ReviSiOnS Prohibits Rough
Tactics in This Years
Football

With great majority of the big
college and high school elevens set
tling down to hard work the new foot
ball rules are beginning to be under
stood in much better way. Both
players and spectators we're at first
ignorant of many things made possi-
BILE by the changes, but now that
games have been played and witness
ed, the more open style of play, has
been adjudged commendable.
Wilmingtonians have been able to
see only a few games between Or
ange. Friends and the High School
elevens.
So that those not thoroughly IA
miliar with the changes may properly
understand them the following has
been arranged showing some of the
most important revisions
player attempting to block or
tackle a runner by resting on one
knee may be hurled by the runner
without penalty.
The runner with the ball may put
his hand upon an associate, but he
may not be pulled forward by his as
sociate.
The penalty for Illegally recovering
Q kicked ball by a player off side is

the ball may not run into his oppo-
nents. Every forward pass, whether
crossing the scrimmage line or not,
must be played from a line at least
five yards behind the line OF scrim-
mage
A player disqualified for cause may
not be returned to the game.
The penalty for a player leaving
the field during one of the three min
ute intermissions to be the same as
coaching from the side line.
If a snapper-back does not hold
long axis Of the ball as specified, ball
must be put in play over again.
If the ball strikes an official, wheth-
er in hands of a player or not, it must
be played over again.
If player extends arms while ad-
vancing the ball after it has been de-
clared dead, 1t is crawling"
Snapper-back may assume any po-
sition in putting ball in play so long
as he is not off-side.

another must take his place on line
of scrimmage as seven men must be
on this line when the ball is put in

An associate of man with the ball
may not lift the fallen runner to his

In the second quarter Mcclure took
a forward pass and got away for a

Delaware braced in the third quar-

their own line and tackled for a

Delaware scored again. In the
