...varied offensive formations were the order of the day in the 67th meeting of Harvard and Yale in the Stadium today. Yale relied on the Missouri "split-T" formation. While Harvard used the single wing, and unveiled for the first time this season the double wing...
...outstanding defensive strategist, Hickman has been recognized as a shrewd offensive technician as well since replacing Howie Odell at Yale. Last winter, he worked out the details of his split-T formation offense, which was introduced at fall practice and used successfully up until last Saturday.

From 1941 to 1947 he worked with T and Split-T formations at Temple University, but has coached a single-wing backfield at his alma mater for the past two seasons...
