Faudree, Rousseau, Schelp and Schuster remarked that all non-embeddable graphs with n vertices and no more than n edges are either stars or contain 3 K or 4 C as subgraphs. For this reason they have conjectured that every non-star graph which contains no cycles of lengths 3 or 4 is a subgraph of its complement.
