Roll-in.

roll-in shall be taken by one of the team opposed to the player
who last touched the ball. Players may cross the 7 yds. line
immediately the ball leaves the hand of the roller-in. The ball
may be rolled-in at once, but no other player shall stand (himself
or his stick) within the 7 yds. line or outside the side line. Should
the umpire consider that a player is standing within the 7 yds.

side line, and may only play the ball again after it has been
touched by another player.

direction at right angles to the goal line from the point where it
crossed the line, and there " bullied."

circle in the field of play.
