With two minutes left to play, Northwestern got in possession on its 40-yard line, I sent Ollie Adelman, a quarterback, in with instructions to play it safe. * «Use only straight line bucks to run out the time,” I told him. I settled back on the bench and relaxed for the first time that day. But not for long. On the play, I stared aghast as the hiked into a complicated formation and cut loose with an involved ball-han-dling play which broke Adelman

the Buckeye fiye. The game ended before another play could be run. * Adelman told me he called the trick play to accommodate a lineman, ’ "In the huddle, this fellow pointed out that Ohio State had sent in a new end, and he figured that he could handle him alone if Adelman wanted to call the triple reverse. It nearly went all the way, but not until I almost had apoplexy on the bench.

The president also directed “that every precaution be taken to prevent persons living outside of Annapolis—in Washington or Baltimore or other nearby places— from securing tickets of admission to the game.”

Judging from the tight restrictions contained in the White House announcement, even Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson will not be able to get tickets for the game.
