Church Circus Permit
 Granted by License Com.

The common council committee on licenses voted last evening to grant a permit to St. Joseph's church committee to conduct an open air circus. similar to that held last year on the parish grounds, this years dates being June 16 to 20. Inasmuch as it is entirely local venture, with no nonresident managers. it is not prohibited by the ordinance adopted by the common council in November, 1926. John F. Callahanfi representing the parish committee. explained the af- fair and there was no opposition.
 The committee also voted to grant a permit to Sells-Floto circus to play in this city June 13, an applica- tion having been received from E. r. Maxwell. advance agent.
 Chief w. c. Hart of the police department asked the committee to bear in mind a proposition under consideration by the board of police commissioners whereby the Bob Morton circus would play in this 'ilS HUH J lillt < tO JulS /, ana the police pension fund would re- ceive 80 per cent of the profit. The chief said he feels that the pension fund would benefit sufficiently to justify the venture. but there is also the possibility that the mer- chants of the city might suffer through loss of trade during the time the circus would be here. Tho committee decided to consider the matter and make decision later. in the event that the police commissioners decide to sanction the holding Of the circus. The pen sion fund should net s1S.0O0. ac- cordins to the representative of the circus, Chief Hart said.

The American Interest In Football

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-tP-Develop-
ment Of the present much misunder-
stood shift plays in American foot
ball started 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 mar to be on the
line Of scrimmage when the ball was
snapped. This resulted in the forma-
tion Of the flying wedge. a v shaped
formation. 1t started far back and
the ball was snapped to one Of the
runner just before the wedge cross
ed the scrimmage line.
Rule Changes
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 scrimmage 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
its companion tackle back, turtle
back and all mass formations.
After twenty years Of such plays,
in 1905, the rules again were chang
ed, 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.
IL is necessary 10 make a distinction
between a shift play and the general

a large total Of points.
A season total OF 145 points to its
opponents zero has been run up by
the team. OF this number Sanchez,
fleet backfield ace, has made 75. The
first downs registered against the
Brownsville team so far this season

In the game Thursday Edinbury
only made two first downs, both Of
these coming as a result Of forward

Sanchez carried the pigskin over

Going into the second quarter the
