Play is not to be exactly the sume as before. One of the new rules states that a +eam making w safety shall put the %all in play on its ard line and Xick on first down. The rule last vear provided that a team making ° safety kept the ball in its possession aud put it in play on the 30-yard line One of the reasons for selecting the 80-yard line was that spectators were enabled to identify a safety.

Under the rule "of 1925 the offense discovered a valuable strategic move of a team hard pressed late in th game had the ball in front of its ow goal line, it preferred making safety to advancing the ball by punt- fng. The punter would have to kick | from behind his own goal line and he would be fortunate if his opponents | did not wet possession of the ball in- moves a: L By moking a safety the offense team had the privilege of putting the | 2ull in play on its 80-yard line and the kicker then would be able to drive the ball past midfield. Teams in the | Yead often used this method to pro- te-t the lead. They handed their op- ponents two points, but two points < a mreat deal better than giviy them a «hance to score @ touchdown ~nd bea* you For years major elevens had been tought te use this play to protect a of from three to seven points the game, but it was not until Yist yaar that teams. took full ad- r.antage of the rule.
