Notre Dame and Georgia Tech
Plays Accentuate Need
for Curbs.
by DANIEL.

Each football season has way OF
developing its own particular problem.
Last year IL was the forward pass which
created most OF the discussion and sug-
gestions FOR changes IN che rules. Th'a
fali It is the shift which g. caasins hec-
tic debate before. duripg aed ~s'cr can-
tests. The problem Involving the srns
in its relation 20 beating the ban lg nor
entirely new one. IL came up AZ me
meeting of the rules committee here last
March. But now it Is acute and GER
tainly must be met with new legisla-
tion.
Two varieties of shifts-iateral and
diagonal--are being used extensively
this season. The old lateral shift, in
volving a quick change along the line.
is not giving much trouble to the Off
cials. 1t is comparatively simple and
is designed to catch the defence unbal-
anced. But the diagonal shift as it is
used by Notre Dame is q play which
is designed to give the carrier tremen-
dous momentum and it is Illegal more
often that 1t Is legal. We do not mean
TO say that Notre Dame intends to beat
the ball. But it does intend to develop
motion after the pass with as little loss
of time as possible. This leads to shav-
ing the rule.
The Georgia Tech shift is another
variety which has created a lot of talk.
Down in Atlanta the officials could see
nothing wrong with it. At the rules
meeting last March it was decided that
the shift was legal if the players had
both feet on the ground. If that inter-
pretation is followed to the letter with
out analyzing the question from the
standpoint OF the spirit of the rules the
shift as worked by Georgia Tech on the
occasion when it was penaliZed against
Penn State here was perfectly all right.
Can't Beat Momentum.
The Tech men had both feet on the
ground But they did not come to
stop that time. They jumped into ter
rife momentum and beat the ball-and
TO line can hope to stop a majority of
the smashes from such shift. A body
in motion attains a certain momentum,
and with that force is far more powerful
than body of similar weight and
strength at rest. The officials here
forced Georgia Tech 10 come to full
stop when using the shift, and this left
the Southern eleven with it's principal
weapon devitalized.
Notre Danes shift without question
S1dVeS the RUE more OIlen liihf IL uOGS
not, but the Hoosers have developed it
to remarkable degree and seem will
ing to gamble on it. They stand ready
TO take their five yard penalty for Off
side when they beat the ball, and take
a chance on being inside the rule more
often than outside it. That leaves a
lot to the officials, and it is for the
rules committee to remove a good deal
of the element of personal judgment and
ability to work quickly with the eye
1t is mighty hard to catch that kind
OF off side from the ground. 1t is more
easily seen from the topmost row Of
the stand. Notre Dame drew a few
penalties because of the shift against
Rutgers, but quite a few infractions
went unnoticed by Natahan Tufts,
Walter Eckersan and Tiny Maxwell,
all of whom had jurisdiction They did
not inflict penalties because they could
not see the fracture of the rules. 1t was
all too fast.
