"Newsreel Announcer: [Newsreel film of Notre Dame using the backfield shift] What is this new miracle that Rockne has wrought? This bolt of Irish lightning, that strikes from all sides with such blinding speed and fury! A 'shift' they call it. Yes, but Heisman at Georgia Tech also has a shift, so has Tad Jones at Yale. But theirs are simple tunes compared to Rockne's symphony! For this shift is music, the music of a master's hand! Knute Rockne, whose ingenious brain perfected the forward pass, has brought a great new thrill to football and its millions of followers!"
