Ludmilla: Ludmilla is excited!! I am attending game of American football! Professor: This is just the local high school league. Ludmilla: Who are they? Professor: Those are the backs, Ludmilla. Ludmilla: And the ones lined up ahead of the backs are the fronts? Professor: No... no... they're the offensive linemen... a center, two guards, two tackles and two ends. Ludmilla: Two tackles? So only two men can tackle? Professor: Umm... no. The offensive tackles can't tackle anyone. They're blockers. They block for the quarterback, the halfback and the fullback! Ludmilla: You are most excellent teacher! One question! Where is the three-quarter back? Game is about to start! Professor: Hmmm... where is the three-quarter back?
