...Wilkenson. The key man in the series is the quarterback, and Bassett excells in this type of work. In the play, when run from the basic-T, the fullback and the right half-back both plunge toward the tackle. The left half-back runs wide to the right and parallel to the line of scrimmage. The quarterback takes the snap and thrusts the ball into the belly of the fullback (giving the series its name). He has the option of letting the fullback keep the ball and carry over tackle, or withdraw...
Another possibility is to fake to the fullback and pitch out to the left half-back (who is running approximately parallel to the line). The halfback can either run the ball around end, or pass downfield...

Monroe directed his Secretary of State-a prickly genius named John Quincy Adams-to draft a protest. Foreshadowing a major segment of the Monroe Doctrine, Adams informed the Russian minister in Washington "that we should contest the right of Russia to any territorial establishment on this continent, and that we should assume distinctly the principle that the American continents are no longer subjects for any new European colonial establishments...
