this act was styled dribbling, partly to dis
criminate between the games and partly in
derision.
The field on which Association football
Is played should be twice as long as it i,
wide. The maximum size is 200 yards by
100, and the minimum 100 by so. The
goals are in the center of the end lines,
and are marked by two upright posts
placed eight yards apart, with n crossbar
eight feet from the ground. A flag marks
each corner of the field, and the side lines
are known as touch lines" The ball is
perfectly round and is about twenty-eight
inches in circumference. The game is
played by two teams made up of eleven
players each. They are divided into full
backs. half backs, forwards and goal
The ball is placed in the center of the
field, and to score q point it must be kicked
between the goal posts and beneath the
crossbar. The game is started by the side
which wins the toss putting the ball in
play. The forwards are in the center of
the field, and the players of the opposite
side are not allowed to approach within
ten yards of the ball until it is kicked off
The players may not pass beyond the
center of the field toward their opponents
goal until the ball has been put in play
The man who places the ball in play can
not kick it again until it has been used by
some other player. If the ball is sent
through the goal on the kick off, it does
not count.
If the ball passes out of bounds by cross
ing the side lines it is in touch" and is re-
turned to play by a man on the opposite
side from that which kicked the ball out
The man who throws the ball in cannot
touch it again until it has been used by
somebody else If the ball is kicked oven
the end line it is also out of play. If the
ball goes over ON opponents goal line n
player on the opposite side kicks it into the
field from q position within six yards Of
the nearest goal post. II player drives
the ball over his own goal line man OH
tho other side places it in play, and lie
kicks from the corner of the field within
one yard of the corner flag. If foul play
is made the opposite side is given free
kick, but goal scored from this does not
count. The game is played in two halves
of forty-five minutes each.
There are five forwards on each side, and
they are known as right, left, wings and
center. The forwards are the skirmisherS
in the battle. The wing players are
slightly in advance on the center. They
are the men who are continually striving
to reach the opposite goal. The center is
the general of the field, and even if all of
the other men in the team are crack play.
