AUESTION: What is meant by V ~ateral," spot" and

QUESTION: What IS meant e oy v 1ateral," spot" and shovel" passes?
 Answer: A lateral pass occurs when the ball is thrown in lat ,ral direction to another offen- ;ive man. It must be at an angle 70 your own goal line. And the spot pass is a pass thrown to a man who is elected to receive be- fore the play starts. He is sup posed to arrive at a certain posi- ton to receive. The shovel pass, sometimes called the submarine pass, occurs when the ball IS thrown forward to another eligi- ble ball carrier by pasSer who is five or more yards behind the line of scrimmage. It is very short pass, usually thrown to an- other back. It gets the name shovel because it is frequently thrown underhanded. But it may be thrown under or overhanded.
