ly altered the rule relating goal-kicks. Law 7 now reads:

to

It is not permissible for the goalkeeper to receive the ball into his hands from a goal-kick or a free kick taken by the de- fending side within the penalty ares by another player in order that he may thereafter kick it into play; the ball must be kick- ed direct from the goal or pen- alty area Into play, and if not kicked beyond the penalty area. the kick shall be retaken.

Law 1, dealing with the mark- ↑ing out of the field was altered so that an arc of a circle shall be marked within a radius of 10 yards from the penalty spot, and no player, other than the taker of the penalty, will be allowed to en- croach withiiln it.

Another amendment to Law 1 international provides that in matches the weight of the ball will be from 14 to 16 ounces, in- stead of from 13 to 15 ounces be- fore the start of play.
