Summary

The Laws of the Eton Field Game

Hands may only be used to stop the ball, or to touch it when behind. The ball may not be caught, carried, thrown, nor struck by the hand.
17. No player may hit with the hands or arms, or use them in any way to push or hold one of the opposite party.
18. No player may kick the ball behind the goal-sticks of his own party. Should this be done, and one of the opposite party touch the ball, a "rouge" is obtained.
19. A player is considered to be "sneaking" when only three, or less than three, of the opposite side are before him, and the ball behind him, and in such a case he may not kick the ball.
