Show COACH TELLS OF FREAK PLAY Quarterback Would Complain Opposing Oppos-ing Team Were Holding and Then Scoot for Goal. Frequently in a pinch a good football foot-ball team will resort to a freak play. Such teams as Pittsburgh, Penn State and Notre Dame are full of guile and very clever in making such plays go through. The Carlyle Indians were generally a crafty crew. But none of these ever pulled a play quite like the one told of by a man who coached In the West last year. Said this individual : "I had a play which I used several times with fine success. My quarter back, whenever when-ever he saw fit, would complain to the referee that the opposing team was offside or was holding and, therefore, there-fore, deserving of a penalty. Of course, the official would take no heed of his plea. Then the player, apparently appar-ently quite perturbed, would declare. 'All right, I'll take the distance myself.' my-self.' Accordingly, he would begin pacing pac-ing off the yards, and once clear would start a sprint for the goal." |
