Scanned, proofed and corrected from the original edition for your reading pleasure. (Worth every penny!) An excerpt from the beginning of the book's PREFACE:
This book is a digest of the Official Rules. The rules are gathered from all parts of the Official Rule Book and placed under a few general headings which are arranged in alphabetical order. Every heading covers all points, which may come under it. To find a point, one has simply to look at the "Contents" to find on what page the heading begins, and then to glance through the brief under that heading. It is meant for the use of Officials, to help them to refresh their memories before a game and to afford them a quick means of ascertaining a point during a game. It also gives a ready means of finding a rule in the Official Rule Book by the references to its pages in parentheses.
It should also be of great help to a player in studying the rules, but it is not meant for use by a novice at the game. Numerals in parentheses after the letter "P" refer to page of Official Rule Book. References with headings, such as "Off-side (2)," refer to heading and section in this book. Letters "P. J.", "R.", "U.", "L." in parentheses on right side of page designate the official in charge of Penalty ("Field Judge," "Referee," "Umpire," "Linesman"). "Offense" = Side which put ball in play. "Defense" = Side which did not put ball in play. "Point" = Distance to be gained. FAIR CATCH: (1) If ball caught by other than signaler; no Fair Catch and no run—Scrimmage. (p. 169) (F. J.) (2) If catcher takes more than two steps—PENALTY—Scrimmage; first down; five yards back. (P. 166 and Note 22) (F. J.) But after Punt-out—Kick-off. (No signal necessary on Punt-out.) (P. 150, 166)
(3) If ball touched by another of catcher's side after kicked—No Fair Catch. (P. 150)(4) Interference with opportunity to make Fair Catch. (Kicker's side must not get in way.) PENALTY—15 yards and Fair Catch. (Opportunity means—One man signals who could reach ball before it touches ground.) (P. 168, 150, 169 and Note 19) (F. J.) (5) Catcher not to be thrown afterwards—PENALTY—15 yards and Fair Catch. (P. 169) (F. J.)(6) After Fair Catch—Ball can be put in play by punt, drop or place-kick, or scrimmage. If by kick, must go 10 yards or is not in play. (See "Off-Side" (9) and (11).) (P. 164) (7) In Place Kick, holder of ball and kicker may be out of bounds, and holder off-side. (P. 163,177)
