It then became necessary for the offense to evolve some other method of keeping the defense in doubt as to the real intent of the attack, and the huddle was a very natural answer to this problem.

So if President Butcher considers football as the lesser of two evils he is merely adding it to the greater. His refutation of Mr. White's argument is not sound. It is possible that...
