others. Hunter made no attempt TO
prosecute the murderers and Sheriff
Barnes permitted the gunmen to have
the freedom of the city. 1t was com

which controlled the company, con-
trolled these recreant officials.
The murder cases have been drag

The Minnesota shift or variations
OF it had been quite generally used
throughout the country for a num-
Der OF years. 1t was used to the
greatest advantage by stationing d
couple OF linemen about two yards
behind the line and in the middle.
The backs were placed just behind
them, then at a given signal the
linenen stationed behind would hop
to a position on either side of the
center and the backs shift AT the
same time, usually to the same side.
Instantly as the shift was completed
the ball was snapped. This shift, so
completed. in quick and smooth
manner, did not give the opponents
sufficient time TO see just what had
happened and form an adequate de-
tense.
Together with the above de
scribed shift there were used varia-
tions, such as the linemen stationed
behind shifting to the one side OF
the center and the backs to the
other. This is used best against
teams that have not mastered a sys-
TEN OF defense which enables them
to shift their men instantly to meet
the formations as created by the
shift.

PRINCETON HAS TASK
TO STOP NOTRE DAME

NEW YORK. October 17.-Foot ball
followers are wondering whether
Notre Danes brilliant and deceptive
offense, which has been reported by
Princeton scouts as consisting of
thirty-two plays, will fool Princeton
next Saturday as it did the Army
eleven.
AS the experts have analyzed the
Foosier scoring machine, it has a
shift formation from which twenty
two different plays alone are run. 1t
has forward passes breaking out CT
scrmmages and out of shifts, for
ward passes from fake criss- crosses
and quarterback sneak" which
gained many yards against the Army.
This play involves delayed pass,
with fent at one side and a dash
against the other. Rhythm and speed
feature every play.
Princeton's offense so far has
shown only seven different plays. The
Tiger, whose defense, as usual, is ex-
cellent, Is expected to play his usual
waiting game looking for breaks.
Some experts predict that defensive
game by the Tiger will result in a
rout for him.
Enthusiastic Notre Dame alumni
say that Princeton is going to be
beaten unless it has a good attack.
for they declare no team in the coun-
try can keep Notre Dame from
scoring
