Riai. Formations

particularly when used in con-
)unction with the single wing, are
primarily the speed and the decep-
ion which can be achieved. Since
he quarterback received the ball
initially and hands it to the ulti-
mate ball carrier at the last pos-
4sible fraction of a second, the
defense must also wait until the
final second until it makes its
'move.
WING-T FORMATION
The wing-T is a variation of the
basic T-formation with the right
halfback in a position exactly the
same as that which he assumes in
the single wing (Fig. 4). This for-
mation embodies many of the ad-
vantages of both the single wing
and the T-formation. It is partic-
ularly effective as a passing for-
mation.
As we mentioned before the
above formations constitute the
basic structure of the Michigan
offense. There are of course a
good many other possible back-
field alignments that could be
devised. Michigan in the past has
used several other formations all
of which are really variations of
the T-formation and the single
.King,.
an Offense
Those which are more likely to
be seen are the double wing-bac
formation, any backfield forma
tion with the left end on the right
side of the line leaving only one
man on the left side of the center
or an unbalanced line to the right
with the backfield unbalanced t
the left.
This is only part of the story
the system of formations becomes
more complicated when one real
izes that by use of the left for'
mation any formation which can
be run with an unbalanced line
to the right can also be run un
balanced to the left.
Deviations in positions of re-
spective men in each formation
may also be noted on any given
play which may give the illusion oi
a sloppy initial alignment, how-
ever these minor adjustments are
generally made in order to allow
a better blocking angle or a more
advantageous receipt of the ball
The purpose of the various for-
mations is to place the blocker
and the ball carrier in the most
advantageous position relative to
the focal point of the play and the
defensive team. In the next article
we will examine the various
methods used by the University in
getting a play under way.
