Tan Tanurg! is cold on the idea that the split-T attack—his own brain- €. .u-=as ONE oy Lootcall’s most pow- | erful offensive formations. Faurot, head coach at Missouri since 1935, is getting fine coopera-| tion from Coaches Charles (Bud) ! Wilkinson of Oklahoma and Jim| Tatum of Maryland, his assistants at Iowa Pre-flght in 1943, in prov- ing his point. . All three split-T squads are among | the nation’s top ten collegiate teams Loth in total offense (rushing and passing) and rushing alone. In total offense, Oklahoma is sixth with an average of 3814 yards 1or' eight games. Missouri is hinth with | 3713.3, and Maryland tenth, 369.3. Oklahoma ranks fourth in rush-! ing yardage, averaging 296.5 yards; Maryland seventh, 277, and Missouri tenth, 258. : Faurot developed the split-T in his Big Seven (then Big Six) con- ference championship team at Mis- souri in 1941 and led the nation in rushing offense. He won the title’ again the next season. Chauncey | Simpson, long-time Faurot aid, won, the crown with it for Missouri in 1945. Faurot was head coach of thej Navy's Towa preflight Seahawks when they set a national rushing record of approximately 324 yards per game-since broken by Army. “The €plit-T is flexible,” Faurot explained. “Tt adjusis itself to meet the various defenses a team throws against you.” Tt's a comparatively simple sys- tem, too. “There is no large variety ofj playe,” Favrot s: ‘The hoys ha\‘ei less to memorize and can concen- trate on learning a few plays bet- ter.” The primary difference in Fau-I rot’s split-T and the Chicago Bears' ‘T, used by many teams, and the reg- ular T is thac the spreads thereby looseninz up the defensive ferewall and making blocking a bit easier, ‘The split-T quarterback moves di- rectly to the right or left, either handing off the ball or keeping it. Pitch-outs are especially effective In the regular T the quarterback {requently backs up to pass. There's no delay, few traps, and little faking. LAST HOME RUN OF | RUTH MEMORIALIZED PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17,-"["—! The last major league home runi hit by Babe Ruth has been me- morialized by a plaque at the Pittsburgh Plrates’ Forbes Field. The plaque, erected yesterday, kears the following inscription: “Babe Ruth (1895-1948) hit the last home run of his career while playing with the Boston Braves versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, May 25, 1935, at Forbes Field. “The home run, 714th of Ruth’s career, cleared the right fleld stands at this point.” S e For the fiscal year 1949 personal co r~oration taxes are billed to yield three-quarters of all U.
