re: Nostalgia thread - who can remember playing tackle at recess?

In the early 60s we had the best tackle football games in a vacant but well kept lot in the neighborhood. Some games lasted most of the day with alteriations to the teams as people were taking a break or were temporarily out of commission. There were arse busting tackles, gang tackles, targeting, etc., but we kept at it.

Very seldom was there any type of injury requiring a doctor.
