the pigskin. The forward pass will.
therefore, probably not be used so
extensively this season.
While the ball Is in the air for for
ward pass, players on the defensive
side may not use their arms or hands
on opponents except to push them out
of the way in order to get the BAH
themselves. Players of the side making
the pass who are ineligible to receive
the pass may use their hands and
arms as in the case of players going
down the field under kick.
Neither side may, however. "hold"
or tackle" an opponent who has not
the ball. If the ball is illegally
touched outside of these provisions
the penalty provides that the ball will
go to the opponents on the spot where
the pass was made.
Time will be taken out during the
enforcement of penalty for incompleted
pass. If a ball on a forward pass or
kick strikes the goal posts the ball
shall be considered as having crossed
the goal line.
In case the ball accidentally strikes
an official the play will be started over
again. A change which appears to be
somewhat uncalled for Is the lengthen
ing of the intermission between halves
from ten minutes to Is minutes The
referee must notify the teams three
minutes before it's expiration.
Five minutes after this notification
if either team has failed to appear the
ball shall be put in play as first down
by the offended side on the offend
ing sides thirty yard line.
In order to render the rules and
penalties more consistent the rules
which govern the conduct Of players
and persons not in the game who
sometimes cause fouls are made to
read: Loss of Is yards, point 20 be
gained and number of downs to remain
unchanged Penalties for fouls may
be refused by the offended side ex
cept penalties under the forward pass
This. however, in cases where the
penalty includes disqualification, does
not save the player from being put
out of the game If a player bats the
ball forward his side loses the pigskin
This comes under the jurisdiction OF
the umpire and field judge. The field
judge also is the tmekeeper in place
Of the head linesman The score Of a
forfeited game shall be / to 0. This
distinguishes it from all other possible
scores
