36o APPENDIX. 



{c) Who, when two players {neither entitled to possessioii) start from different 

 directions to try and obtain possession of the ball, does not give way to 

 the other player of the two who is moving on a line more nearly parallel 

 to that on which the ball is, or has been, travelling (example 7). 

 N.B. — In no case can a player be made to pay the penalty for a cross, who is so 

 ridden off as to be forced across the line of a player who is in possession 

 of the ball. In this case the player who caused the danger is to blame 

 (example 8). 



FAIR RIDING. 



29. — A player shall be considered to ride off fairly, when, having placed him- 

 self abreast of an adversary (after following a line of direction as nearly as 

 possible parallel to that in which his adversary is moving), he gradually forces 

 him from, or prevents his continuing in, the direction in which he is riding. 



DANGEROUS RIDING. 



30. — Riding into an adversary in any other way than as defined in rule 27, 

 or placing a stick, in a dangerous manner, over or under the body, or across the 

 legs, of an adversary's pony, constitutes dangerous riding. A player, however, 

 who deliberately rides his pony up to an adversary who is in possession of, and 

 striking at, the ball ; or who deliberately rides his pony over the ball to prevent 

 an adversary striking at it, does so at his own risk. 



PENALTIES. 



PENALTY FOR AN " ORDINARY FOUL." 



31. — The penalty for an " ordinary foul," i.e., for any infringement of rules 

 19-26, is either : — 



(i) A free hit from where the ball was when the foul occurred, none of the 

 side causing the foul to be within ten yards of the ball. 



(iij The side causing the foul to take the ball and hit it off from behind their 

 own back line, as in rule 17 (/). 



; The side which is not the offending one, has the choice of penalties. 



PENALTY FOR A "DANGEROUS FOUL." 



32. — The penalty for a " dangerous foul," i.e., for crossing or dangerous riding, 

 is as follows : — 



A free hit from a spot| fifty yards from the back line of the side causing the 

 foul, opposite the centre of the goal, or, if preferred, from where the foul 

 occurred : all the side causing the foul to be behind the back line until 

 the ball is in play, but not between the goal posts, nor when the ball is 

 brought into play may any of that side ride out from between the goal 

 posts ; none of the other side to be nearer the back line than the ball is, 

 at the moment the ball is brought into play.
