“ When a player has kicked the ball, any one of the same side who is nearer to the opponent's goal line is out of play, and may not touch the ball himself, nor in any way whatsoever prevent any other player from doing so. ”

“ A free kick may be taken in any manner the player may choose.
12. A goal is obtained when the ball goes out of the ground by passing between the poles, on in such a manner that it would have passed between them had they been of sufficient height.
13. The ball when in play may be stopped by any part of the body, but may not be held or hit by the hands, arms, or shoulders.
14. All charging is fair; but holding, pushing with the hands, tripping up, and shinning are forbidden.

“ The length of the ground should not be more than 150 yards, and the breadth of not more than 100 yards. The ground shall be marked out by posts, and two posts shall be placed on each side line, at distances of 25 yards from each goal line. ”
