Billy Hulen Says:
Tornado To Use"
"T" Formation; '
Coach Convinced
Ten days ago Al Simpson, head
coach-elect of Medford high
school, was undecided as to the
offensive system the Black, Tor
nado gridiron machine would
employ next autumn.
Ho leaned strongly toward the
"Y," which he installed with
much i uccess at Ashland last sea
son, but because of certain weak
nesses In that method of attack,
notably at the flanks, his mind
was net made up. He wanted a
system with more flexibility and
versatility.
That system he found last
week at Utah State college at
Logan, where he attended the
football coaching school conduct
ed by Clark Shaughnessy, head
mentor at the University of Pitts
burgh and the nation's number
one disciple of the "T" forma
tion. Medford, next season, will
pour the "T" at its eight (maybe
nine) football foes.
"We will definitely use the
"T" the new coach said. "I
had always liked lt and want
ed to use it, but until having
it thoroughly explained and
analysed by Shaughnessy I
was afraid to take a chance be
cause of my lack of knowl
edge concerning the blocking
assignments and intricaiies of
the backfield maneuvers.
"After hearing Shaughnessy
lecture and diagram plays for
16 hours, howaver, I am con
vlncad I learned enough to
give lt to the boys and make
it work."
Simpson is rightfully very en
thusiastic over the "T," for

turer who makes every point

tense feeling couldn't help but
sway all who attended his clinic.
Simpson plans to not entirely
scrap the "Y," which can gener
ate a tremendous amount of
straight-ahead power. He will use
lt on occasions. But, It can be
assured, the Tornado will be at

land, last season's state cham
pion, as proof it can be played
by prep teams. Grant, of
course, was a "T" team.
The new Medford mentor,
along with all others at the
school, learned plenty about
basketball from William H.
(Little Bill) Miller, famous cage
coach whose teams have won
some dozen national titles I in
prep, college and AAU circles.
Miller stressed that passing and
defense were the two most im
portant things in playing cham-
rjionshln basketball, and advo
cated the one-handed pass as the
basic attacking maneuver.
Miller Is perhaps most famous
for his system of scientific body
control through relaxation,
which he taught to the Cincin
nati Reds ($100 a day for 35
days), Oklahoma U. basketball
team and the Tulsa university
football team. His system, which

high, where Les Grant, who also
attended the school, will be sta

Probably the most athletically-famous
person at the
school was "Cat" Thompson,
all-time ail-American basket
ball player who performed for
the Montana State Bobcats in
the late 1920's. Thompson, now
cage mentor at Idaho Falls
high school, was high in his
praise of Miller's theory of
relaxation under pressure,
though some of the letter's ac
tual basketball teachings met
his questioning eye.

There, he is backfield and as
sistant coach of the "Sea Lions,"

grid team the past season won
five, lost two and tied one and
his cage outfit, with All-American
Jim Pollard, was ranked
seventh In the nation among the
service teams. He palled around
with the local delegation.
Mel Johnson, mentor at
Springfield high, was the only
Orccon coach attending the
school besides Simpson, Grant

Litwhiler was accepted by the
navy last April but was reclassi

he was engaged in work "con
