may be required to furnish proof
at a later date.
Applications must be on file
with the United States Civil Ser

Speedball—
(Continued from page 3)
a game is partly due to the fact
that the rules are easy to learn
and the play is not complicated.
A brief resume of the rules of
Intramural Speedball follow:
INTRAMURAL SPEEDBALL RULES
The Game:
Speedball is a combination of soccer,
basketball, and football. Basicly it is
the game of soccer with the outstand
ing exception that the ball may be
caught when it is caused to go into
the air by striking or being struck
by any part of the body of any play
er. When legally caught, the ball may
be passed or punted.
Play is started by a kick-off as in
football. The game is a non-contact
game, as is basketball.
The Players:
Eleven players make up a speedball
team. A minimum of eight players is
required to start a game.
Scoring:
Scores are made as follows:
1. Field goal—3 points—made by kick
ing the ball between the opponents’
goal post and under the cross bar.
2. Touchdown—2 points—made by com
pleting a forward pass over the op
ponents’ goal line. The passer must
be in the field of play and the re
ceiver in the end zone. If either of
the two is touching or straddling
the goal line, the score does not
count.
3. Drop kick—1 point—made by drop
kicking the ball, from the field of
play, between the uprights and over
subjects. The 1939 and 1940 exam
inations included 22 and 28 separate
and distinct optional subjects, res
pectively; and, in addition, provis
ions were made for numerous sub-
optional groups on the basis of sem
ester hours shown by applicants in
certain areas of specialization. The
new examination, like the examin
ations of 1939 and 1940, con
sists of two parts; A general
test, and a professional test. The
general test will be given a weight
of 30, and the professional test
a weight of 70, in the determin
ation of the final ratings. The
professional test in each of the
optional subjects will cover the
fundamentals of that particular
science, profession, or subject.
The salary of the Junior Pro
fessional Assistant is $2,000 a
year. Optional subjects in the jun
ior grade are: administrative tech
nician, agronomist, animal nutri
tion, biologist (wildlife), chem
ist, economist, engineer, forester,
geologist, home economist, horti
culturist, legal assistant, meteor
ologist, physicist, range conserva
tionist, soil scientist, writing and
editing assistant, zoologist (paris-
itology).
A four year college course lead
ing to a bachelor’s degree is re
quired with major graduate or un
dergraduate study in the field of
the (^hosen subject. Senior or
graduate students now in attend
ance at institutions of recognized
standing may be admitted to the
examination subject to their fur
nishing during the existence of the
eligible register proof of comple
tion of the required course prior
to July 1, 1941. Applicants must
not not have passed their 35th
birthday.
Application forms may be ob
tained from the secretary, Board
of United States Civil Service Ex
aminers, at any first or second
class post office.
the cross bar.
4. Free kick—1 point—made by kick
ing the ball, from the penalty line,
between the uprights and below the
cross bar.
Violations:
It is a violation to:
1. Run with the ball.
2. Touch a ground ball with any part
of hands or arms.
3. Make two successive overhead drib
bles.
4. Cause the ball to go out of bounds.
Penalty for violations is, as in bas
ketball, the loss of the ball to op
ponents. The ball is put in play by
the offended team passing it into the
field of play from out of bounds, un
less the violation occurred in the play
ers’ penalty area, in which case one
free kick is awarded. A ball that
goes out of bounds over the end zone
may be put into play by passing,
punting, drop kicking, or place kick
ing.
Catching the Ball:
Any player may catch the ball while
it is in the air, provided that the
last thing it touched before going in
to the air was any part of any play
er’s body. Note: If a player causes
the ball to go into the air and then
catches it himself he must not touch
it with his hands until it is above his
knees. When a player catches a ball he
may punt it, pass it, drop kick it, or
make one overhead dribble.
Running With The Ball:
As in basketball, running with the
ball is prohibited. A player, while in
possession of the ball, may take only
one step unless he received the ball
while running at full speed, in which
case the referee will judge whether or
not the player stops or gets rid of
the ball as quickly as possible.
Personal Foul:
It is a foul to:
1. Charge an opponent.
2. Hold an opponent.
3. Trip an opponent.
4. Use any unnecessary roughness.
The penalty for personal fouls shall
be one or two free kicks and | or
disqualification.
1. One free kick is assessed for any
foul committed on the field of play.
2. Two free kicks are assessed for any
foul committed by a team in its own
penalty area (the area between the
goal line it is defending and the
adjoining end line.)
3. Disqualification may be assessed by
an official when he thinks a player
is unduly violating the spirit of the
game.
Free Kicks:
1. Free kicks are made from a point
on the opponents goal line direct
ly in front of the goal.
2. The goal may be guarded by only
one man. The remaining members
of both teams shall line up along
the end line on each side of the
goal.
3. A blocked free kick remains in the
play only if the foul for which the
free kick is given, occurred with
in the penalty area of the offend
ing team.
4. In the case of two free kicks, the
first kick is dead whether made or
missed.
Tie Ball:
The ball shall be tossed up between
any two opponents that have equal
possession of the ball.
The Toss:
1. The winner of the first toss shall
have the choice of kicking, receiv
ing, or direction. The loser of the
toss shall have the same choice at
the beginning of the second half.
2. The winner of the second toss shall
have the choice of playing with
or without shirts.
3. Goals shall be changed at the end
of the first and third quarters. The
ball shall be put in play at a point
corresponding to the point which
the ball occupied when the quarter
ended. The ball shall be thrown in
from out of bounds by the team that
possessed it at the end of the quar
ter. If no possession was evident, a
jump ball shall start the play.
Substitutions:
Substitutes may enter the game when
the ball is dead by reporting to the
scorer and to the referee. A player sub
stituted for may not re-enter that
quarter.
To The Timekeeper:
1. A game consists of four four-minute
quarters.
2. One minute of rest between the
quarters and five minutes between
the halves.
3. The watch shall be stopped when:
(a) socres are made
(b) time out is called by either team
or the referee
(c) fouls are called
(d) substitutions are made.
4. The watch shall be started on the
referee’s whistle to resume play.
