new COACHES LEAD
CONSPICUOUS TEAMS
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 4.-Four
of the college elevens dominating the
Eastern gridiron spotlight this season
have gained their positions Of promi
neuce under the direction of new
coaches
The quartet Of guiding strategists
now commanding interest with their
achievements are "Tuss' McLaughry
of Brown, Bill Ingram Of the Navy
"Biff" Jones of the Army and Arnold
Horween of Harvard.
All four have gained unusual first.
year success in their jobs. Brown,
Army and Navy have conquered all
opponents so far and are clustered at
the top of the list of Eastern cham
pionship aspirants.
Harvard, after a ragged start, has
developed such momentum that the
Crimson is conceded an excellent
chance Of lifting the Big Three" fol
the first time in years. Confidence
at Cambridge in Horween is so strong
that he has been offered a long-term
job.
Andy Kerr, Pittsburgh graduate
and former pupil Of Pop" Warner
also has accomplished good results in
his first year at the helm. Last Sat.
urday's narrow defeat at the hands
Of Lafayette was the first setback for
the Presidents.
PittSburgh'S products are more
numerous in new coaching positions
this season than those of any othe,
school. Besides Kerr. the disciples of
Panther gridiron schooling include
Andy GuStafson at Virginia Poly,
Jimmy Heron at Washington and
Lee, Jimmy de Hart at Duke and
Tom Davies at Rochester.

Visual Foot Ball
BY SOL METZGER.

Foot ball is a constant battle
between offense and defense.
Some one springs something new
in attack; it goes like WILD nre
for a few years. Then 1t 10 solved.
The first play of this KIND was
the guards back of 1884. 1t con-
quered all opposition for -FOUR
years. Harvard solved IT. every
one adopted the same deieise.
That forces coaches to work OUT
new offensive ideas. One such
was the shift play. The purpose
of the shift is tc outflanS the oe'
fensive line. For years it accom-
plished its objective. Georgia
Tech ran amuck with 1t IN the
South. Spears made his mark
with it q, West Virginia. Harry
Williams likewise conceived 1t AT
Minnesota-and 1t could not he
stopped. Tom Shevlin took 1t from
Minnesota to Yale and defeated
Princeton with It when Yale SEEM
ingly did not have chance.
It's different today. Georgia
Tech gets trounced every other
week, Minnesota by most big op'
ponents. although coached py
Spears. Merely a case OF every
one knowing how to stop It. The
newest wrinkle on offense is Penn's
hidden ball attack. 1t may take
more than four years to solve that
because it IS SO difficult to scout.
Meeting shift plays was a prob.
lem. It no longer IS. One good
method employed to this end Is

CHICAGO. November Coach A.
A. Stagg of the University Of Chicago,
one Of the veterans of the game.
thinks it may be necessary to entirely
abolish the shift.
II wouldn't like to see that happen,
but It may come" said Stagg. in COM
menting on a move being currently
discussed in the Western Conference
as a possibility Of the next rules COM
mittee session.
From various parts Of the country
there have come this Fall reports or
difficulty in keeping shifts within the
law against a team being in motion
before the ball Is passed back.
1T seems a shame to deny the or
fensive team some freedom of forma-
ton and compel it to adopt mold for
its attack" said Stagg. "Such lin.
itation would seriously hamper the
team with the ball and probably make
the game less interesting.
There doesn't seem to be any other
change in the present rule possible,
however. except to abolish the shift
entirely"
