T Kick;nr an N oppcnrnt does not reauirc
much explanation. The player who
does it deliberately knows what he is
doing. 1t sometimes happens ~ Iticu-
larly with unskilled players, '. in
making wild kick the ball Is missed
and the opponent who happens to be
within range gets the full benefit. Wild
kicking is bad for the reason that in
missing the ball it is possible TO strain
the muscles severely as well as to injure
an opponent. 1t should be suppressed
in any event.
Striking is another Ofensc which
needs little explanation. 1t is usually
Intentional and is the result of the
player losing control of himself in his
resentment at an opponent who fire.
L not only means penalty kick, but,
as n rule, means the player being sent
of the field and maybe suspended. :.
Jumping at an opponent Is dehnlte
when player lifts both feet OIL the
ground in his effort to charge or plock
an opponent. Hence the rule IN 'hurg-
ing to always have one foOt on thS
punishment as violent or dangerous
charging. It Is invariably deliperate
and should be severely punished.

The unskillful player is usually quite
wrathful when the ball hits his hand,
for he gets no advantage from II as
rule. and, on the contrary, usually mas
his play spoiled. An instance OF %here
