November 4 (#).—Sale of Jack Sheehan, infielder, to the San Francisco club of the Coast League for $4,000 has been an- nounced by the Rochester Internation- als.

LEXINGTON, Va., November 4.— With a victory over the strong David- son eleven to their credit the V. M. T Cadets enter the November campaign with three hard games in a row away trom home. Saturday the Flying Squadron will invade Chapel Hill for the annual clash with North Carolina and this game will be followed by the Kentucky clash at Charleston, W. Va Roanoke will be, as usual, the scene of ;heIThanksgivlng day classic with YPL Visual Foot Ball BY SOL METZGER. Foot ball is a constant battle between offense and defense. Some one springs something new in attack; it goes llke wild fire for a few years. Then it is solved. The first play of this kind was the guards back of 1894. It con- quered _all opposition for four vears. Harvard solved it. Every one adopted the same defense. That forces coaches to work out new offensive ideas. One such was the shift play. The purpose of the shift’is tc outflani the de- fensive line. Fur years it accom- plished its objective. Georgla Tech ran amuck with it in the South. Spears 'made his mark with it ar West Virginia. Harry Willlams likewise conceived it at Minnesota—and it could not bLe stopped. Tom Shevlin took it from Minnesota to Yale and defeated Princeton with it when Yale seem- ingly did not have a chance. It's different today. Georgia Tech gets trounced evéry other week, Minnesota by most big op- ponents, _altaough coached by Spears. Merely a case of every one knowing how to stop it. Tll.@ neéwest wrinkle on offense is Penn's hidden ball attack. It may take more than four vears to solve that because it 18 so difficuit to scout. Meeting shift plays was a prob- lem. It no longer is. One wgood method emvploved to this end is illustrated. Tn the diagram the defense is in position as indicated by the hollow circles. The offense then shifts its backs to the right, the wing back going into the line and the left end jumping back. That move flanks the defense. To meet this play properly the de- fensive line must get into the positions shown by tha blacked circles. The method employed is {llustrated. In figure 1 you have a defen- sive lineman ready to charge. Sud- denly the offense shifts one man to his left. At the same instant he swings his hands over to the left as far as he can reach, places them on the ground. Figure 2—And immediately swings his legs over so that he is facing straight ahead in the position reached by his hands. Figurs 3—This defen- sive shift is a good one because it permits the player to space him- self one man to the left or right with almost uncanny accuracy. He can make this shift as rapidly as the offense shifts. ORI o T R DEMPSEY FAILS TO APPLY.

Possessed of an ideal physique speed, great arm and shoulder strength and an uncanny eye, Manush was wasting his hitting by swinging too hard. . . He bats left-handed. - Invariably he swun, with great power but outside the rightfield fiml line. too fast, driving the ball The hits he did make were, with few exceptions, over first base or through. the firsu ORI, wh n , when he was playing ir- regularly, Manush hit .344. e fol. lowing_year he fell below . and in 1926 he just got into the select sroup with a .303. Starting 1926 Manush was all but counted out as a lar. It was apparent that Ty Cobb would need replacement in center field, where he had performed for 20 years, but Manush did not quite measure up. Harry Hell n, who won the American League batting champion- ship in 1926, is credited with havis worked the improvement in Manush’s batting. Hellmann, whose own suc- cess has been due largely to his ability to place hit, took Manush in tow and taught him some tricks. Manush's batting perked up. He began dropping hits over second base and between the left and center fielders. HMe developed the “drag" single and the bunt, a branch of hitting that served well as a change of pace for Manush, who is regarded nlablhe fastest man on the Tiger club, looked like a bust. The hitting hon- ors were falling to Bob Fothergill, Detroit’s left flelder. Then came the spurt, Manush climbing in a fort- night from tenth to second place. Fothergill faltered, and Manush took the lead, holding it to the end and finishing with a mark of .380. —_— TY COBB IS REPORTED DUE TO HEAD DODGERS NEW YORK, November 4 (#).—A report circulated among base ball haunts here is that Ty Cobb is - tined to become president of the Brooklyn Nationals, an office due to be made vacant by Wilbert Robinson, who has declared he will devote his entire efforts to managing the Dodgers next year. The annual meeting of the club will be in the Spring. ———— King Alfonso is trying to popularize thoroughbred horse racing in Spain, which, it {s sald, will eventually take BAN ON SHIFT DUE, SAYS COACH STAGG By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 4.—Coach A. A. Stagg of the University of Chicago, one of the veterans of the game, thinks it may be necessary to entirely abolish the shift. “I wouldn't like to see that happen, but it may come,” said Stagg, in com- menting on a move being currently discussed in the Western Conference as a possibility of the next rules com- mittee session. From various parts of the country there have come this Fall reports of difficulty in keeping shifts within the law against a team being in motion before the ball is passed back. “It seems a shame to deny the of- fensive team some freedom of forma- tion and compel it to adopt mold for its attack,” said Stagg. “Such a lim- itation would seriously hamper the team with the ball and probably make the game less interesting. ““There doesn’t seem to be any other change in the present rule possible, however, except to abolish the shift entirely. INDIAN IS GREAT RUNNER. Philip Osif, captain of the Haskell Indian School cross-country team and a Pima Indian, is recognized as one of the greatest runners in the United States. He won the 6-mile junior A. A. U. title last Summer and the next day won the senior championship with e BLUE PROVES HE CAN SO IN LOSING TO YALE OKUN BY FAIR PLAY. N EW YORK, November 4—TNT is a mighty good thing to keep away from when it lands. The boys back East have a good idea of the explosive force of the dreaded TNT when Earl (Little Boy) Blue starts swishing his right hand. Blue came East with the reputation of being a dangerous lad with a knockou(‘runch. No one knew much about him and he was not seriously considered by the matchmakers. That meant the Westerner had to go outside of the big city for his work, and Newark was selected a¢ the nearest site to prove to blase New Yorkers that he was the goods. Earl made good from the start and rang up a serles of knockouts. His latest opponent was Yale Okun, for- mer amateur champion among the light heavies. Okun was expected to take all the wind out of the Western- er's sails. Imagine the surprise Blue created when he sat Yale down rather suddenly with one of his super-charged rights! Okun wisely took a count and became obsessed with the idea of keep- ing his distance from the hard thump- ing Blue. This cdurse proved effective. Al- though Earl managed to land from time to time, Yale was going away from the punch and managed to send in some stinging countering blows. The fight went the distance, with Okun getting the decision. The crowd roared its disapproval, but the former amateur star clearly earned the award.. The crowd is with the fighter and always will root him hcme a win- ner, despite the finding and judg- ment of the the referee. One fact stands out clearly. Just as soon as Little Boy Blue combines some boxing with his hitting propensi ties he is ‘going to be a mighty diffi- cult lad to keep away from. Blue will get plenty of work around the biz city.
