The referee has also the power to disqualify for violation of the "unfair-tactics" rule; but referees were instructed to exercise "ordinary common sense,' and not make disqualification a mere means for judges to accomplish the withdrawal of a player whom they feared, not yet a meaningless term at which all would laugh and no one fear. The other changes are slight, rule 11 being filled up by pushing back 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. The ball is not put in play after a catch by two touching it; but if it touches...
