...Caldwell's run-pass option play (see diagram), Kazmaier's triple talents come into full use. This is the key play, on which the success of the Princeton attack depends. Kazmaier starts to run laterally as the ball is snapped. He takes the pass from center while three possible receivers start downfield-each to different depths. A fourth receiver, the end on the weak side, keeps the safety man decoyed. The deep man is, of course, the primary target. But if all four receivers are blanketed, Kazmaier can just tuck the ball under his arm and take...
...project to grow them in California. There, she persuaded farmers to undertake the experiment. It succeeded; pear-shaped tomatoes now make up about 10% of California's crop. To can the tomatoes, Tillie talked Pacific Can Co. into building a small plant at Stockton, with an option for her to buy. In 1935, her first year, she lost $1,000 but paid all bills. She proved her resourcefulness; once, when the boilers failed, she got a railroad to move in a locomotive, used its steam to complete the canning before the tomatoes spoiled. She designed a conveyor-belt feeder...
...quarterback and play caller. O'Neil is in effect the "brains" of the team. He has the option of calling about 40 plays, not including an endless variety of variations. Besides calling plays in the huddle he barks signals from scrimmage, which belies his quiet, soft-spoken manner...
Caldwell's Mistake. But what the scouts were not prepared for was a new Princeton play, built around Kazmaier, and designed especially for the Cornell game. In Caldwell's balanced-line, single-wing formation, Dick is always given an option on his running-pass play. If the receivers are blanketed by the defense, Kazmaier, already on the dead run, can keep right on going. The ability to pass on the run-and few passers have i-makes Kazmaier even tougher to stop than the ordinary player. For Cornell, Caldwell designed something tougher still...
...method of listing separately the types of utterances which a nation might punish without violating the Covenant. It preserved the seven specific limitations (such as 'expressions which incite persons to alter by violence the system of government'), and added an eighth--the so-called Indian amendment-which gave an option to pass laws against 'the systematic diffusion of deliberately false or distorted reports which undermine friendly relations between peoples and States'. For this there is no counter part in the United States, and the amendment was opposed by the American delegate in the Legal Committee, but without success...
