...Another Williams pupil who gained headlines last week is Coach Ossie Solem of Syracuse. Onetime (1925-32) athletic director at Drake, where he did much to build the Drake Relays into a famed sport event, Solem is this year putting Syracuse back on the map with a freak football formation. On the offense, in Solem's Y formation, the center, instead of bending over and "viewing his mates from an upside-down position," faces his own backfield.

To the Associated Press, Michigan's assistant Athletic Director Franklin C. Cappon denied that he planned to transfer to Yale. In Iowa City Coach Ossie Solem of Iowa denied the same thing. New Haven belched forth a torrent of contradictory rumors: Yale's one-time Coach T. A. D.
