...Charlie Whiteside unawares the other day at the Newell Boat House. We were not witness to the scene, but someone seems to have walked off with Mr. Whiteside's great leather coat, while the latter was getting dressed.

It requires a practically immovable line, to hold indefinitely while the backfield shuttles the ball back & forth in mystifying maneuvers. Essential feature of the Warner offense is the "double wing-back." A wingback is simply a halfback who takes position about a yard...
