Famous N. D. Coach Describes Chief Systems Used on Grid

BY KNUTE ROCKNE Member, All America Board of Football (Reg. U. 8. Patent Office) - There always has been a lot of conversation in football circles regarding systems. First, there is the Warner system. This involves two wing backs and consists largely of a crushing power attack by a big plunging fullback along with single and double reverses. The Warner system calls for a plunging fullback, a large number two back for blocking and one of the wing backs must have some size. The other wing back who carries the ball on reverse and double reverses may be small. The deception in the Warner attack comes from the half spin. It is a mighty fine attack, particularly when the timing is accurate. It requires big men and lots of practice. It also is effective as a forward pass formation as four of the eligible receivers, the two backs and the two ends, are in a good position to get out into the open. The second system in wide use is the kicking and passing game from punt formation. This system has been carried on very effectively Ny such teams as Michigan, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Princeton and others. Their style of game is to keep trying long forward passes and if they don't succeed to kick long and accurately down the field. Their idea is to complete long forward passes if they can. If these are unsuccessful to put the defensive team in a hole by means of a well placed punt. Kicks for Position v They punt for position and they hope either to recover a fumble of the opponents or to tempt the opponents into some audacious tactics in order to pull out of the hole Into which they have been placed. This sort of a game isn't much to look at but has been very successful and teams using this, although they may be outrushed a great deal, often get the breaks. The Howard Jones system is similar to Dr. Spears’ system and consists of a ten-man-shift ending up with only one wing back. A wing back is one who lines up jiist back and out-side of the offensive end. Both Howard Jones and Dr. Spears, off this shift, may finish up with about eight variations of the same formation. This makes their attack very effective, unless the rulefe committee makes the shifting team stop for four or five seconds in ->rder to give the defensive team ime to read the details.

Power Plays Feared In stopping a shade over a second - however, to lose momentum, the system has been very' effective. Both tones and Spears have developed * fine fundamentals of line play which makes the power plays through the line Just as much to be feared as the sweeping end runs or the well masked forward passes. The fourth system of play which has been quite successful is the man- . in-motion used from either close * formation or a spread. In the latter case the flank man is in motion before the ball is snapped. This ' has been developed successfully by Stagg at Chicago and Steffen at ; Carnegie Tech. This system requires expert timing so that the man in motion can turn forward . the instant after the ball is snapped. He may block either a tackle or an end or he may go dowd .the field as a pass receiver. * There is a fifth system of play which depends very largely on . formation. A spread formation, ‘however, is not as effective as it •used to be as smart defenses have ; been built up to meet value with 'value. However, with a very clever * chap back ten yards behind who can .Kick, pass and run the formation 'may be dangerous. However, it is mainly used in killing time, or to .-execute a punt. A team using 4 ’spread, however, is helpless when rthey come to the ten-yard line, the -acme-, of intense resistance, and a

spread formation therefore is not used except in mid-field. The Notre Dame system is based on speed and deception. This is in contrast to the Warner system, w-hich depends on power and deception. Notre Dame shifts just the backfield and tw-o ends. The team can shift into one or eight variations off the same formation. Blocking is entirely z, matter of having the proper angle. The main idea of the shift is to place men in position where they get the proper blocking angle on the defensive men. You may say, well, what if

the defensive team shifts and gets in just the proper place? Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t, but when the defensive team does shift correctly then, of course, the value of the offensive shift is lost to a great extent. However, when you have eight variations off the same formation the defense can not and does not shift correctly all the time and that is where a smart team, all carrying information to the quarter back, is able to take advantage of any player on the defense being out of position.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Tuesday’s Times: Connie Mack’s Remarkable Managerial Record—Connie Mack, one of the most illustrious figures in baseball has been manager of the Philadelphia club of the American League since 1904. His club w-on pennants in 1902, 1905, 1910, 1911, 1913, 1914. 1929 and 1930, and they w-on the world’s series in 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1929. The Radium Clock—This clock, constructed by Dr. Frank E. Simpson, head of the radium clinic of Chicago, is the nearest approach to perpetual motion yet discovered. Radium is contained in a glass tube, from the end of which are suspended two gold leaves. An aluminum sheath is mounted on opposite sides of the leaves, and the whole apparatus is inclosed in a glass case, pumped out to as low a vacuum as possible. In operation, the rays from the radium charge the leaves with positive electricity, w-hich causes them to diverge until they touch the metal sheath. The leaves then drop back to their original position, and the movement is repeated. The clock has been running constantly for four years, and it is declared that, theoretically, it never will stop.

LAWRENCE MAY ACT TO THWART 55-CENT LEVY Proposed Budget Likely to Be Balked by Dissolving Incorporation. Thwarting a proposed 55-cent budget levy by abolition of the incorporation of Lawrence, Indianapolis suburban town, whose corporate existence dates back to last November, was proposed by a group of disgruntled citizens appearing before the state tax board at the budget appeal hearing Tuesday afternoon. "Our people are too poor to support a town government,” Mrs. Richard Zirnstein told the tax commisisoners. “A petition now is being circulated so that an election can be held to abandon the corporation. We would like this budget to be held until this can be done.” Tax board members indicated they will act on the budget along with those of Indianapolis, Marion county, Center and Perry townships, all of which were heard on appeal Tuesday.

AL CAPONE AID POSTS $50,000 BONDJN CASH Rearrested, Jack Quzik Is Allowed to Go Free for SIO,OOO More. Bv United Press CHICAGO, Oct. I.—A $50,000 cash bond, furnished by an A1 Capone lieutenant and said to be the largest ever delivered in federal court here, was added today to the huge “good behavior” fund w-hich Chicago's gangsters are posting, unwillingly, with its Judges. Arrested late Tuesday while talking to his brother, Harry, also a gangster. Jack Guzik, second in command in the Capone underworld organization, was arraigned ouickly on charges of evading the income tax law. Government agents told Federal Judge Woodward that Guzik owed $222,501,86 income tax on money earned in underworld activities the last two years. Woodward set the gangster's bonds at $50,000. Ike Roderick, Guzik's bondsman, stepped

forward and placed fifty SI,OOO bills upon the Judge'a desk. As he left the federal courtroom, police rearrested Guzik, took him to another court, charged him with being a vagrant under the strict old law of 1874, and his ball was set at SIO,OOO. Again Roderick stepped forward, but this time he lacked cash, so he scheduled his $30,000 home as Guzik’s bond. These two actions brought to $160,000 the total bonds demanded of notorious gangsters since an organized city-wide drive against crime began recently. Others who have contributed are Sam and Harry Guzik. bothers of Jack, George (Red) Barker, William (Three Fingered Jack) White, Terry’ Druggan, Edward (Spike) O’Donnell, Lawrence <Dago) Mangano and Danny Stanton.
