Change in Forward Pass Rule Proposed
MEMPHIS AP Lt Col Bernie Bierman dismisses the wartime T formation as a flash in the pan saying it will be just another formation after the war. He notes it suits quick material changes now but won’t replace standard formations in peacetime and expects limited spread beyond current use. Bierman forecasts only modest use and may employ it selectively. He also comments on Notre Dame’s team, doubting it the era’s top squad.
