Where did the Football term HUT originate?
"Hut" comes from the word "hike." Hike is a verb meaning "to pull up or lift" something or "to raise [something] with a jerk." It refers to the act by the center of putting the ball into play by moving it quickly up off the ground and through his legs, either handing it directly to the quarterback or passing it to the quarterback (or some other player) who is some distance behind the line of scrimmage. The center "hikes" the ball to put it into play. Originally, the offensive team would line up and then a member of the offensive team would shout "Hike!" to signal the center to hike the ball and start the play. It very soon became obvious that the signal "Hike!" was a signal that was of equal benefit to the defensive team. Therefore, the offensive team member shouted "Hike!" several times. In the huddle the offensive players were told which "hike" was the "active" one, the one that started the play. Over the years, the word evolved, through a series of snorts and grunts, to become "Hut!" The word hut is just an easier and shorter word to say than hike. The word "snap" is a synonym for hike. The center snaps (or hikes) the ball. Originally, the position of the center was called the "snap." The other linemen were originally referred to as the "wing line." The names of those positions were "inside wing" (guard), "middle wing" (tackle), and "outside wing" (end). A backfielder who lined up outside an end was called a "flying wing."

Should there be a comma or a period between 'break the shoes in thoroughly on short walks before going on any extended hike'?
