Split T formation spreads defense quarterback is slider
The Split T is the newest basic T variation devised by Dan Faurot and Bud Wilkinson. It spaces the line wider to spread defenders and uses a slider quarterback who moves along the line to hand off. The offense emphasizes options after snap with deep passes and quick pitches, boosting ground yardage and creating holes for gains.

Army sees Fordham as toughest test this season
Gane f By p Scores fx are envisioning a return to the heights the Rams achieved before the war. They were an eastern spower year in and year out before de-emphasis. Blaik professes a genuine regard for the boys from Rose Hill who have rolled up 166 points in beating Kings Point, Scranton, Syracuse and Georgetown. Army scouts report Dick Doheny is a clever T formation quarterback who rules with any in the East. They warn about Jim Maloney and Alan Pfeffer, two slick ends, and Stan Bloomer and Larry Higgins, two hard running packs. On defense, Fordham plays a rigged game. He added that Army had more depth and more team.
