Between 4 and 8 offensive players would make a formation, with interlinked arms (or by grabbing handles on their teammates' pants) and fling themselves against a single point in the defensive line in order to break through and protect the ball carrier, pulled or pushed along with them.

In the case of a tie, both teams would mass all their players on the field. The referee would roll the ball between them, one of the teams would gain possession, and the game would be played with all the players on the field until one team or the other scored.

A technique borrowed from basketball, in which the ball carrier, pursued by a tackler, bounced the football (which was rounder than it is now) off the ground, making him momentarily immune from a legal tackle because he did not "possess" the ball.

An offensive strategy consisting of making a sequence of onside kicks and touchdowns without giving up possession of the ball in order to bring the ball out from the sideline toward the center, which would lessen the angle toward the goalposts through which the kick for the goal would have to be made.

A catch signaled by the team before receiving a punt in which the receiver could not legally be tackled, but in which he was not allowed to advance the ball downfield.

The usual way of putting the ball in play after it had gone out of bounds ("in touch"), in which one player from the team that ran it out stood at the sideline and threw it between a double line of players from both sides lined up perpendicular to the sideline.
