...offensive plays, including a place drop kick, which was successful, and some fakes on "guards-back" formations, which gained several times. The one play used always for gains was the "guards-back" formation with its many variations. Her greatest improvement, however, was in her defensive play, where the line was far stronger, and in which, when the opposing fullback punted, she had an extra man on each end to prevent the opposing ends from getting down on the ball...
