Bring Ball in When Out of Bounds.

If a ball goes out of bounds, whether it bounds back or not, a player of the side which secures it must bring it to the spot where the ball crossed the side line, and then after declaring how far he intends walking, walk out with it, in company with the referee, at right angles to the side line, any distance not less than 5 nor more than 15 yards, and at a point, indicated by the referee, put it down for a scrimmage.

Ten Yards in Three Downs.

If in three consecutive downs (unless the ball shall have crossed the goal line), a team, having constantly had the ball in its possession, shall not have advanced the ball 10 yards, it shall go to the opponents on the spot of the fourth down. In measuring, the forward point of the ball, not its centre, in its position when declared dead, shall be taken as the determining point. Nor shall the referee rotate the ball before measuring its forward point.

A forward pass, as specified elsewhere in the rules as allowable, may be received by either of the two players occupying the positions on the ends of the line, or by any one of the players who was behind the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play without violating the rule which places restrictions on players when off-side.

When the ball has been kicked by a player other than the snapperback, any player of the kicking side shall be onside as soon as the ball touches the ground. In case a kicked ball goes over the goal line on the fly or after striking the ground before being touched by a player of either side, the referee shall declare a touchback. Exceptions.-(1) A place kick or drop kick passing over the cross-bar shall score as heretofore. (2) A player may run in a kick-off that crosses the goal line if he so desires. In case a kicked ball strikes the ground in the field of play, thus putting the kicker's side on-side, it may not be kicked further or be kicked at from its position on the ground or while bounding. Penalty.-Loss of 15 yards. In case a kick is returned before a scrimmage intervenes, the players of the side that returns the kick may not recover the ball until it has been touched by one of the side that first kicked it.

Forward Pass.

A player may throw, pass or bat the ball in any direction except towards his opponents' goal. Exceptions.-(1) One forward pass shall be allowed to each scrimmage, provided such pass be made by a player who was behind the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play, and provided the ball, after being passed forward, does not touch the ground before being touched by a player of either side. If the ball touches the ground in such a case, it shall go to the opponents on the spot where the pass was made. (2) The pass may not be received by a man who was on the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play-except by the two men playing on the ends of the line. (3) A forward pass over the line of scrimmage within the space of 5 yards on each side of the centre shall be unlawful. The penalty for exceptions (2) and (3) is the same as for (1). (4) A forward pass by the side which does not put the ball in play in a scrimmage shall also be unlawful. (5) A forward pass which goes over the goal line on the fly or bound without touching a player of either side shall be a touchback for the defenders of the goal.

In kicking a goal from a touchdown the kicker may touch or adjust the ball in the hands of the holder, so long as the ball does not touch the ground.

The penalty for coaching from the side lines shall be 15 yards.

Foul Play.

There shall be no striking with the fist or elbows, kneeing, kicking, meeting with the knee or striking with the locked hands by the line men, when they are breaking through; nor shall a player on defense strike in the face with the heel of the hand the opponent who is carrying the ball. Penalty.-Disqualification and the loss by the offending team of half the distance to its own goal line.

The committee further recommends that a player who is twice disqualified in the same season for the above offenses, or for a deliberate attempt to injure an opponent shall not be permitted by the authorities of his institution to play again within one year from the date of the second disqualification.

Unnecessary Roughness.

There shall be no piling up on the player after the referee has declared the ball dead, tripping, tackling the runner when clearly out of bounds, or any other acts of unnecessary roughness. Penalty.-Loss of 15 yards.
