1929 Football Rules Change Dead Ball on Fumbles
Changes in the 1929 football regulations include a rule that a ball fumbled or muffed and recovered cannot be advanced and is dead at the point of recovery. The kick related provisions cover deficits and free kicks as well. The try for point after touchdown moves to the two yard line, and shoes with metallic plates are now restricted. Player conduct penalties tighten tackling and unnecessary roughness rules to curb dangerous plays.
