Use of Shift Plays General.

Several years ago team using
shift plays stood out as an excep-
ton. whereas today some form Of
shift play. either in the line or back
field. is used by practically every
team. A line divide or a split in
the line. which. with the exception
of year or two when Yale used it
successfully. was once looked upon
with establishment. now is seen
sprung at almost any time in any
game.
So We have progressed and are
progressing. and the possibilities Of
the game seem almost without limit.
1t is constant race between. the in
genuity of the attack to devise new
methods and combinations, forma-
lions and deceptive appearance. and
the struggle of the defense to study
out and match up skill with the In.
creasing novelties of the attack.

Sim Fein Has Supreme Court of
 Appeal Forming

Dublin, July 30.-Sinn Fein IS or ganizing under the name of the Irish Republican government, supreme court of appeal which when set up will complete the system of tribu- nals so successful in handling min or disputes for the past few months The highest court of the British government in Ireland has virtually ceased to function because appeals have been withdrawn and many liti- gants decline to recognize that ii has any authority whatever.
 Arthur Griffith, the leader ot Sim Fein in Ireland, told The As sociated Press, that it had not beer decided whether to have three o1 five judges on the supreme bench nor had any of the judges been se lected.
 "Our lower courts have been sue cessful in checking the wave Q. crime that was sweeping over Ire land a few months ago." said MT Griffith. "Whatever may be sait about the Republican government i by our enemies it must be and il admitted that petty crime has beel on the wane all over the countr. since our courts began to function Naturally many cases both crimina and civil have been appealed but w have no court higher than distric court to which we may take then
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-08-15

Appeal cases are piling up and the need of a supreme court is increas- ing, every day.
 "We do not anticipate any more trouble with the military and police in holding meetings of the supreme court than we have had in connection with the lower ones. Now and then an armed force prevents their being held but in that case the court meets again somewhere else. In nc instance have the troops and police permanently prevented cases from being tried"
 The plan for forestalling British judges and courts is very simple but quite effective. When court i: called men summoned for jury ser vice fail to appear. Fines up to $500 have been imposed on absentees If the officers arrest them and i'm prison them they go on hunge'
 strike and subsequently, are released
 hence, British authorities have ceas ed to use imprisonment as weapon
 and their courts are rapidly ceasinl
 to function.
 i All officers of the Sim Fein par
 ish and district courts, are unde
 the jurisdiction of the Departmen 'Iof Justice of the Irish Republic.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-08-15

Each litigant in civil action agrees to abide by the decision and not take up the case in an "enemy court" meaning a British institution in Ireland. This agreement and the weight of public opinion constitutes the power of the new courts in CIVIL cases. The power in criminal cases lies with the Irish volunteers, a force that is becoming less and less secretive in it's activities. The courts are held in public halls or in any place convenient and reports of the destruction of the court houses of the British government come III almost daily.
 Sim Fein has no prisons. Sen tence in more serious criminal cases and the one most dreaded, js depor- tation, usually to England. Penal ties for minor offenses are usually modification of the pillory system

Germany Has Made
 Enormous Imports

Berlin, Aug. 14.-Since the raising of the blockade, Germany has im- ported 10,OOO,O 100000 marks worth of silks, perfumes, chocolates oranges, cigarettes and other luxuries from abroad, and the poor are clamoring for oatmeal and condensed milk, ac- cording to German advocates of "the simple life."
 A new movement known as the League for the Regeneration of Ger many, which breaches plain living and high thinking return to old time simplicity, coupled with re- vival of intellectually as opposed to the crass materialism of the present day, has been started here. It de- precates the daily issuance of 26,- OOO,0OO marks in paper currency by the government.
 An appeal is made to the people to confine themselves to the essen tials of life-no more foreign-made clothes or luxury foods, no more ex. pensive pleasure trips abroad; nc more costly presents.
 The promoters, among whom arc former Finance Minister Count Roe. dern; the economic expert Walter Rathenau, and dozen well-knowr professors and social welfare work CTS, emphasize that they are not as cetics nor prohibitionists but tha they make plain appeal to the com mon sense of the people to restric their general expenditure for tn! sake of the Fatherland.
 It is claimed for the movemen that it is entirely nonpartisan ant that it has the official endorsement \ of the government.
