| Answer/Pointer: |
Huddle - football - origin
In 1924, Herb McCracken, the Lafayette College coach thought the University of Pennsylvania
team had decoded the hand signals he was using to send plays in to his players, so he ordered
them to have a meeting on the field and whisper about what the next play would be.
