Dead Ball Ruling Made to
Eliminate 'Crawling' and
'Piling Up' With Resultant
Danger of Serious Injury
Note: Because of wlde
tprtttd comment on the 1932 foot
ball rules, the Auoclated Preti
requested William S. Lane ford,
aecretarjr of the national foot
ball rules committee, to clarify
the principal chanres In the play
code, Following U the first of a
series of four explanatory articles
by Mr. Langford.)
By WIIMam (J. Lanyford.
(Secretary, National Football Rules
Committee.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 5. (P PUyers
and the football public generally ha,ve
always expected the man carrying the
ball to fight for every Inch of ground
that he can poelbly gain until the
ball becomes dead.
Under the former rule, when any
part of the player in possession of
the ball, except his hands or feet,
touched the ground, while he was In
the grasp of an opponent, the ball
became dead automatically and play
stopped.
Bend Ball Defined.
This year's rule reada as follows
"The ball la dead and shall be so
declared by the referee: (a) When
sv player having the ball goes out of
bounds, cries 'down,' or Is so held
that his forward progress Is stopped,
or (except the holder of the ball In
a place-kick) when any portion of
his person except his hands or feet
touches the ground.
The change made was In the ellnv
Inatlon of the words "while In the
grasp of an opponent,' and Its pur
pose was to do away with the dan
gers that came from "crawling and
"piling up."
This year, If the man with the ball
stumbles so that his knee touches
the ground, or If he Is bowled over
by an opponent, or if he falls on a
loose bill. It is Instantly dead.
Penalty for Crawling.
Although It Is the referee's duty to
announce that the ball Is dead by
blowing his whistle, any "crawling1
which occurs, even before the whistle
la blown. Is to be penalized by the
lose of five yards. "Crawling" Is de
fined as "an attempt by the player
In posnesslon of the ball to advance
the ball after he has been downed;
vis: when any portion of his person
except his hands or feet touches the
ground."
There doubtless will be cases of
"crawling," especially in the early
games, and this will Invite "pi II tig
on" by opponents. In such event a
foul will be committed by esch team,
and under the rules tha play will be
played over, unless the captain of
the team in- poaoesilon of the ball
declines the penalty for "plllng-on"
which he may wish to do If the gain
made by Ma team, previous to the
"crawling" Is a large one.
Can Pass Penalty.
. In other wordi, if his team has
made a gain of say, 30 yards and the
runner then crawls and opponents
pile on blm, It would be more to his
advantage to suffer the penalty of
five yards for "crawling" and decline
the penalty for the foul committed
by his opponents, as he would thus
make a net gain of 19 yards and a
first down. After a short time "crawl
ing" and "plllng-on" will entirely
disappear.
