To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To this one play can be attributed all of the so-called "momentum-mass plays" which there- after rapidly came into vogue. The new pos- sibilities thus revealed soon took the form of "flying interference" from scrimmage formation, wherein the majority of the offensive side started before the ball was put in play to act as interfer- ence for the runner. So overwhelmingly power- ful were these ojff ensive principles that in 1896 the Rules Committee wisely abolished them entirely. Although stripped... of its strongest weapon of attack the offense was not long in devising plays, the salient feature of which was hiding the run- ner in a mass of players who formed a "revolving wedge," usually on tackle. The exact outlet was left to the judgment of the runner, who, follow- ing "the line of least resistance," was often un- wound into a clear field. In order to add more power and deception the offense began the with- drawal of first one and then several line men to re-inforce the backfield. The most successful offense of this type, pro- [70] BATTLE BETWEEN OFFENSE AND DEFENSE duced at Pennsylvania in the early nineties, was called "guards back." This system, which was the first of what was termed "a steam roller" at- tack, held sway over the defense with eminent success for several years.
