Big Football Games
arranged for "DriUe"
United War Work Campaign
Committee Gives Out
Schedule of Contests
By A. c. cavagnaro

Football contests between the big
gest colleges and service elevens of
the country have already been ar
ranged by the United War Work Cam
paign Committee in its one week
sports drive (November II to 1s) to
secure fund of $17o,5o0.OOo to pur-
chase athletic equipment and furnish
sports recreation for the men in ser
vice "over there" Additional matches
are in prospect and when the list is
completed the week Of November IL
Will be the biggest yet known.
Some Of the big elevens who will
play for the service men are Georgia
Tech, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Missouri.
Hutgers, Pelham Bay. Newport r. ~
Naval Reserve. Oregon and California.
Ine committee has abandoned the idea
of securing the aid Of Harvard. Yale
ana princeton universities, as lack Of
material has prevented the institu-
Ilons from placing elevens in the field.
In tact' this situation prevails at the
majority Of the colleges throughout
the country, thus compelling the com
mlttee to arrange games between the
lHerent army and navy teams.
Welker Cochran, the young billiard
expert, has offered his services to the
committee, which thereupon immedi-
ateiy endeavored to get into communi-
cation with Willie Hoppe in regard to
3, match between the pair for the balk-
line. billiard championship of the
world. II Hoppe accepts the def, the
match mat will be one of 1000 points with
QUO points being played on four nights
IN New York, Boston, Washington and
Philadelphia.
The bowling and track and field COM
!mlttees have reported to the general
oody that they are progressing favor
ably with their programme Of events

.HeiSn1an Shift Responsible
For Georgia Techs Success

ATLANTA, Oct. 2s-Few football
formations introduced in the last
dozen years have caused greater dis
cussion than the "Heisman jump
shift" which has been worked with
such remarkable results by the
Georgia Tech elevens of 1915, 1916,
1917 and 1918.
But there is nothing complicated
about it," insists John w. Heisman,
the originator, who has been coaching
Georgia Tech elevens for nearly tif-
teen years. Explaining the play, Hels-
man said:
when the shift is put into effect
every man except the centre is back
Of the scrimmage line. The distance
that the guards, tackles, ends and
backheld men are removed from the
ilne sometimes depends upon what
kind of play the boys are about to
make. The whole idea of pulling ten
men Of the team back cf the line is to
give to the team concerted action and a
eponderatlng force when it is driven
against the enemy line.
"ln 1910 it occurred to me that moth
ing much was gained by asking my
tackles and guards, standing shoulder
to shoulder with the enemy linesmen.
to batter down those men. II was a
task almost impossible because. to get
ramming power into drive, certain
momentum is necessary. And that
momentum is gained only by run.
$50 l pulled my guards and tackles
back to form first line of interfer-
ence. The halfbacks and end form the
second line. The moment the ball is
passed. the two lines of interference
move forward with all possible speed,
and when, in concerted formation,
it hits struggling enemy line, the
opposing defence line is knocked
down. In cases where an end run,
fake kick, a forward pass or some
trick play 10 to be engineered. the
double line Of interference serves as
an effectual mask"

Boxing Notes
By Fred Hawthorne

The flame of new poetic genius
burns with white glow this morning,
casting a halo over the world, and the
fame is owned and copyrighted by Gus
Troxler, one of New jerseys most up
to-date boxing promoters. Gus guar
antees the fame to burn evenly and
without renewal of the batteries, ana
those who are not satisfied may get
their money back--if they spent any.
Mr.. Troxler, in order to shoe the
wolf away from the side door, conducts
boxing shows in the home of the mos
quito, and once a week he puts on 4
show at Camp Merritt for the benefit
Of the soldiers there. 1t was while
staging one of these affairs recently
tifet Mr.. Troxler was suddenly and un-
controllably seized in the deadly grip
OF poetic movement, and when he
recovered consciousness, it was to find
that he had given something to the
world, in the shape of the following,
called Americas Task"
Americas Task" consists of some
dozen guatrains of verse, dedicated
to All Loyal Americans" and hence
we feel that it is dedicated to all read
crs OF this column. We were about to
say that all loyal Americans are read
ers OF this column. but our innate mod
esty leads us to make it "all readers
of this column are loyal Americans"
Hence. by easy stages, Aunt Eleanor
Ann, it becomes a simple task to dedi
cate "America's Task" to you, the
than whomst" of all loyal Americans.
We are only going to quote one verse
OF Mr. TroXler's poem to-day, but that
will be sufficient, we firmly believe, to
give you an idea of the rest of it.
Here 1t is:
shane, thrice shame. that we should
Hrf
Americans who are dislOyalists.
They still have a chance from evil to
refrain,
For twill be death to those who
traitors remain
We are not going to say anything
this morning about our opinion Of Mr..
Troxler's poetry. Its effect upon us
Is as yet too powerful, and persons
might say we were letting our feel
ings get the better of our sober judg-
ment, but perhaps later we may trust
ourselves to render an unbiased opin-
ion.
Those who know Mr.. Troxler say
Gus puts on a fine boxing show.
