Blackman's club uses all the varietes of the T-formation, and the coach also bills himself as the inventor of the "V" formation, with the fullback playing just a step in back of the line for better blocking power.

Despite U.S. tariffs that average $62.50 a car, lower Canadian labor costs keep prices within bounds: the 1965s start at $2,125 in the U.S., a price that is $70 higher than last year...
