in calculating which side leads.
The game can be played on field
from 100 to 200 yards long by so to
100 wide The goal posts are feet high
and distant from one another feet,
with a cross bar on top. The game be-
gins by kick from the centre Of the
field in the direction Of the opposite goal
line. The time Of play is usually two
halves of As minutes, but this can be
changed to 80 or even 20 minutes at
will. Lines are drawn on each side of
the field, and when the bali passes over
these it is said to be Sin touch and

side which did not put it Sin touch

throws the bali In cannot play it until

The referee decides all questions which

He has the power to award free
