It was also determined that all penalties for fouls, except penalties under forward pass, may be declined by the offended side. This, however, in cases where the penalty includes disqualification, does not save the player from being put out of the game. • The penalty for batting the ball forward is made loss of ball to the offended side, and the ruling placed under the jurisdiction of the Umpire and Field Judge. The Field Judge is also made time-keeper. The score of a forfeited game is made 1—0, in order to distinguish it from any other possible scores. The rule regarding forward pass is altered in the following manner: When the forward pass is legally touched, only the man of the passer's side who thus first legally touched it shall be entitled to recover the ball until it has been touched by an opponent. Also, if a forward pass is thus legally touched, fumbled, and touched by another player of the passer's side before the ball has touched an opponent, the ball shall go to the oppo- nents on the side where it was first illegally touched. While the ball is in the air for a forward pass, players of the defensive side may not use their hands or arms on opponents, except to push them out of the way in order to get the ball themselves. Players of the side making the pass, who are eligible to receive the pass, may use the hands and arms as in case of players going down the field under a kick. Neither side may, however, ** hold " or " tackle " an opponent who has not the baii. Finally, in case a forward pass is illegally touched outside of these pro- visions named above, the penalty shall be that the ball will go to the oppo- nents at the spot from which the pass was made. The Committee strongly advises the use of all four officials as pro- vided for. Time is to be taken out during enforcement of penalty for incompleted forward pass. The ten minute intermission has been increased to fifteen, the Referee to notify the teams three minutes before its expiration. Five minutes after this notification, if either team has failed to appear, the ball shall be put in play as first down by the offended side on the offending side's thirty-yard line. If a ball on a forward pass or a kicked ball, except try-at-goal, strike the uprights or cross-bars, the ball shall be considered as having crossed the goal line. In case of the ball accidentally striking an ofiicial, the play shall be played over again. The other alterations are practically only changes in the wording.

Notes The notes in former editions were sometimes of equal rank and force with the rules, in which case they have been made rules in this edition, and in other cases they were interpretations of the rules, recommendations or mere suggestions as to the arrange- ment of the field or the conduct of the game, in which cases they are given here. Notel. Rule 1. -Marking Out of Field. The intersecting 5-yard lines, used for convenience in measuring distances, need generally be marked out only at their points on intersection. The Referee, previous to the beginning of play, should satisfy himself that the various lines are properly marked. Note 2. Measuring Progress of Ball. To assist in measuring the progress of the ball it is de- sirable to provide two light poles about six feet in length, connected at their lower ends by a stout cord or chain lo yards in length. Note 3. Timing and Signals of Officials. It is desirable to have a stop-watch for the Field Judge, a whistle for the Referee and a horn or bell of some kind for the Umpire and Field Judg£, in order to distinguish their calls from that of the Referee. Note 4. Rule VI., Section 3— Two Lines of Scrimmage. It is evident from the definition that there must be two lines of scrimmage, one for each side, thus separating the two forward lines by a space equal to the length of the ball. Note 5. Rule XV.-Who May Put the Ball in Play. Any player of the side that is entitled to a free-kick may put the ball in play. Note 6. Rule VIII., Section 1-Object of Restrictions on Position of Players on Scrimmage Line. Rule VIII., Section i, is intended to prevent any player required to be on the line of scrimmage from taking a posi- tion at such an angle to the line of scrimmage, whether he SPALDING'S OFFICIAL FOOT BALL GUIDE. 245 faces in toward the center or away from it, as shall enable him the more rapidly to get into the interference. Note 7, Rule VIIL, Section 3-Shiftmg of Middle Men. The playing of a so-called center, guard or tackle on de- fense as an end or back on ofTense, or any other shifting of men in attempted evasion of Rule VI 11., Section 3, is con- strued to be within the prohibition. If a captain desires to shift the center, guard or tackle into the back-field, he may do so on speaking to the Referee. But the player so shifted shall not again return to one of these middle line positions. Note 8. Rule XX., Section 5— Roughing the Full-Back. As by virtue of the prohibition of Rule XX., Section 5, the kicker can neither put players on-side nor himself get the ball, there is no excuse for running into or otherwise roughly treating him, and consequently officials should punish such ofTenses by disqualification, as provided in Rule XXIV. ^ Section 2. Notes. Rule VI., Section 14; Rule XXIV., Section 5 -Diving Under a Play. Mere diving under a play is construed as not being within the definition or prohibition of tripping. Note 10. Rule VI., Section 15; Rule XXIV., Section 4-Step- ping over a player. Mere stepping over a prostrate player, though the player so doing may have momentarily both feet in the air at the same time, is construed as not being within the definition or prohibition of hurdling. Note 11. Rule XIII., Section 5. The penalty undei Rule XIII., Section 5, is to be enforced, though it results in placing the offending side behind its own goal line. A second offense behind the goal line is to be penalized exactly as if it had occurred mside the field of play. Note 12. No Play After Ball Dead. It is obvious that when the ball is dead no play can be made until the ball has again been put into play according to rule. 246 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL FOOT BALL GUIDE. Note 13. Rule XXV., Section I— Side Line Coaching. The Rules Committee especially requests the captains and coaches to use every means to discourage and prevent side line coaching. Note 14. Rule XXIV., Sections 1 and 2— Suspension from Playing Privilege by Institution on Two Disqualifications. The Rules Committee recommends that any player who is twice disqualified in the same season for any violation of Rule XXIV., Sections i and 2, or for a deliberate attempt to injure an opponent shall not be permitted to play again within one year from the date of the second disqualification. Note 15. Rule XV., Sections 7 and 8. Kicking the ball again in case it goes out of bounds at kick-ofif or on a kick-out is not a penalty, and therefore may not be declined. Note 16. Rule XXIX., Section 5. Captains and players may not, however, appeal to Referee, Field Judge or Linesman for their testimony on points in- volving disqualification. Note 17. Rule XII. In case of a place-kick the kicker may touch or adjust the ball in the hands of the holder so long as the ball does not touch the ground. Note 18. Rule XX., Section 4. It should be noted that the rule reads : "Players of the side which put the ball in play." Hence when a kicked ball is returned by a kick the players of the side which returned it are not put on-side by the ball striking the ground. Note 19. Rule XVII., Section 4. Opponents must bear in mind that a player running toward a fly ball has the right of way, and if off-side they must get out of his way. Otherwise they will interfere with him in his opportunity for making a fair catch.

Officials' List American Intercollegiate Foot Ball Rules Committee, 1908 (Subject to Additions and Corrections.) It is difficult for the Central Board to attempt to publish any complete list of satisfactory field officials, but in order to put the results of their work in more concrete form and preserve these data for convenience of managers, have pre- pared the enclosed partial list of men who have proved most serviceable to the sectional committees in the East and West. It is hoped this will be of per- manent value and simplify future arrangements. We take great pleasure in extending this to those whom it may aid. (Signed) CENTRAL BOARD ON OFFICIALS- L. M. Dennis, J. B. Fine, Walter Camp, Jas. A. Babbitt, Chairman. C. W. Savage, Haverford, Pa. . . C. Linn Seiler, Secretary. SUGGESTIONS FROM THE CENTRAL BOARD. The Central Board on Officials would suggest the following plan for its work in the future : (1) That the Central Board should be appointed by the Rules Committee whose function, (a) should be advisory, rendering assistance as indicated, (b) to assist by published interpretations of the foot ball rules, (c) to maintain a certain con- trol over sectional boards in the management of executive details, (d) to publish lists of accredited officials, (e) to offer recommendations for the conduct of these officials, (f ) to arrange meetings for interpretation, (g) when advisable arrange conferences tending to the formation of sectional boards. (2) While the Central Board will take no arbitrary action as to the appoint- ment of sectional committees, it recommends that such representative confer- ences be called in various sections of the country, and by these when unanimously desired, sectional boards of control be appointed. As before sir. ted, the Central Board does not assume jurisdiction over the sectional committees, but on the basis of the past year's experience suggests the following method of pro- cedure :— (1) That official lists of officials be prepared and issued, (2) that these official lists be sent to managers with requests for suggestion, (3) that managers in conference with the committee select officials for important games, (4) that question of fees be considered, (5) that after consultation with the managers the officials for minor games be selected by sectional committees, (6) that full lists of officials be published as scheduled in September of each year, (7) that in case of later refusals to accept such officials, institutions at first accepting the lists shall reimburse the latter with customary fees, (8) that all the above steps be taken in full co-operation with foot ball managers and college representatives.

What a Foot Ball Player Needs As the action of the game centers around the ball, it is necessary that the latter should be of perfect construction, of finest material and well put together ; such is the Spalding Official Rugby Foot Ball No. J5 — the only official foot ball. It is used in every important match, because the players know that it is absolutely dependable and its record of nearly a quarter of a century of use in all the prominent games without the bursting of a single ball is the best evidence of the care 'that is taken in the Spalding factory to see that each ball lives up to the guarantee of the Spalding trade mark. The price of the Spalding Official Rugby Foot Ball, No. J5, is $5.00, an inflater, lacing needle and rawhide lace being packed with each ball. It is guaranteed absolutely if the seal on the box in which it has been packed has not been broken. The next best ball to the No. J 5 is the Spalding "Rugby Special," which is made of specially tanned imported grain leather and is undoubtedly superior to many of the imi- tations of the Official No. J5. Each ball is put up in a sealed box, with guaranteed bladder and rawhide lace. The price of the Spalding "Rugby Special" No. A, is $3.50. Six other balls compx'ise the Spald- ing line, each the best value for the money that an experience of thirty years knows how to produce and they range in price from $3.00 down to $1.00. FOOT BALL CLOTHING. Speed is now the first requisite of a team and the old moleskin trousers are being suc- ceeded by the lighter canvas style. A pair of the latter, made of extra quality brown canvas, soft finish, well padded, and with cane strips at the thighs, costs $1.75 ; other good qualities cost $1.50. $1.00, and 75 cents. For those who pre- fer the moleskin, however, Spaldings use a ma- terial that is manufactured for foot ball pur- poses exclusively and padded with curled hair and with cane strips at the thighs. These cost $5.00 per pair. Jerseys have largely superseded the canvas jackets for foot ball, but the latter are still made for those who prefer to use them. They cost 40 cents, 50 cents and 75 cents, according to quality, in sleeveless style. The canvas jacket is often used in a combination suit — known as the Spalding Union 'Varsity Suit — the jacket and trousers being connected by a broad elastic belt. The suit conforms to each movement of the wearer's body, and makes an ideal outfit in every way. It costs $5.00. Jacket, trousers and belt may also be bought separately, the jacket costing $1.25 or $1.50, according to whether reinforced or not; the trousers, $2.50 and the belt $1.50. Although the roughness of the game has been practically eliminated by the new rules, still shin pads and shoulder guards are sometimes needed. Shin guards cost $2.00, $1.50. $1.00, 50 cents and 40 cents per pair, and shoulder and elbow cnards cost 25 and 50 cents each. An improved style costs $1.00 and a still better one — invented by Glenn S. Warner, of Cornell, $2.50 each. Mr. Warner is also responsible for a combined Ieg> k^-^e and shin guard, which costs $5.00 each. SPALDING'S OFFICIAL FOOT BALL GUIDE. The old style head harnesses that used to be so hard and heavy have now been retiied in favor of lighter and more pliable models. Spalding has produced a new one this year that gives complete protection and yet is almost as light as a feather on the head. The very best kind made costs $5.00, and very good ones may be had for $3.00, $2.50, $2.00 and $1.00 each. As before noted, jerseys are superseding the old style canvas jackets. The very best Spalding jersey made costs $4.00. It is fashioned or knit to exact shape on a machine and then put together by hand, an altogether different process from that usually followed in the manu- facture of jerseys, the latter process consisting of cutting them out of a piece of material and then sewing them together. Other good Spald- ing Jerseys can be obtained for $3.00, $2.50, $2.00, $1.25 and $1.00. Spalding sweaters have been long and favorably known in the ath- letic world, their No. AA sweater being the heaviest sweater made and is controlled exclusively by them. It costs $8.00 each. Other good sweaters, in the same grade, but not so heavy, cost $5.00 and $6.00 each. Spalding Foot Ball Shoes are recognized as standard by foot ball players everywhere. They are made by shoemakers who do nothing else but make athletic shoes from year end to year end, and who become thoroughly familiar with the various details of what is needed by the athlete, who is necessarily more particular with his requirements for an athletic event — on which so much depends— than he' might be with his ordinary everyday footwear. The very best Spalding shoe costs $7.50. and is exclusively bench made, while excellent and serviceable foot ball shoes at a lower price are the Spalding 'Varsity at $5.00 per pair ; the Club Special at $5.00 and the Ama- teur Special at $3.50. The 'Varsity is equipped with the Spalding Foot Ball Ankle Brace, which was designed by the famous Mike Mur- phy, the celebrated trainer of the University of Pennsylvania. It ab- solutely prevents turning of the ankle and affords almost absolute protection against the spraining of ankles and at the same time does not slow up the player. When bought separately they cost 50 cents per pair. Space does not permit a complete enumeration of all the articles in. which a foot ball player may be interested, but the complete line, with pictures and prices can be found in the Spalding catalogue, which will be sent free anywhere upon request by addressing any Spalding house — of which there are twenty scattered throughout the United States and Canada, a list of which will be found on the inside cover of this book.

WARIVER the famous Coach advances a splendid idea for Foot Ball Instruction and Training The new foot ball rules have so radically- changed the game that all writings or books on the subject are practically of no use. Old players who have not played the game within the past year or two, and who have heretofore been a great help in spreading a practical knowl- edge of the game, have also been put out of date. Therefore, while the new rules have made the game more complex and scientific, and the nee d of expert coaching greater, the difficulty of se- curing proper coaching has also been increased. In order to meet the needs of this situation, supply expert instruction and raise the standaid of foot ball, a plan has been devised whereby such coaching is placed within the reach of every coach, player and team in the country, no matter how limited their resources. The originator of this plan is Glenn S. Warner, who has acted as Head Coach of prominent foot ball teams for the past thirteen years, and whose coachirg and training enabled the Carlisle Indians to make such a remarkable record last year, -and to be given credit for playing the most scientific and up-to-date game of any team since the adoption of the new rules. Mr. Warner has for many years been most successful in teaching the open game, and there is no one in the field to- <3ay who is better qualified to carry out this plan than he. Mr. Warner's plan is to coach foot ball players and teams by mail. An exhaust- ive sei-ies of letters or pamphlets will be mailed to subscribers covering, in a thorough, scientific, yet simple manner, every department of the game. These letters will be profusely illustrated by snap-shots of the stars of the Indian team in action, and will be of inestimable value, not only to the smaller teams, but to coaches and team^s of the highest class. Among the subjects treated will be the following, on each of which pamphlets or letters will be supplied ; GROUP ONE How playei's should be outfitted ; How to train ; How to avoid, treat and pro- tect injuries ; Tackling ; Falling on the ball ; Blocking and interfering ; Punt- ing ; Drop-kicking; Place and goal-kicking ; Forward passing ; Catching punta.. ^nd passes ; Separate pamphlet on how to play each position on the team. GROUP TWO How to make and use all kinds of tackling and charging machines ; Different -plans and methods of teaching rudiments ; Preliminary practice ; A daily pro- gram of a week's work : Generalship ; Defense for all kinds of formations ; Sys- tems of signals ; Offense— consisting of a full repertoire of the best plays, plainly diagrammed, which were used by the Indians and the best teams of the East last year, and other new plays as fast as they are developed and used successfully. The course for individuals will consist of an exhaustive letter on how to play their positions, together with the pamphlets or letters in Group One. The price for this course for individuals will be Five Dollars. The course for coaches, captains and teams will include everything, and the price will be Ten Dollars. Both courses will start about September 15th, or later, to suit subscribers. Send subscription, or write for further particulars to GLENN S.

THE SPALDING OFFICIAL NATIONAL LEAGUE BALL was first adopted by the National League in 1878, and is the only ball that has been used in Championship League Games since, that time. In the recent great World's Championship Games in Chicago between the Chicago Nationals and the Detroit Ameri- cans the Spalding Official National League Ball was used. IN ADDITION to the different American adoptions, the Spalding Official National League Ball has been made the official ball by the governing Base Ball Associations of Mexico, Cuba, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Great Britain, Philippine Islands, Japan, and, in fact, wherever Base Ball is played. The Spalding Official National League Ball has received this universal adoption because of its well established reputation for uniformity and high quality, but the special object of such adoptions, from the players' stand- point, is to secure absolute uniformity in a ball, that will prevent unfair "jockeying" with an unknown ball, ^nd make National and International BaseBall contests possible, and at the same time make the records of players of value, and uniform throughout the world, which can only be secured by standardizing one well known ball.
