1885," Ed says. Anyway, I'm pretty sure
the SteelerS were the last to switch.
Il wonder" he adds, impishly, what
would happen in the pro league today if
a team suddenly re-introduced the single
wing? It sure would play havoc if it was
any good"
Berrang apparently has a soft spot
in his heart for the old formation, as does
Jim Camp, who actually wakes lyrical.
There was nothing prettier in football, ("
Camp says. "The guards pulling out,
almost like ballet line ="
AS THE DISPATCH from Knoxville
pointed out, it had become increasingly
olrtlcult to play the single wing because
1t was strange and mysterious game to
the high school kids comings up.
That's true" Camp testifies. "All high
schools today use the T. And here's a
TACT majority of boys who play
quarterback in high school 60 on to
become quarterbacks in college. They're
rarely shifted to any other position. So the
coach virtually must use the formation
the quarterbacks know"
Camp himself was a single wing play
er in his North Carolina days and he
retains a certain affinity toward the for
nation. But Jim claims the single wing is
more difficult to coach. Personally, I
think it u.s." he says. you have to teach
so many variations"
THE REDSKINS HAPPIEST and most
successful years were as a single wing
team, which was prior to 1913. When the
skins first came to Washington their
coach, Ray Flaherty, was a confirmed
Single-winger and in the college draft
they had obtained the ideal tailback to
make the formation work. Sammy Baugh,
who else?
Those who remember only the T-for-
nation Baugh perhaps can't visualize Baugh
as anything except a signal-caller, passer
and punter. However, there were a num-
Der Of things that Sammy could do well
and occasionally running and blocking
were two Of them. He also could play
defense, perhaps better than any of the
preSent-day Redskins.
Partly to prolong Baugh'S career, the
Skins shifted to the T in 1943. Another
reason was that 1870 beating by the Chi
cago Bears in 1910, when the T really
came into its own. Maybe there were some
days when couple of single wing clubs
played dull football but on the whole there
was flavor, like after grinding your own
coffee, that's sometimes missing today.

WIN LOSE OR DRAW
NeyIund's Single Wing
Becomes Thing of Past

THE FOOTBALL BUFF who doesn't
feel twinge of nostalgia over the passing
of the single wingback formation at Ten
neSsee just isn't with it. Tennessee was
just about the last bastion Of the old sin
gle wing, which was the legacy of Bob
Neyland.
Oh, there are some few holdoutS, Just
as there are automobiles with running
boards and TV with seven-inch screens.
Jim Camp, who coaches George Washing
ton, was trying to call up the survivors.
John Steigman of Penn uses the sin
gle wing" Camp said, but it's not the old
formation we remember. He's got the
unbalanced line and T variations. Prince
ton also uses the single wing. Let's see
:. among the major colleges UCLA, Iowa
State, Indiana, Texas AIM, Iowa State
all switched in recent years.
1.-THE winged-T they're playing lot
is almost the single wing although, as
said, not the formation we remember"
TENNESSEE JUNKED the single wing
when Doug Dickey, young man from
Arkansas, was appointed head coach of
the Vols the other day. During General
highlands last term as coach at Tennessee
the formation was scorned as chat COW
cred wagon offense", yet Neyland made it
work and never had losing season.
One of the great coaches of all time,
Neyland boSsed the Vols from 1864,
1936-40 and 1868, and his record was
astonishing. Adamant in his stand against
the Information, Neyland produced four
teams that went unbeaten and united and
five others whose records were marred
only by ties.
Over one stretch, Neyland lost one of
81 games. Over another 1938-40 Tennes-
see won 80, lost none His overall record
showed I'll wins, 27 defeats, IL ties. One
Of his trademarks was a limited roper
toire Of plays. Twenty-Five were sufficient.
When Hank Crisp was coaching at Ala
bama, he said: You always know what
Bob Neyland is going to do, but just try
and stop him."
NEYLAND SINGLE WING teams we're
memorable, and he defended his limited
bag of tricks by saying, Its not the num-
Der of plays you have, but the way you
execute them" Neyland's biographer, Ed
Pope, quoted the general as saying he
never used play until it had been re-
hearsed at least 500 times.
The last Of the NIL teams to use the
single wing probably was Pittsburgh. At
least, that's how Ed Berrang, the ex-Red-
skin end, remembers it. 81 think it was

Nine Players Involved in Two Major Trades
Orioles Deal Smith
ToObtain Kirkland

SAN DIEGO. Dec. 4 (AP).-
The Orioles traded Outfielder
Al Smith to the Indians today
for Outfielder Willie Kirkland
and an undisclosed amount of
the cash.
The trade followed on the
heels of a seven-player swap
last night between the Braves
and Giants in which Milwaukee
sent Catcher Del Crandall and
Pitchers Bob Hendley and Bob
Shaw to New York for Out
fielder Felipe Alou, Catcher Ed
Bailey, Pitcher Billy Hoeft and
a fourth player to be named
later.
Smith, IS, batted .272 last
season, with 10 home runs and
80 runs batted in.
Kirkland, %, hit .230, with is
home runs and Al rbi.
The acquisition of Smith
gives Cleveland its only right
handed hitting outfielder. Kirk
land is a lefthanded hitter.
The transactions were the
second and third made at the
winter baseball meetings which
move from the minor league
headquarters here to Los An
geleS tomorrow for the major
league sessions.
Giants and Braves officials
expressed complete satisfaction
with their trade, which they
claimed filled in all the spots.
Braves Get Power
I'VE had to get some runs
and speed on the club" Presi-
dent John McHale Of the Braves
said. I'VE are confident Alou
will provide the speed and hit
ting and Bailey will contribute
lefthanded power both behind
the plate and as a pinch
hitter"

Barry Doubtful
GU Opens
Against TerpS
By STEVE GUBACK
Star staff Writer

Another yardstick will be ap-
piled to Maryland's all-sopho-
more starting team when the
Terps move over to Georgetown
tonight, but it's the Hoyas who
present the biggest question.
If Jim Barry. the S-foot-6
Junior with the 22.6 average,
isn't able to play this season,
what happens then to all the
Hoyas' shiny preseason hopes2
Barry will get a final medical
report on the cyst on his trou-
blesome knee shortly before
game time, but Coach Tom o.
Keefe doesn't sound too hope
full. Barry could be the differ
ence between an average team
and an exceptional one.
IF we won't have him this
year." says O'Keefe, well all
just have to dig In and do a
better job. Each man will have
to take it on as q personal
challenge"
Game time Is $3.50 pm. at
McDonough Gym and It'll pro-
baby be close to q sellout. For
the early-comers, there will be
a 6:l5 freshman game between
the two schools, but oddly the
Hoyas' prize rookie prospect, g.
foot-10 Frank Hollendoner, is
Sidelined with the same sort of
cyst trouble that's bothering
Barry. Hollendoner will under
go an operation and probably
will miss most of the cam
paign.
The Hoyas finished 1918
last season, but six of their top
eight players, including Barry,
are letter-winners, which &C.
counted for the early show of
optimism. Barry has practiced
only four times In the last IL
days and things are so mud
died now that OKeefe says he
won't decide on his opening
lineup until Just before the
tipoff.
Jim Christy, the 6-foot-
senior who averaged 1871, is q
sure starter, but the other foul
choices will be picked from
among Chuck Devlin, Joe Ma.

Alou was the big man in the
deal. The 28-year-old right

Lack Of rainfall is being fell
in many parts Of the Washing
ton area. However, gardeners
can always turn on the hose and
soften the bed or area where
planting is to be done.
The lack Of hard showers is
also evident by the heavy infes-
tation Of aphids on many of the
garden plants. Normally, show
ers help to keep them under
control. In the absence Of show
ers, the home gardener may
use a number of materials. Ma
lathion is probably available in
the kits Of most gardeners. Nj
cotine sulphate works very well,
as does soapy water. In combat
ting aphids on food plants, the
use Of a strong blast of water
