Tying a Knot for Footballs
A Secure Knot
One of the most prominent English football clubs kept the tying of this knot on the rubber hose of their football a secret and never allowed all of its members to know how it was tied. This tie can be used on grain sacks, and in numerous other like instances. Make one loop in the cord and then another exactly the same way, as shown in Fig. 1, placing the end of the cord under the first loop, then pulling at each end of the cord as in Fig. 2.
