How and when is the Minnesota
shift" used 70 adVantaoe9

How and when is the Minnesota
shift" used to advantage?
Answered by
GLAMOUR DOBIE
Coach of football, Cornell Uniyer-
sity. His teams indicated for past
two years. Coach, University OF
Washington 19OS-1916, during which
nine years his teams were never de-
feated. Coach of Navy, 1917-19.
The Minnesota shift, or variations
of it, have been quite generally used
throughout the country for a num-
Der of years. 1t was used to the
greatest advantage by stationing a
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
linemen 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 a 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-
tenn of defense which enables them
to shift their men instantly to meet
the formations as created by the
shift.

ELK bOWLERS
IN TRAINING
First State League Match to
be Rolled Next
Thursday

Bowlers of the local Elks lodge to
represent this city in the Elks state
league had their third workout of
the season on the Madison avenue
alleys last night in preparation for
their first league match with the
Bayonne Bills" on the local alleys
next Thursday night.
Matches in the Elks state circuit
will be rolled every Thursday night
and there should be greater interest
this winter, as more than twelve
teams are entered. Amboy receives
a good break in having their first
match on the local alleys.
Howard Richards, Henry Simon
sen, Bill Eyerkuss, Meyer Larsen,
Ben Jorgenson, Clarence Hoffman,.
AL Wiberalske, Jack Weitzen, Ben
Jost, Augie Greiner. Ed Adams.
Harry Neall and Harry Raymond are
the members of the lodge trying for
the state league outfit. A practice
fve-man match was rolled last night
and a similar set of games was rolled
at the previous sessions.
AS rong as the local lodge has
been entered in the state league a
championship has never been
brought to this city. Failure to con-
tinue the pace set early in the race
is blamed.
The six team local league of the
lodge is expected to be started early
next week. Six evenly matched out
fits will take part in this annual
league.

MAJOR LEAGUE
TEAMS MINUS PILOTS.
PLANNING FOR 1924

Four major league baseball clubs
will have Help Wanted" signs out
at an early date, judging from gossip
in diamond circles at the present
time.
In the National League Pat Moran,
leader of a worlds championship
team in 1919 as a result of an al
legged fixed series, is to be disposed
because he failed to lead the Gin
cinnati Reds to another National
league pennant this summer. Moran
has long been recognized as a heady
baseball leader and the reason for
this proposed action is not clear to
critics. The position of. major league
baseball manager Is not the easiest
task in the world.
Kid Gleason, another great leader,
the goat in the 1919 baseball
toss" has quit the White Sox be-
cause the team failed to make a sue
cessful showing in the American
league pennant race this summer.
The Chicago American league team
won the city title from the Cubs by
coping four consecutive wins after
the first two games had been decided
in the National clubs favor. Gleason
may go to Washington or Boston
Americans.
DOME Bush, former Detroit ball
%tosser, has been deposed as leader of
the Washington Americans appar-
emily on account of the poor show
ing made by that team during the
1928 season. This leader has not had
a world beating roster to work with
and it is quite difficult to make any
real progress in one season.
Frank Chance, a winning leader
with the Chicago Cubs years ago, has
been given his release by the Boston
Red Sox. Chance practically had
nothing more than a second string
Yankee team to work with at Boston
and it Is believed he is well satisfied
to be through with the job. Chance
is slated to take Gleason's berth or
go to Washington.

I'm THE SWEAT OF THY FACE"

The recent statement by Vice President
Coolidge that people cannot live without labor
is SO manifestly true that many will think it
unimportant, but he stated a fact that too
many ignore. AS Mr. Coolidge expressed it,
1T is a mistake to suppose that under some
form of government or in some advanced state
OF civilization people can exist without effort
and live wholly at ease" Of course, if you put
the matter point blank to any man of ordinary
intelligence, he will admit that food and cloth
ing and shelter and the comforts of life must
be the product of labor, and yet there are many
who assume, without asserting it directly, that
by some sort OF governmental legerdemain all
the ills of life and the burdens of society may
be avoided. The same bunch of agitators ask
that taxes be reduced and that the government
render greater service for the people, They
want shorter hours of useful occupation and
larger enjoyment of luxury They want less
production and more products to be enjoyed.
Ii there are some things that the public does
not get through people working privately they
think these things can be obtained without
extra work by having the government do it,
though, manlfestly, the government must hire
individuals to supply the need and must burden
others with the taxes necessary to pay wages.
The only way to live without working is to go
back to barbarism. live in huts, eat little, wear
little and enjoy little except the animal pleas
ures. Those who think that living in land
OF the free means living in freedom from work
make grave mistake. True freedom is free
dom to work and to enjoy the products of work
The communist, the I. w. W. interprets free
dom to mean a right to seize and enjoy the
products of the work of others This world
needs more men like Coolidge to preach the
doctrine of work rather than the doctrine of
ease.

TRAPPING CROOKS.

In the dead of night, thieves several times

a flashlight and snapped a camera shutter when
the cash register drawer was opened It work

ShreWd business men will see in this sug-
,gestion for the office or factory with safe
tempting to burglars The cost of installation
would be small, and the camera could be hidden
so the burglars couldn't find it and destroy the
film
1t most cases the flashlight alone would do
the work-scare away the intruder, under the
belief that a burglar alarm had been set off.
Banks and business firms might use a similar
device, eliminating the flashlight, for daylight
hold-ups. The camera could be worked by the
cashier pressing button, bulb or lever with his
foot

If you are ever held up the most important
thing is to study the bandits build, walk and
physical pecularities that will help identify

One of the foxiest traps ever set for criminals
was rugged up by banker in small western
town. He fixed trapdoor in front of the payz
ing teller's window. When a hold-up stuck a
gun through the wicket and demanded the
money, the teller merely touched lever with
his foot, the trapdoor opened and Mr.. Bandit
dropped like a shot into a nice cage down Gel
lar. Sounds like Charlie Chaplin.
Another unique trap that we recall, consisted
of hooking one wire of powerful electric cir

This has been illustrated in the perfection of
safes and alarms to an almost 100-per-cent-
burglar proof condition. Safe blowing, for this
reason is becoming lost art. That's why we
have so many daylight hold-ups The yeggmen
have turned to the pistol, finding their diamond

RUBBER.

The English, controlling the bulk Of

rubber in our territories, especially
the Philippines.
The relief will come by synthetic
(artificiaD rubber. Our rubber manu-
features already know how to make
it. Only reason it hasn't been put on
the market, it costs more than the
rubber taken from tropical trees. A
cheaper process will be found by chem

rubber passes a certain height.
