Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Official National Collegiate Athletic Association Football Guide: The Official Rules Book and Record Book of College Football It may seem encroaching on space that might be otherwise better filled, to devote the introductory chapter this year to some of those points which have been stumbling-blocks to men entering upon a foot-ball career. But it has been suggested that there are so many newly formed teams and inexperienced players that a few words of explanation upon such points would be of interest and value, and old players will therefore pardon what may appear trite in the next few pages. A beginner in foot-ball should do two things. He should read the rules and he should, if possible, watch the practice. If the latter be impossible he and his mates must, after having read the rules, start in and, with eleven men on a side, play according to their own interpretation of these rules. When differences of opinion arise as to the meaning of any rule, a letter addressed to some one of the players upon prominent teams will almost always elicit a ready and satisfactory answer. The first thing to be done in starting the practice, is to provide regarding the accessories of the game, which in foot-ball are of the simplest kind. The field should be marked out with ordinary lime-lines, enclosing a space 330 feet long and 160 feet wide.
