00:21 How to play football. Football needs special equipment. A college covered with ivy, a coliseum or stadium filled to overflowing with football.
00:28 A college covered with ivy, a coliseum or stadium filled to overflowing with 100,000 rabid, wildly cheering fans,
00:34 great armies of vendors, managers, mascots, photographers, sports writers, doctors, elaborate brass bands, assorted coaches, old grads,
00:43 scores of Annie Oakleys, and two teams resplendent in brilliant uniforms create a riot of color and atmosphere unequaled by any other game on earth.
00:52 Now the object of the game is to advance the ball over the goal line of the opposing team by hook or crook.
00:59 Eleven men on either team, two ends, and that's how the game is played.
01:05 Now the teams line up for the kickoff. The referee blows his whistle, and the game is on.
01:10 It's a long high end over end kick over the end zone into the arms of a swivel hip smith, that great all-American star triple-frets catback.
01:16 Look at him go. They can't touch him. He can really carry the mail, that boy. Look at that open field runner. Look at that straight arm.
01:21 He's away, and he's over for a touchdown.
01:25 Well, it isn't often you see this happen, 105 yards to a touchdown on the opening kickoff.
01:30 Now here's the drive for the extra point, and the kick is good, and the score is seven to nothing.
01:37 Here comes swivel hip smith out of the game. Listen to that cheer.
01:42 The coach is saving smith. He's not taking any chances with his star player.
01:47 Back to the game. Taxidermy Tech kicks off to Anthropology A&M, but the ball is fumbled.
01:52 Yes, and now it's Taxidermy Tech's ball. They go into a huddle.
01:56 The quarterback or field general looks over the defense and decides which number to call.
02:00 They come quickly out of the huddle. The line shifts into position. The quarterback barks his signals.
02:08 The backfield shifts. The ball is snapped. The quarterback fakes it to halfback, gives it to fullback.
02:13 The front foul drafts the center for a gain of eight yards.
02:18 And that quarterback's a smart boy.
02:23 Oh! All right, all right, signals. 18, 29, 47, 63, 54, 99.
02:30 The team's working like a well-oiled machine.
02:35 It's a double wing back to the right from an unbalanced line, a man in motion.
02:37 The halfback's got it off back line. He's smeared for a nine-yard loss. What a dumb quarterback.
02:43 To the spectator, football may appear rather rough at times, but in reality, it's a character-building game.
02:50 All right, Taxidermy's ball. Third down and 11 to go. DeGrotti has the ball. He gives it to Gershman.
02:55 No, Sibley's got it. There it goes to right. No, no, it's a fake.
02:58 A hidden ball, crisscross, cross, buck, end around, double lateral, razzle-dazzle, spinner, split buck.
03:03 And he's in the clear.
03:08 Uh-oh, there's a penalty on the play. It's against Taxidermy Tech.
03:13 One, two, three, four, five, 15 yards for unnecessary roughness.
03:19 Now, that's fourth down and 26 to go for TNT. The quarterback is worried.
03:24 The coach radiates confidence.
03:27 The quarterback decides to kick.
03:33 It's blocked.
03:36 No, he got it away. It's a high spiral.
03:39 The safety man's under it.
03:42 He muffed it. It's a loose ball. Number 48's in fast.
03:45 Oops, butterfingers. Moose Williams got it. He had it.
03:48 Now, DeGrotti missed it. Seaborn boots it to the 50. There it goes to 35. It's the next ball.
03:52 No, wow, right wrenched it away, and it's A&M's. No, everybody drops it. Nobody's got it.
03:57 A hundred yard fumble, a free ball over Texas goal line, but here comes Nordberg.
04:01 He's recovering the old porkskin for a six. What a play.
04:06 The teams line up for the try for the extra point. There's the kick, and it's blocked.
04:14 Anthropology A&M receives, and they're nailed on the 25-yard strike.
04:20 What's the quarterback going to call? It looks like a pass. It is a pass.
04:25 Geronimy fades back, cocks his arm, rifles a bullet pass into the flat.
04:34 It's intercepted by Anthropology. Here's the 40-yard marker, the 30, the 20, the 10, and he's over for a touchdown.
04:46 There's the try for the extra point. It's good, or is it? Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, and there's the gun ending the half.
04:58 Well, here's one for the books. The officials put their heads together.
05:01 They reach their decision, and the score at the end of the half, taxidermy seven, Anthropology 12 and one half.
05:09 T-A-X-I-D-E-R-M-Y, T-A-X-I-D-E-R-M-Y, T-A-X-I-D-E-R-M-Y, taxidermy, taxidermy, taxidermy.
05:27 During the half, the players are allowed to relax. The coach, who is a master of psychology, points out their weaknesses.
05:35 To prevent overconfidence, he shames them, arouses their school spirit, a man of many moods, now threatening, now pleading, a saint, a devil.
05:45 He has varied and subtle ways of appealing to their sympathy. Now get out there and fight.
05:51 Back on the field, the second half's about to start. Smith's going in. Listen to that cheer.
05:57 There's the kick. Swivel hips is under it. A host of anthropologists close in, but he breaks away.
06:02 20, 30, look at him go. 40, 50, they can't stop him. Listen to that crowd. 60, 70, 80, look at that straight arm.
06:07 He's in the clear. 90, 95, and he's over for a... Wow, he's hit and hit hard.
06:13 This is a real blow to the coach. They're taking Smith out. It's a tough break for the team.
06:19 They're working on swivel hips Smith. Tech is snowed under by a wave of tackle.
06:26 The coach is feverishly trying to revive Smith. Time is running out, and taxidermy is up against a stone wall.
06:37 Desperately, they work on old swivel. Only time for one more play. Look, it's Smith on his feet. He's going in. The crowd goes wild. Anything can happen.
06:42 The team's fired up. Here's the play. Smith's got the ball. He's away. Look at that blocking.
06:48 Smith reverses the field. They're clearing the way. Not a man on his feet. Smith cuts back.
06:53 The crowd is hysterical. It's Smith tightroping down the sideline. Smith breaks into the clear.
06:57 But look, there's an anthropology man on his feet one second ago. What a game. And here comes a tackler. Run, Smith, run.
07:03 Smith's tired, having trouble with the ball. The A&M man is gaining. He leaves his feet. Look out, look.
07:10 There's the final gun, and Smith wins for taxidermy tech by half a point.
07:18 To the coach goes the real credit. It's his clear thinking and calm, level-headed reasoning that makes football the great game it is today.
