You guys must be sleeping.

They were the BUCK, SWEEP and PASS.


That's a little confusing....i would think those are the three base "plays" of the Y formation...not the three base "sets". I would like to see this "Y" formation.
 
I couldn't attach anymore, the board quota is full.

They're in my playbook that I try and keep alive. It’s a culmination of things from years gone by
 
Just a guess here...Five-in-One had to stop playing in six-man in 1940 because they had to many kids in the school and had to move up in classification and changed their name to Five-n-Dime
 
Just silly. haha

Five-in-one was slated to play in 1942 but pulled out due to financial reasons. They did play again in 1947, but I only found like 2 games.

The Vernon paper is where I found them. Some of OBKs missing scores are in there.

Speaking of five-in-one. How did the school get its name? I can only assume that it was 5 schools merged into 1.

Anyone know?
