HOUSTON, Tex, March 21-R-
And now comes the TINT forma-

Jess GRATED the T to the single
wingback and created system

the chief drawback of the single

An exponent OF the single wing

for passing since it is difficult to

For this reason some teams al.
ternate the single and double
wing but they telegraph their plays
by using the double wing for pass

In Clark Shaughnessy's T, one

The blocking back stands over

spring Of the single wing, the
blocking back is keyman in the
Nicely formation as in the T. Or
most plays the blocking back
takes the ball from center, flips
it back or hands it off to team

snapped directly to the tailback
or full back.
Beyond this explanation Nicely
is pardonably reticent about hi
plans, but he does add that were
