From the 30/40s

What were the 3 base sets of the Y formation?

 

[CT6MFL]

I take it everyone is sleeping?

 

[CT6MFL]

You guys must be sleeping.

They were the BUCK, SWEEP and PASS.

 

[Old Bearkat]

You guys must be sleeping.

They were the BUCK, SWEEP and PASS.

I had no clue....

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.

 

[CT6MFL]

you are correct, my bad. Its from the early 30's/40's

 

[CT6MFL]

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

 

[CT6MFL]

what year did five-in-one withdrawl the first time from six-man football? reason?

 

[Leman Saunders]

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

 

[CT6MFL]

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?
