Receiver Can’t Lose Ball on Kickoff If Kicking Team Recovers Pig- skin It Goes to Receivers Where Stopped BLOCKED KICKS ARE COSTLY | intricacies of what transpires on the ; Different Things When Man Receives the Ball “NEA Service Writer) Football fans will recall the rule in force last year that prohibited a team that had punted from recovering and lrunning with the ball if it was fumbled by the opposing safety man. As soon as the ball was fumbled it was free to be recovered by either side, but if the kicking side managed to reach it first, it was theirs but could not be advanced, This rule, which was written in order to encourage one of the pret- tiest plays in the game—the run-back of punts—is still in existence. How- ever, it has been amplified. A fumbled kick-off (in addition to the punt) can no longer be recovered and advanced by the team that made the Defense Takes It tain Sam Lemmond of the 1928 team; | yick, Bound for a touchdown was Harold Rose, Grinnell fullback (top picture), who bowled over four Marquette tack- In the center Jack Elder.
