WILL USE SHIFT
PLAY ON C|NCY
Famous Spears Play viii
Feature on 0ttense
From Now On.

MoRGANToWN,. Nov. /. - Now
that he has used his famous shift
play DR.. G. w. Spears, head coach
Of the West Virginia University
football team, Is expected to con.
tinue 1t on the otfense this fall. Ia
the first four games, the Spears
shift" which was introduced to
Mountaineer fans year ago by the
former Dartmouth mentor, was, to
use that aforementioned phrase
Conspicuous by its absence" II
was used against Rutgers last Sat
urday for the first time this year
and since neither officials nor op.
posing players protested the port.
ly Mountaineer leader is likely t.
bring 1t into play more often in the
future.
The sudden appearance Of the
shift last Saturday was entirely un-
expected. Coach Spears announced
after the game that his charges had
only been drilled In the rudiments
of the shift on four occasions last
week and that up until that time
none OF them had given II any at.
tention. In spite OF their lack OF
practice the Mountaineers put 1t
over smoothly and functioned to.
gether as well as could be expect.
ed, 1t was not, Of course, perfect
cd to the point reached last season
but this will be accomplished with.
in the next week or ten days II DR..
Spears decides to bring 1t baeR
into prominence.
So far this week the Mountaineers
have been preparing for their game
with the University OF Cincinnati
eleven to be played IN that city
this Saturday afternoon, Although
crippled by injuries the squad has
made considerable progress and DR..
Spears will ha able to present d
strong combination at Cincinnati
against George McLaren's husky
outfit. Homer hlartin and several
others will not he able to play, but
Pete Barnum, "IIeFty" DeVaughn
and oliker arc, all available and
stand ready to FIJI any breach.

Inuatlve halfback Of the Bison az.
gregation, Is once more eligible
for participation in intercollegiate
athletics. Patterson was declared
Ineligible at the opening of the
1922 session and as a result has
played no part in Bethany games
this year. Despite tho fact that the
faculty ruled him out Patterson
has BEEN out for every practice
session and he shows the SAND old
speed and ginger which has made
Wheeling fans cape with open
mouths at his performances for
the last two years. Pat is probat-
ly as speedyia backfield man as
Bethany hasShad for some gears
and followers OF the Big Green
arc expecting him to tear up
things at Waynesburg when he
breaks loose.
Arlan Kelly. %ho had his right
wrist thrown out Of place in the
George Washington University
contest will no doubt be kept out
Of saturdays game. Captain
Harry Randolph, the Bison full
back was called home directly at
ter Saturdays contest because Of
serious illness of his father. IT. Is
not known when the green and
white leader will report for duty.
Zook and Stobbs have heen con-
signed 10 the dlscards for the
1922 season. Both gridders have
broken bones In the arm and will
not be available for further use,
Their loss is being kcenly felt
because OF the lack of men of the
ability possessed by these two. to
smash offensive plays. Ktdder's
finger is mending rapidly and 1t
will permit him to play against
Waynesburg the coaches think.
Adkins, with his broken Jaw, will
not be able 10 don the moleskins
for some days yet. II is hoped,
however. that the Ohio University
game will see him in the lineup.

Like the catcher in baseball, tbs
center in football seldom receivcs
the credit due him.
The center oscourse has little or
no chance to carry thc ball, and the
sensational features Of the game
invariably reyOlve around the man
carrying the ball.
A good center is as essential to
football as is the catcher to the na-
tional psstime,
The center in way is the fouu'
dalton OF the line. In addition the
success o: the backfIeld men 10 a
great extent hinges on the acct.
racy of his passing.

 The telephone companies were much perplexed when in the late even ings and nights frequent short cir cults tied up their lines.
