portant, it would be the quarter
back. He masterminds the team’s
plays, which are decided in the
huddle. The quarterback tells
what play is to be used because
each has a certain duty to per
form each time.
The field on which the game
is played is 110 yards long and
65 yards wide. It is divided by
10-yard stripes across the field.
There are goal posts at each end
10 feet high to the cross bar.
After each major score or touch
down an extra point may be ob
tained if the ball can be kicked
through the uprights. It also
must be noted that a touchdown
occurs when a player of one
team crosses the goal line of the
opposite team with the ball. This
gives the team five points and,
if the convert is good, one more.

For people first observing
football, the system of downs is
likely the most perplexing. Kick
off takes place, the team in pos
session of the ball has its op
portunity to gain yardage,
three downs or attempts the
team must amass the total of 10
yards from the line of scrimage.
If, however, they fail to accom
plish this, the other team gains
possession of the ball and it has
three downs to make 10 yards.
If a pass is incomplete, the 'ball

The last quarter opened with

scrimmage. Also if a team gains
more than 10 yards the new
line of scrimmage is the point
where the ball went dead.
Each game is divided into four
periods 15 minutes long. There
are many minor rules which can
not be dealt with in such an
abreviated space. Frequent penal
ties are called for such things
as rough play and clipping. The
players in possession of the ball
may not use their hands to re
move defenders from the ■play.

points concerning football,

more enjoyable to watch.
