Veteran coach defends single wing era against modern T formation
The article profiles Pop Warner in Palo Alto reflecting on his invention of the single wing around 1906 and the double wing in 1911, arguing these formations adapt better to running and passing than the modern T. He criticizes backward passer throws and notes how teams like Princeton and USCTA have revived his schemes. He also recalls players from Carlisle, Georgia, and Stanford while contrasting eras and praising Thorpe.
