3. If three men go out, our halfback, tackle and end move out and cover them.
4. If four offensive men go out, we put out the halfback, end and tackle, and our linebacker goes out half-way. The alignment for the linebacker would be a yard deeper and a yard wider than he usually lines up.
5. If five men go out on the offensive team, we put out our halfback, end, tackle, linebacker half-way, and the defensive guard. If they put more than five men out, we do not change our alignment.
6. If there is any doubt about how to meet strength with strength, we start with the outside man and put a defender on every other offensive man.
7. The safety man will always play in the middle of the field or in the middle of the eligible receivers.
8. A defensive end must never be flanked by one offensive man unless he can beat the flanker through the gap and into the offensive backfield.
9. A tackle should never be flanked by two offensive men unless he can beat the nearest opponent.
10. The initial charge of the players who are left on defense is to the outside, unless there is a concentration of offensive backs. Should the latter be the case, then the defensive charge will be normal.
11. The greater the offensive team splits its line, the farther off the line of scrimmage the defenders must play.
