Coolidge Plans New
Attenuation Plays
For Tech Contest
By George Huber

Not to be outdone by college and
pro elevens, many District high
school football teams have adopted
the T formation ii, recent years.
That's being used by Tech when 1t
plays Coolidge on Friday night at
Grifnth Stadium In the high school
hampionship playon.
Coolidge, however, has not Sue
cumbed to the T epidemic, nor does
1t use any Of the other standard
brands of attack such as the single
or double wing, short punt or Notre
Dame. The Colts are the only team
hereabouts using the A formation,
@ little item Coach Gil Conn picked
up from Jim Pixlee at George WASH
ington number OF years back and
which he's been using with more
than fair success. 1t got the Colts
their first football championship in
I943, which was only their second
year In the league. and it again has
them pounding on the door and
slight fayorites to win on Friday
night.
Works From Unbalanced Line.
Generally it's worked from an un-
balanced line to the right, with the
line tight and ends split about q
yard and q half. The quarterback
is directly behind the left guard and
Q yards back. Fullback is 4 yards
behind center. One halfback Is be-
tween right guard and tackle and 8
yards back, and the other Is out on
the wing yard behind the line and
shade inside the right end. The
three backs In the middle all stand
facing the center with their hands
out, and any Of them can take the
pass from center and start the play.
Coach Conn naturally Is very fond
OF this formation. In his opinion
it combines the deception and quick
openers Of the r formation with
the power Of the single wing and
Notre Dame. It gives two-on-one
blocking on plays to the strong
side and allows for mouse traps on
week-side attempts. There's a va
riety of plays, such as spinners,
quick openers and reverses avail
able, with the short man taking
the ball from center, or more power
can be added with the fullback
carrying.
Drafts Set Of New Plays.
At any rate Conn says he's been
working up q whole new set OF plays
for Tech on Friday night just
what they are no one except Conn
and his players know, because the
Colts aren't practicing on their own
field. Every day after school they
pile into bus and travel TO some
unannounced location for secret
practice. Reason for this is two
fold. It crosses up Tech scouts.
il any, and 1t also gets the Colts
away from those amateur kibitzers
who have been exceptionally numer-
Gus around Coolidge this season.
AS for scouting Coolidge, Coach
Ed solomon Of Tech says he's not
interested. These boys here are
having enough trouble remember
ing their own plays" he remarks.
aIf tried to give them any stun
about Coolidge. even If ] knew any
thing. then they really would be
fouled up."
