the ball was snapped to one of the
runners just before the wedge crossed

Changes in the rule in 1894 pre-.
vented the use OF the flying wedge
while additional changes in the rules
in 1895 required the presence OF five
men on the line Of scrimmage, with
the provision that one man might be
in motion backward toward his own
goal line. This change in the rule was
followed by the famous guards back
