Harvard-Princeton Rules.

The captains of the Harvard and Princeton teams have arranged the details of the playing rules for the match game to be played on Nov. 2. In general the Yale-Princeton code will be followed, the main exception being a compromise on the number of men allowed back of the line. In addition to the four usual backs two other players will be permitted back of the line, either tackles or ends. Any formation can be made by such players, provided it be not more than five yards back of the line. But no man is allowed to start before the ball is put in play. The rule on a fair catch provides that after making such a catch the player must first touch the ball to the ground before running with it or passing it to another player. If he does not run with the ball he may have the option of a first down on the spot at which the ball is caught, or he may kick the ball from that spot, the opposing side not being permitted to line-up nearer than ten yards from the ball.
