...listed definitions of the commoner terms of rugby lingo: a "fair-catch" is a catch made direct from a kick or throw forward (knock-on) by one of the opposing side.

His team scored from the 3-yard line as a result of his efforts. Harvard on the other hand, was within short striking distance of the Holy Cross goal line twice, when the attack stalled in face of the determined defense of the opposing forwards. The Crimson had plenty of power, but it was often sluggish...
Cornell could not put anything in Wittmer's way when he snaked a kick-off past them for a touchdown, but after that excitement Princeton rooters sat drearily while red jerseys went through centre, guard, tackle for safe gains. Cornell 13, Princeton...
