1936 Football Rules Clarify Ineligible Receiver and Kicking Changes
No major overhaul to 1936 football rules. Rules clarify interference by ineligible receivers near pass plays and receiving zones about ten yards wide. Penalties shift to spot next play for incomplete passes and touchbacks. Officials gain clearer kick protection and kicking-team advancement on blocked kicks. Faster whistles, substituted legality, and jersey numbers are highlighted to aid officials, players, and spectators.
