Development Of the present much
misunderstood shift plays in Amer
lean football stared in 1894 or 1895
with the abolition of the right of
players to be in motion towards the
line Of scrimmage when the ball was
passed.
Since that time the fundamental
Of the rules has been against the
running start" while previous to
the rule changes Of these two years
as many as ten men were in motion
forward when the ball was snapped.
The original American Rugby
rules required only one man to be
on the line Of scrimmage when the
ball was snapped. This resulted in
the formation Of the flying wedge,
q V shaped formation. It started
far Jack and the ball was snapped to
one Of the runners just before the
wedge crossed the scrimmage lire.
Changes in the rule in 1894 pre-
vented the use Of the flying wedge,
while additional changes in the
rules in 1895 required the presence
Of five men on the line Of scrim-
mage with the provision that one
man might be in motion backward
toward his own goal line. This
change in the rule was followed by
the famous guards back formation
of Pennsylvania with it's compan-
ion tackle back, turtle back and all
mass formations.

in 1905, the rules again were changed,
this time to provide for seven men
on the line Of scrimmage and soon
after this what are generally known
as shift plays came into use. It is

tween . shift play and the general

uel. Some accomplish this shift up
on a signal number, the players TAX
ing different positions as they line
up. Some shift in the huddle, a
practice that Michigan has used
since the introduction Of that sys-
tenn of signal calling. In these
shifts there is no attempt at for
ward mo 'ement, just different dis.
tribution Of the personnel to get the
best us. of the abilities Of different
players.
The generally discussed shift as
originated by DR.. H. L. Williams Of
Minnesota. where group shifts and
is supposed to stop, is the one that
has been the center Of public dis
cussion for the past several years,
and it is the shift which occasioned
changes Of the rules during the past
year.
Following out the fundamentals Of
the game as evolved in 1894, tho
rules committee has attempted to
stop all possibility Of a running
start" by directing the officials to
count zone, two. three, four" after
a shift or huddle before the ball is
put in play.
In spite of all this discussion of
shifts and other styles Of play, foot

Vautel is immensely amused by

Will Open Flying
School Here.

tainly like towering monsters, were
the masts of a battleShip. I was
heading for them at 100 miles an
hour. With a side slip and a zoom,

tower and almost into East River. A
group of sailors on the deck of the
battleship cheered and waved their
hats. They thought l was exhibit
ing for their entertainment, but to
me it was missing death by the smell
of SOCK"
Using his own words, that is the
nearest Bob Shank, Oldest living
air mail pilot, ever came to death.
Shank, a follower of aviation since
1915, is now in Indianapolis.
To Open Flying School
With H. G. Brooks, local aviator, a
new flying school is being organized.
A seventy five-aore tract has been
leased on Kessler Blvd. and Lafay-
cite pike for flying field and a six
ship hangar soon will be underway.
In the spring the two will COM
plete organization of State wide
air-taxi service, which will be oper-
ated in addition to the flying school
and their work as sales representa-
tives in the central States for the
Trayelair Company, manufacturers.
Shank was one of the first four
postal department f1ierS who took
the army ayiators' places Aug. 6.
1918, on the New York. to- ashing-
ton air mail route, it having been
started by army men May 80, 1915.

the air mail must start regardless
of weather. If pilot got no far

was all right, but the mail must
start.
1T was on Christmas day, 1918
clear and cool, that I left Washing
ton for Philadelphia. When a short
distance from Philadelphia I ran
into snow clouds and climbed up
1000 feet above them into the sun
shine. I could not see the earth, SO
1 descended.
"At about 1000 feet, hit a driving
blizzard and tried to drop at once
to escape it. Suddenly the earth ap-
peared high up on my left, with a
railroad seemingly about to crash
down on me.

rails into Philadelphia, just high

altitude Of more than fifty feet and
skinned the coast line until
finally found the Long Island train
sheds. Selecting a track that 1 cal
culated would lead near the landing
field, sailed along just above the
wires.
Without warning I heard great
roar and pitched into a cloud as
black as night. I had run over a
train. When the smoke cleared
was still over the tracks. In few
moments I recognized the station
near the field and cut across the
snow covered ground, bringing the
ship to a halt in front of the hang
arS.
"The boys had set fuses to guide
me. The boss came out and said
they wired Washington to hold me
at Philadelphia on account of the
blizzard. But the message was never
sent on from Washington. The air
mail at least must start"

NAVY STILL is
NOT EQUIPPED
FOR DISASTERS
Lack of Pontoons Specially
Noticeable at Scene of
S-4 Rescue.
BY GENE COIN
NEA Service Writer

PROVINCETOWN, Dec. 26.-Two
and half years ago, when the sub
marine S-51 lay at the sea bottom
off Block Island, it became apparent
that the United States Navy was
equipped inadequately to cope with
situations where quick and efficient
rescue measures were demanded.
Today an official investigation of
the S-4 disaster threatens to dis
close similar inadequacy in the Sec
ond emergency.
Experts at rescue work were on
the job at Provincetown within q
comparatively short time after the
Sd collided with the destroyer
Paulding and went careening to the
oceans floor. But they had very
little to work with.
Vital Equipment Lacking
Pontoons and derrick ships are
two vital needs in submarine salvage
work. They are essential to raising
operations.
When the S-4 took forty men to
the bottom, the Navy had available
only the same six pontoons which
were used in 1925 in salvaging the
Ssh.
All six were In storage at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. They were
towed to Provincetown by slow
moving tugboats.
There were no pontoons at the
Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston,
within a couple Of hours of the
scene of the S-4 disaster. The New
London, Conn, submarine base had
none.
Not until the third day after the
S-4 was lost did the tugboat pulling
the second string of pontoons from
Brooklyn reach Provincetown.
Why Not More?
Pontoons are neither so bulky nor
so expensive that a few of them
could not be kept for emergency
purposes at any navy yard.
One derrick ship, the Century, ar

following the sinking of the S-4 dis
AFTER. It had been obtained from
a private New York concern, and
like the pontocns, had to be towed
at slow speed from New York.
It developed during the salvage
operations that helium was needed
for use in connection with diving,
to lessen the danger of divers suf-
tering the bends"
No HeIium, Either
The rescue ship Falcon was not
equipped with tanks of helium when
it first reached Provincetown. None
was supplied until mike" Michaels,
a diver, had been stricken by the
bends while at work.
Practically all the rescue equip
ment lay idle in Provincetown har-
Dor for disheartening long hours
after it's arrival. Heavy seas ami
stormy weather prevented it's use
Navy officials explained. But had
the sea been as calm as glass costly
delay still would have been in
volved. Failure of the Navy to have
q plentiful, we'll distributed supply
of this equipment seems to Lne to
loom stark and distressing against
the background of the S-4 tragedy.
