An important rule is that of off-side. No player, if she is between the puck and her opponent’s goal, may receive a pass from one of her team unless it is touched by an opponent, or unless one of own team with the puck is between her and the opponents’ goal. The penalty for off-side play is facing the ball where the foul occurred. This rule does not hold in defense directly in front of the goal. One point is scored when the puck passes between the goal posts lower than their highest point. The teams change goals to begin the second half. The fouls are: To lift the stick above the shoulder except when lifting the puck. To throw a stick. To hit, trip, or block a player by holding the stick in a horizontal position. To body check or charge from behind, to trip, kick, push, hold with hand or stick. For the goal keeper to sit, kneel, or lie. To grasp, carry, or push the puck with any part of the body. To interfere with a player not in possession of the puck. The penalty for a foul is: The offender may be ruled off the ice for a certain time. OFFICIALS. There is a referee who controls the game and inflicts the penalties. There are two umpires, one at each end, to decide whether a goal has been made. There are two timekeepers to keep the time of the game and a penalty timekeeper who keeps the time of players ruled out and notifies the player when she may return to the game. There is for each team a captain, who makes the decisions for her team, and she is responsible for the good sportsmanship of her team. There are many little tricks in ice hockey that may be acquired with practice, but the object of the game should be to have as clean and fast a game as possible, where skillful playing holds greater sway than roughness. Rowing Very lucky is the school or college that has the necessary facilities for rowing. Wherever this form of sport is indulged in, it is generally popular. It deserves its popularity, for not only is it one of the most pleasant outdoor recreations but it is also very beneficial, since it brings into play practically all the muscles in the body. In rowing, as in other sports, there is a great difference between competitive and non-competitive work. Whether racing or merely taking a pleasure row, the stroke is, however, fundamentally the same. First, the position in the boat is to be considered. The oarsman sits in the center of the boat with her back toward the bow, facing the stern, with her feet planted firmly on the bottom of the boat, knees bent, slightly apart. An oar is grasped firmly in each hand, the oars having previously been adjusted in the oar-locks. There is a difference in the racing stroke, as shown under Racing. _Position of the Hands on the Oar._--Next to be considered is the stroke itself. The blade of the oar is just above the water and perpendicular to it. The arms and hands are straight, so that the hands holding the oars are just above the toes.
