Rule changes

  • The ball for the 1955 season dead ( dead ) when the ball carrier contacts with a part of the body except the hands and feet to the ground while an enemy is in range.
  • If a pass is intercepted by a defender outside the end zone ( interception ), but the defender gets into the end zone with his swing and is tackled there before he ran out of the end zone, this is no longer safety since the 1955 season, but rather the ball is placed on the spot where the interception took place.
