RULES.
N.B. — Rules 33, 36, 37, 40-45, and the notes to Rules 32 and 37, are, of course, intended solely for Rugbeians.
1.—Kick off from Middle must be a place-kick.
2.—Kick out must not be from more than twenty-five yards out of goal.
3.—Fair Catch is a catch direct from the foot, or a knock on from the hand of the opposite side.
4.—Charging is fair, in case of a place-kick, as soon as a ball has touched the ground; in case of a kick from a catch, as soon as the player offers to kick, but he may always draw back, unless he has actually touched the ball with his foot.
