The Pyramid Play, made famous by the 1933 Oregon Agricultural College (now known as Oregon State University) football team, was an ingenious play despite being banned by the NCAA before the 1934 football season began. It was first used in a game against the University of Oregon during the annual Civil War game at Multnomah Stadium, now PGE Park.

6'7" center Clyde Devine was hoisted upon the shoulders of 6'2" tackles Harry Fields and Ade Schwammel. Atop their shoulders, Devine successfully blocked Oregon's kick.

Oregon State used the play against at least one other team during the 1933 football season.
