When his team had a bad year, he usually would say. "Well, are just didn't have It." By "it," he meant power. One of the features of hh> system was a full-team shift Into unbalanced atrength either to right or left. There were nine fundamental formations which could be used with the shift, but emphasis was placed on a single wing-hack attack. Jones was a great advocate of specialisation. His quarterback usually was a man who could run. kick and paas. and did so almost to the exclusion of the other backs. The others would block. He was credited with originating the "running guard" plays. On the practice field he took such complete charge aa to earn the nickname, "head man " Often he was his own line cwth.

WHIRLAWAYIS UPSET VICTIM Attention Defeats Whirlaway In Arlington Classic Chicago. July 28 (UR. His myth of invincibility finally disprovrn but his reputation still pretty sound. Whlrlaway moves on this week to Saratoga for the Travers and then will return to Chicago for the 140.450 American Derby and a chance to square inatiers with his conqueror Attention. That was the schedule mapped out today as trainer Ben Jones refused to alibi his talk’s defeat tn the Arlington classic but passed It off as just ''one of those things " The soft-spoken Kansas said all advance plans for Whlrlaway alill held good, including a proposed trip to California this winter for a shot at the (100.000 Santa Anita handicap. "I have absolutely no explanation. alibi or excuse for Whirlsway’s defeat by Attention in the classic,” the Calumet farm boss explained. "The horse was fit when he entered the race and Al Shelhamer rode him just as he was told. Make it plain that none of us are blaming the jockey "Maybe we will get another crack at Attention In the American derby at Washington Park nest month Mrs. Parker Corning's horse was the better one "ere on Satnrdsv and quite naturally I'm disappointed. But maybe things will lie a bit different next time At least I hope so." Meanwhile the many hackers In the crowd of 50.000 which saw the Calumet cyclone take his first whipping since last April came up with an odd variety of excuses, but moat of them were rather thin. The only sound aliblt they could muster was thst Whirlsway could nut have been at his best considering the rather mediocre time In
