  1. How did Jim manage to blast through
  2. defensive linemen? From lacrosse, he
  3. had learned to cradle the ball in one
  4. arm while attacking opposing players
  5. with the other arm. He also used a trick
  6. called the "limber leg." As he ran, he
  7. would move a leg to tease a defensive
  8. player into grabbing for it. When the
  9. defensive player lunged, Jim pulled in
  10. his leg and took off down the field. Jim
  11. included in his running a "high step"
  12. maneuver, in which he lifted his knees
  13. to keep a tackler from grabbing both of
  14. his legs at the same time.
