[Ads-l] Juke (Verb, Football) Not in OED

[Shapiro, Fred]

The verb "to juke" (to fake an opposing player out of position) is not in OED.  The earliest I find it in cursory research is the following:

1952 Miami Daily News 15 Nov. 10-B/1 (Newspapers.com)  The 165-pound parcel pounded through the 64-hole at left tackle ... juked the safety on his pants.
