HEISMAN
EXPLAINS THE
JUMP SHIFT
Claimed That Great Varie-
ty Of Plays Can Be Made
From Formation.
NEW PLAY SUCCESS
WITH FORWARD PASS

THE probability that the powerful
football team Of the Georgia school
OF technology will figure prominently
in the war fund games Of the present
month attracts attention anew to
some Of its remarkable gridiron form
atoms. Of these, none is more famous
than the socalled Jump shift" as de-
scribed by its originator. coach Heis-
man. It Is as follows:
When the shift IS put into effect,
every man. except the center, is back
Of the scrimmage line. The distance
OF the guards, tackles. ends and back
field men from the line depends upon
what kind Of play is to be attempted.
The whole idea of pulling ten men Of
the team back of the line is to give
concerted action and a preponderating
force when driven against the enemy
line.
ain 1910 It occurred to me that
nothing much WINS gained by ask

those men. II was n task almost

DEPORTS that Duke Kahanamoku,

have recently completed a tour OF the

Of the Amateur Athletic union, were
to enlist in the navy, with the under

interest, in view Of efforts being made

incidentally. the fact that the three
swimmers are supposed to be headed
in the direction OF Pelham Bay has
raised the suspicion in some quarters
that competitive athletics have been

There have been reports mt odd
times that many OF the men en-
listed for general service were
none too well pleased to see afh-

they were not to be assigned to

That there was any basis OF truth In

Athletics IS an essential in camp
life, provided every man is required
to get out and try for some team.
Where there are specialists, however,
and the same names appear and re-
appear every time a service team COM
petes, there IS reason to suspect that
the rule OF sports for the many is
being overlooked. Certainly Walter
Camp. director OF training camp activ-
tiles in the navy department, and the
commanding officer OF the Pelham
Bay station. would be the last person
to countenance the administration Of
athletic sports IN such a way that the
ordinary enlisted man, the one who
needed exercise the most, was passed
by. while the specialized athlete re-
eeived every opportunity to practice
and take part in competitions. But,
on the other hand, II will be interest

help. especially TO those farms that are
located unfavorably IN regard to con-

say that shipping by parcel post has
been demonstrated as practical prop"
osition when properly conducted.
To send a two-dozen-size parcel
would cost about as follows: For con-
