 The goals shall be placed at least ten feet from the edge of the ice.

Two half hours, with an intermission of ten minutes between, will be the time allowed for matches, but no stops of more than fifteen minutes will be allowed. A match will be decided by the team winning the greatest number of games during that time. In case of a tie after playing the specified two half hours, play will continue until one side secures a game, unless otherwise agreed upon between the captains before the match. Goals shall be changed after each half hour.

No change of players shall be made after a match has commenced, except for reasons of accidents or injury during the game.

Should any player be injured during the first half of the match and compelled to leave the ice, his side shall be allowed to put on a spare man from the reserve to equalize the teams; should any player be injured during the second half of the match the captain of the opposing team shall have the option of dropping a player to equalize the teams or allow his opponents to put on a man from the reserve. In the event of any dispute between the captains as to the injured player's fitness to continue the game, the matter shall at once be decided by the referee.

Should a game be temporarily stopped by the infringement of any of the rules, the captain of the opposite team may claim that the puck be taken back and that a face take place where it was last played from before such infringement occurred.

The rules copied above need no explanation, but section 7 is more involved.

"When a player hits the puck, any one of the same side, who at such moment of hitting is nearer the opponent's goal-line, is out of play and may not touch the puck himself, or in any way whatever
