Explanation:
This clue is a direct reference to another answer in the puzzle, specifically 7-Across, which is "FOOTBALL." The phrase "See 7-Across" means you don’t solve this clue independently—instead, you look at the answer already filled in at 7-Across and copy it here. It’s a common crossword technique to link answers and save space, especially when the same word fits multiple clues. No wordplay or hidden meaning; it’s just pointing you to the solution elsewhere in the grid.
