If the snapper-back makes motion as if to snap the ball, whether he with holds it or not, the ball Is regarded as in play and the scrimmage begins. If any other player of the side in possession of the ball makes an attempt by a false start to draw the opponents off side, and the ball is then snapped, 1t shall be brought back and not be regarded as in play or the scrimmage commenced
 Legislation has also been directed at any players who are out of bounds at the time when the bah is out of play. and rule has been made that no player shall be out of bounds at the time when the ball is put in play, except the man who Is holding the ball for a place-klck
 Instruction is given to the referee to blow his whistle immediately when the forward progress of the ball has been stopped. This has been done in order to
