can be no objection to this team at
tempting a punt at this point. one
that is kicked we'll off to the side OF
the field, even though it carries out
of bounds around the 20-yard line.
The score indicates that you have
been able to hold off the opposition.
Let them have the ball on your ~
ward line, for you can probably check
their attack and gain the ball again
on downs or by reason Of touchback
from an incomplete forward pass
striking in your end zone.
The point about this situation is to
remember that you are well In the
lead, and it is better to take no
chances on the other team gaining
points by trying to kick through the
goal posts. Kick to one side and
make the opposition earn its score, II
it is to be made. AS your defense has
proved strong enough to stand them
Off, rely on it to pull you out OF the

O. On the new Interpretation OF try
for-point after touchdown. what Is
the ruling II team rushes the oaii.
halfback carrying same on end rum II
halfback fumbled it and he or one or
his side pick it up and score toucn-
down? Is point allowed?
A. Rule 10 states that . team may
add an additional point to it's score
after a touchdown by putting the ball
into play by a ncrimmage mt any poiht
outside Of the S-yard line. and. by
executing In q single play k,ck'
forward pass or ruxh-that Will SCOTT
a touchdown. Under this rule 1t would
appear. as II ball fumbled IN s tne
course Of n play would mot have any
bearing ON the case. 1t would be one
continuous play. Therefore, In my
opinion, 1T would count a point.
@. Defensive team, on try-for point
after touchdown, charges offside, put
gets back into position before oali IS
snapped. Is point given for foul on
basis that defense encroached on neu-
trail zone?
A, II defensive players were en-
croachinE ON neutral zone. the point
should be allowed. Any foul commit

o. Team took time out" fourth

tute to field to replace an injured
player. Soon as substitution was
made, referee claimed play would
have to start. Captain OF team wniGa i1
made substitution claimed he could
take time out for two minutes. Who
was right?
A. The referee is right. Rule IA,
section 2. states that tine may be
taken out three times during q half
atty Of yards must be inflicted for
each additional time out, unless q sub
stitution is made. The moment your
substitute reported he was in the

Q. A man playing tackle Is brought

but referee claimed that as this back
