the subsidiaiy goal line. For matches, the goal line and the subsidiaiy goal line 

 shall be marked by a narrow line of whitewash. 



PLAYERS AND UMPIRES ONLY ALLOWED ON THE GROUND. 



6. — Each team shall consist of not more than four players. No person, other 

 than players and umpires, shall come on the ground while the ball is in play. 



THE BALL. 



7. — The ball shall be about four ounces in weight and ten and a half inches in 

 circumference. 



DURATION OF PLAY AND GOALS. 



DURATION OF PLAY. 



S. — Each match shall last for not more than forty minutes' actual play, divided 

 into periods of five minutes. Time must be called, irrespective of the ball being 

 in play, when the game shall have lasted its specified maximum time. 



PERIODS. 



9. — A period will end the first time the ball goes out, after five minutes' actual 

 play, except that the penalty- mentioned in rule 17 (7), or the penalty for any 

 foul, must be enacted in the same period in which the breach of rules occurred. 

 Any excess of time over five minutes, in each period, will be deducted from the 

 last period, and if the aggregate of such overtime exceeds five, or ten minutes, 

 from the last period but one, or the last period but two, as may be found 

 necessary. 



INTERVALS. 



10. — There shall an interval of not more than three minutes between each 

 period, and of one minute after each goal. At the conclusion of each interval, 

 and, otherwise, whenever the ball goes out of play, the game must be re-started 

 as laid down in rule 17. 



A MATCH HOW DECIDED. 



II. — A match is won by the team that scores the greatest number of goals, or, 

 in the event of a tie, by the team that scores the greatest number of subsidiary 

 goals. No number of subsidiary goals will ever equal a true goal. If at the 

 expiration of time, each team has scored the same number of goals and subsidiary" 

 goals, the goals shall be widened up to the subsidiary goal marks, and fresh sub- 

 sidiar)- goal marks drawn at the usual distance outside them. The game shall 

 then be re-started from the centre of the ground {vide rule 17 a), and play shall 

 be continued for five minutes. If, at the expiration of this additional five 

 minutes, the game is no longer a tie, time shall be called, and the match shall 

 end. But if the game is still a tie, time shall not be called until the ball goes 

 out of play. The game shall then be continued, with the usual periods and 

 inter^-als, until one side scores, when it shall end, or otherwise, until play is no 

 longer possible. In the latter case the local tournament committee will settle 

 whether the match is to be played over again, or the most equitable way in which 

 a decision shall be arrived at.
