...admitted to the Inter-collegiate Foot-Ball Association. Two slight changes were made in the rules. The opposing centre rush cannot touch the ball until it is put in motion. By the insertion of the words "or a place kick," rule 32 is made to read as follows: "A kick-out must be either a drop-kick, or a place-kick."
