Washington Takes to the T, So Look Out, H. S. Foes

Somewhere on our scholastic pigskin safari we: were told that Coach Henry Bogue must have something
at George Washington High School this season, or else he wouldn't
have arranged the rigorous: sched-
ule he has. That “something,” we are pleased to report, is the famous “I” formation which Rogue hopes will ‘operate as successfully for Washington as it has for Stanford and the professional Chicago Bears, It might be said that the sugar and cream for Washington's “T”| is a varsity sufficiently heavy and fast, moulded around eight returning lettermen and the biggest help-
Ing of optimism we've encountered
to date. In fact, Coach ‘Bogue was almost gleeful as he watched the varsity and the sophomores test the “ against each other. “We believe we can pull a few surprises this year,” he said. “See that back in motion—that will fool ‘em. And that end out wide—try to figure a defense for that.” . As complicated as the 00 is,
