RETENTION OF SHIFT
Is URGED BY ROCKNE

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 3.--Knute
X. Rockne, Notre Dame coach. thinks
foot ball is at the crossroads. He
told Notre Dame alumni last night
that the agitation against the shift,
in his opinion, menaces the color If
not actually the life of the present
day game.
There are shifts and shifts" he
said. However. it is simple. Either
a team stops or it does not. The
question of momentum or lack of it
can easily he decided 1t is not a
question of time. as in seconds. 1t
may be only half a second. l think
with proper rhythm a team can cease
Its momentum with halt Of half a
second
1.-THE shift has done much for Of
fensive foot ball 1t has made the
game colorful and a more pleasant
spectacle. | see in the movement for
abolition of the shift a tendency to
revert TO the old rock 'em and sock
EN- game, with both teams playing
a defensive game and crying Come
on tumble, so we can win this game
IF the shift is TO be made what it
Is represented, woodworking piece
of machinery designed only for decep-
ton, it might be accomplished by a
penalty Of say 10 yards. Clipping
from behind has been stopped. be-
cause a player knows IL he is detected
clipping from behind his team will be
penalized IS yards, and a 25-yarl
penalty is likely to be fatal. If a 15-
yard penalty should be imposed on
illegal shifts I am convinced that the
sloppy and ragged shift will be eff
fectually curbed."

Stevens got going better in the last
5 minutes. but was hopelessly behind
Mike Stevens, who substituted
minutes after play began in the first
half, was outstanding during the re.
mainder of the contest, He and
Adams bore almost the entire brunt
of Maryland's offense, while Faber
and Dean did some excellent work on
defense.
George Washington really played a
better floor game than Davis .Elkins.
1t passed more accurately. cut more
quickly, and generally seemed the
better team, but it could not register
points from the foul line as did the
West Firginians, and consequently
went down TO defeat.
Sapp Of George Washington led in
the scoring, registering points. made
nv four goals from the floor and one
from the foul line. However, it was
in total fouls that Davis Elkins got
its margin, as IT scored IS times from
the f5-foot mark, while George Wash
lngton was able to count only {,
ThurstOn Dean, playing guard on
the Maryland basket ball team. rapidly
Is developing into one of the best
players in the section, despite his size.
Dean weighs just 1T pounds, yet in
the last four games has been the out
standing player on the f1oor-~oustand-
ing in each contest as far as both
teams have been concerned. He seems
to have an uncanny way of foretelling
what the other fellow is going to do
and then forestalling It, He is fast
and, despite his lack of weight, never
seems to get Knocked off his feet, and.
Furthermore. he is good shot. Real
intelligence and perfect collaboration
OF mind and muscle are the secrets OF
Deans success. With a team of small
men, Dean is a star, and If he ever
gets a chance to play with four other
men of $50 pounds or over he will go
beyond being star.
just how good a basket ball team
Fordham has is shown by results of
its games with Georgetown and Navy.
After losing in a hard contest to
Catholic U. Monday night, the New
Workers came right back and gave
Georgetown a 30-to-12 trouncing and
then won from Navy by 80 to 90. And
it might be mentioned that Fordham
is the only team that has been able
to beat Navy this year on the An.
napolis court.
When it is considered that Navy
beat Catholic University by 40 TO 20
and has trimmed every other quint it
has played at Annapolis Fordhann's
performance is worthy Of more than
passing interest. Catholic University,
In the opinion of the writer. beat a
better team when it defeated Ford
ham, although that, instead of de-
tracing from, Catholic University's
feat. rather reflects greater credit on
ii for having risen under stress to
sdch heights.
Fordham had the best looking
group of basket ball players seen in
many years on a local fioor-perhaps
the best group ever seen here.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, February 3.--Knute
Rockne's personality, those qualities
of magnetism and dynamic mentality
that have made him the great coach
he is, were never so signally empha'
sized as at the Notre Dame dinner in
New York when he held the diners
i'll thrall for more than an hour.
Primarily he talked about the shift.
Knute sees rocks ahead for the SHIFT
and is ardent in defense of it. II might
be said parenthetically that Rockne's
apprehensions are warranted; there IS,
in point Of fact, grave danger for the
shift In the not distant future.
Rockne's theory of foot ball, he SAID
was Eapoleonic-that is. the concen-
tration of preponderant strength upon
an object inferior in strength ana
preparedness.
Fans Want Action.
Position play and kicking when they
constitute a foot ball game are not
interesting, Rockne said. The public
wants movement, sparkling maneu-
vers, positively offensive methods.
AS to the shift:
I'm the shift you either stop or you
don't stop. Notre Dame players stop.
The stop in the Notre Dame shift is
timed at half a second--a full stop.
Coaches who cannot teach the shift
properly should not attempt to teach
it, they should not be permitted TO DO
SO; for their teams work 1t improperly
and raise feeling against 1t. And one
thing: II the shift goes, the huddle sys.
tam must go. too, for the huddie Is
nothing less than an 11-man shift
Rockne said he employed the shift
because through 1t he could more et'
fectively apply power to an unex'
pected point.
1--WE have three cardinal backfleld
formations at Notre Dame and the
shift is employed to conceal from the
defense the formation from which the
play will be launched. 1t is understood
THAT every one of the three formations
is significant In. its application OF
power.
Knute went on to say that the ideal
type of foot ball player was the light,
fast man who was endowed with
sense OF rhythm.
s1"I can play the big, heavy. steam
roller type of game as played by well
known elevens. We have big man at
Notre Dame, but I don't use them
What I want is q light man who can
use rhythm. Men of this sort are the
men the public wants TO see play foot
ball and II is easily understood why
they make of foot ball a beautiful
game to watch"
Notre Danes great slogan. Rockne
continued. was a word spelled out in
three capital letters. viz. PEP. The
irst p stands for purpose, the Il stands
for enthusiasm and the final letter for
perseverance.
Rockne, speaking of the trip to Cali
fornia last December, said the outlook
for a time was quite dark. The men
appeared fed up on foot ball and were
not keen about the light diet--the
ghost ration" Rockne had
devised for them.

Mcbride Dribble
Keeps OFF Guard
pACVET pATT
....--..BAsKET BALL
BY SOL METZGER.

The star dribbler-and there are
few of then1--must be able to drib
BILE with either hand. There is a
perfectly good reason, as one will
note who watches Mcbride, Okla.
hona's crack forward. Mcbride is
as quick mentally as he Is on his
feet, and he rarely il caught drib-
bling with the wrong hand 1t
stands to reason, and the above
sketches will prove 1t, that an OPP
ponent who rushes a dribbler has
a much better chance OF batting
the ball away or securing a held
ball IL the dribbler in question is
dribbling the ball with the hand
nearest this opponent. Most any
guard can bat such ball, as he
is In command of more speed than
the dribbler. But few guards can
get at ball IL, when attacking
the dribbler, say, from the latter's
left, as in the upper illustration,
the dribbler is dribbling with his
right hand.
Getting to the ball In that case
isn't the only handicap the guard
faces. He's more than likely to
foul his opponent by striking him
with his hand. That's poor basket
ball. Records show that three
times as many fouls are made
against drfbblers dribbling with the
hand farthest away than against
those dribbling with the near hand.
Fouls generally mean points for
opponents. Good dribblers take
advantage of these figures to help
roll up the score.

BOYS CLUB
BY FRED TURBYyILLE.

" VERY sport has its grip. Babe
l. Ruth has a certain grip for his
home runs. The great golfer,
IL Bobby Jones, takes a grip of
the club that every other golfer
tries to copy. The star forward passer
of the foot ball team takes a certain
grip OF the ball: SO does the great
pitcher. The grip is very important.
We have grip in wrestling that
should be learned If you expect to be.
come a real wrestling star.
When you start for your opponent
hold your right hand palm down and
left hand palm up. You're then ready
to catch the grip quickly.
When you get hold on your OPP
ponent and wish to have a grip that
he can't unfasten do it like this:
The fingers OF the right hand grasp
the fingers of the left hand. The
thumb OF the left hand is between the
little and ring fingers of the right
hand (A). The thumb of the right is
curled inside the index finger of the
right (B1 and the little finger Of the
left hand. This grip properly taken
is smooth and strong. There are no
finger ends for your opponent to grasp
and thus break your hold.
The wrestler should learn to relax

which are not in use should always be
relaxed so they will be fresh when
you need them.
Use your brains as we'll as your
muscles.
Don't resist continuously but make
sudden, concentrated efforts to break
q hold.
AT the start keep your arms inside
your opponents arms.
If you have no confidence in GER

on it.
