“ Charging is lawful for the opposite side immediately the ball touches or is placed on the ground, if any one but the player who places the ball touch it before it be kicked, and if the placer brings it out between the goal-posts. If the ball has been touched down between the goal posts, the "place" must be in a line with one of them, and not between them.
20. Four goals win a match, four touch-downs count as one goal, and when a goal has been kicked off a touch-down the goal alone counts. And no touch-down shall count unless the "place-kick" be tried. ”

“ Umpires in House Matches are to interfere whenever they please, without being appealed to.
27. No one wearing projecting nails, iron spikes, or gutta percha on the sole or heel of his foot is allowed to play. ”
