets. He fumbled the ball on his first chance in the second quarter and Northwestern kicked out of danger. Again In the third period Driscoll attempted a field goal, but his shot was low and the ball rolled over the line. A slippery field ruined alt chances for long runs, the players losing thslr footing before being tackled.

The giant can develop more strength for a short time than the little man, but the little man can keep up his Initial pace long after his larger rival Is This can be explained by the fact that the larger man moves a larger apparatus to accomplish a certain amount of work, and by the theory of generation of 'fatigue The very act of work generates these poisons, and In the larger man a larger amount, for more fuel is consumed by him and the waste which contains the poisons Is correspondingly greater. "The large man Is prone to take on fat due to want of great activity, for it Is undeniable that the big man moves slower and with greater difficulty, and therefore with lesser relish than the small man, and as all human like to follow the line of least- resistance, the big man suf fers lap efficiency as a direct consequence of his slse. This taking on of fat affects the constitution, for the relative Dropor ions -of the elements of the body are not the same as In the thin man his con stltution' is not good, and he is apt to fatigue easily, etc." Strange, too, long legs are not always tne speediest. ixok at Howard urew, the greatest of the present-day sprinters.
