Yep. I learned this years ago and for some reason it stayed with me. Weissmuller will always be Tarzan, however.

I remember watching an episode of Tarzan and there was a quagga, an animal that was supposedly extinct at the time. I wonder if they spliced together old footage

During WW2, there were large scale fights in New Zealand and, most notably, in Australia between US soldiers that were stationed in those countries and the local military.

One of these epic fights is called the Battle of Brisbane. The Australian soldiers didn't like that American soldiers were paid more, had better uniforms and got more local women than they did. It was common for there to be some fisticuffs at local bars between US soldiers and Australian soldiers. This finally escalated into a full-scale brawl that ended with an Australian soldier being shot and a US outpost being overrun, with many people ended up injured and hospitalized. The details of the fight were kept out of the media.

Once you intercept it or recover a fumble you're on offense because you can score. Possession of the ball in baseball doesn't lead to the ability to score any runs.
