โฆ Synopsis
There is a regular graph with 12 vertices and valency 6 which has three mutually orthogonal 1-factorizations. Any pair of these can be interpreted as a Howell design or semi-Latin square.
The automorphism group of the graph is A5 x Z2; it preserves the above three 1-factorizations as a set, interchanging two of them. This can be interpreted as a semi-Latin square isomorphic to its transpose with a unique Latin square orthogonal to it.

In this paper, we prove that if D is a 2-(v, k, 1) design with G โค Aut(D) block primitive and soc (G) = 2 G 2 (q) then D is a Ree unital with parameters 2-(q 3 + 1, q + 1, 1).
