Football Rules Unchanged for 1935 Season With Key Dead Ball Change
The 1935 football rules for schools and colleges stay largely the same with three minor alterations. The major change allows a ball carrier on his feet to run pass or kick until the whistle if tackled but not thrown, promoting a more open game. Officials get a new timeout notice mandate and the seven on the line rule remains, with refinements to player positions and penalties.
