tory of the defense a greater distance
than ten Yards 90 That a fumbled ball
on running play. when recovered. shall
not be advanced beyond the point Of
recovery, the possession of the ball be
ing deemed sufficient reward for dil-
gence. Exception. that If a ball is
fumbled by a man endeavoring to ad-
vance it. he alone may recover it and
