The rules contained the proviso
that the ball must be touched by
three men before it was legally in
play. This appertnly prevented
direct passing.

of the center, coaching him to
make the pass direct to the kicker,
and this played just licked the
ball as it was passed.
This saved time, and worked
so well that general demand
from the west, for the removal of
the subterfuge, resulted in the
rules being changed to legalize
the direct pass.
