Careless Use
Of Firearms Is
Constant Danger
A timely and urgent warning
against the careless handling of
firearms during the hunting sea
son was issued today by Doctor
Geo. W. Cox, State . Health Offi
cer.
“During the year 1940 a total
of 179 deaths occured in Texas as
a result of firearm accidents, by
far the majority of them due to
hunting activities,” said Doctor
Cox. “A hunter’s loaded gun when
rot carried on safety is a menace
to himself and to everyone within
firing range.”
Doctor Cox pointed out that while
hunting is one of the nation’s most
enjoyable outdoor sports, this de
plorable toll of human lives goes
on anually due almost entirely to
carelessness. “Many men go hunt
ing year after year without harm to
themselves or to their compan
ions because they handle a gun
cautiously and with good sense,”
he declared.
“There is little excuse for the
brand of carelessness or clumsiness
that kills. If each hunter will use
precautions to go through the hunt
ing season without accidental in
jury to himself or his hunting com
panion, the death toll in Texas from
firearm accidents will be reduced
nearly seventy-five per cent,” Dr,
Cox stated.

THAT APPLY IN TOUCH FOOTBALL
Safeties and Touchbacks: Safety. When
ever the ball is declared dead in possession
of a team, provided the force which sent
it to or across the goal line came from
the team defending that goal, it is a
safety and scores 2 points for the oppon
ents. The ball is put in play by the team
that was scored on, by a free kick (of
any kind) from its own 20-yard line. The
restraining line for the receiving team
shall be the 30-yard line. A touchback is
made when the ball in possession and con
trol of a player guarding his own goal

goal line was given by an opponent. The
ball is put into play from scrimmage by
the team making the touchback, from its
own 20-yard line.
Blocked Punts: A partially blocked punt
that crosses the line of scrimmage is con
sidered as an unblocked punt. On a blocked
punt the ball is dead where it strikes
the ground and belongs to the defensive
team at that point, regardless of the down.
Punts blocked in the kicking team’s end
zone shall be ruled a safety.
Down After Penalty: It is an automatic
first down when the defensive team com
mits any foul except offside, linemen’s
hands on ground, or delay of game. (Down
remains same on these three penalties.)
The down remains the same when the of
fensive team commits any foul except on
certain forward pass plays.
Interference With Pass Receiver: The
defensive player has as much right to
intercept a pass as the offensive player
has to catch it and any bodily contact
caused by a genuine effort to intercept
the pass shall not be construed as inter
ference. The question to be answered is—
Was the play for the man or for the
ball?”
Kick Off: The kickoff shall be made
from the 40-yard line. Five members of
the receiving team shall stay between
their 40-yard and 50-yard line until the
kick is made. If the kickoff goes out of
bounds beyond the 40-yard line, it shall
be put in play on the 40-yard line. Out
of bounds kickoff in front of the 40-yard
line shall be put in play at a point even
with where it went out of bounds. If the
kickoff does not cross the receiver’s re
straining line (10 yards from point of
kickoff) it shall be kicked over, unless a
member of the receiving team touched it,
when it shall remain in play. The kicking
team may gain possession of the ball
after it has gone 10 yards but may not
advance it. A kickoff covered by the kick
ing team in the receiver’s end zone is a
touchdown. Team A may advance kicked
ball only if blocked behind scrimmage line.
’o the Timekeeper: Two 8-minute halves
shall constitute a game. Five minutes shall
be allowed between halves. Each team is
allowed three times-out in a half. A time
out shall be one minute long. The watch
shall be stopped on times-out, out of
bounds, incomplete passes, fouls, substi
tutions, and scores. The watch is started
when the ball is snapped or kicked off,
as the case may be.
