The umpire stands behind the defensive line and looks for holding on the offensive line. In the NFL the umpire stands behind the offensive line opposite the referee and looks at the line for holding and other infractions.
While it cannot be said with 100% certainty that this was the first offensive formation, but the single wing formation is one of the earliest known offensive formations in football. It was originally developed by Glenn "Pop" Warner back in the early 1900's. It is the precursor of the modern day Spread Option offense. It was used as early as 1907, 13 years before the NFL was founded. The formation featured an strong side offensive line with four backs in the backfield. In football the traditional offensive line has a Tackle/Guard/Center/Guard/Tackle formation. In the Single Wing the line has a different set up. The line formation typically goes End/Guard/Center/Guard/Tackle/Tackle/End. In the backfield, you have 4 backs, the quarter back, who lines up behind the interior tackle on the strong side of the line, the full back, who lines up between the center/guard on the strong side one step behind the QB, the tailback, who lines up behind the center/guard on the weak side one step behind tailback, The split wing is positioned one step behind the line, just outside of the end on the strong side of the line.
The game of football is to score points by running the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by running with it or throwing it to a teammate. Teams must get the ball downfield 10 yards in 4 attempts called downs. Points can be scored by carrying the ball over the opponent's goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line or by kicking the ball through the opponent's goal posts or tackling an opposing ball carrier in his own end zone. American football is a sport played by two teams of 11 players. It is played on a field that is 120 yards long and has a goal on both ends. The offensive team has four downs to get the football 10 yards or more at a time. If that goal is not achieved, the offensive team loses possession of the ball and the defensive team becomes the offensive team. Players on the defensive team will attempt to tackle the offensive player with the ball in order to stop advancement of the ball or take possession of the ball. A team can score by making it to the end zone or by kicking a field goal. The team with the highest amount of points after four periods of play wins.
