In 1911, a score was worth five points, the field was 110 yards long, and a team had three downs to move the ball ten yards. A touchdown is when you kick the ball through the uprights of the opposing team's goal post for a point-blank range shot at their own goal post. This would be done by either kicking or passing the ball straight down the middle of the field. If the player attempting the touchdown missed, then he could also score by kicking the ball out of bounds. He would need to do this before the opposition could return the ball. The score of a touchdown depends on where it is scored from. If it is kicked off directly into the arms of an opponent who returns it inside the 10-yard line, then they get the point after touchdown. If it is caught by one of their players, they get another chance to score. If they do, then they go back to taking a free kick. If the player misses again, then they have earned a safety for their effort.
