The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
Running Through
Running through was a game with absolutely no organization. It
consisted of a bunch of players who gathered around the football
with each player wondering who would pick it up and try and run
for the touchdown. Whoever picked it up was immediately tackled
and had to leave the ball for the next player to try and score
with it.
Where learned: MICHIGAN ; RIVER ROUGE
