Rules


Rule changes were made prior to the 1910 season to permit more use of the forward pass, with complicated limitations:[2]



  • The only eligible receivers were the two ends, who could catch a pass no more than 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, and could not be interfered with until the ball was caught.

  • A legal pass could not be thrown unless the quarterback was at least 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage and the rest of the players, except the two ends, were at least 1 yard behind the scrimmage line.

  • On kickoffs and punts, the kicking team's players could not be touched until they had advanced 20 yards

  • Flying tackles were outlawed, and "the man making a tackle must have at least one foot on the ground".

  • The ballcarrier could no longer be aided in any way by his teammates.


Other rules in 1910 were:



  • Field 110 yards in length

  • Kickoff made from midfield

  • Three downs to gain ten yards

  • Touchdown worth 5 points

  • Field goal worth 3 points

  • Game time based on agreement of the teams, not to exceed two 45 minute halves.[3]


The season ran from September 24 until Thanksgiving Day (November 24).[4] Prior to Thankgiving, the season's death toll was 22; the previous season's was thirty.[5]



Conference and program changes


  • The Colorado Faculty Athletic Conference (CFAC) changed its name to the Rocky Mountain Faculty Athletic Conference (RMFAC, now just the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) in 1910 after expanding into Utah.
