B must be given way to, because he is on the line on which the
ball travelled, even though coming in an opposite direction, whereas
C would cross that line.
Example III
Field Rule 16.—Crossing.
A hits the ball to X.
If B can unquestionably reach the ball at X, without causing A
to check to avoid a collision, then B is entitled to possession and
can take an off-side back-hander at B'.
But if there is reasonable doubt, then it is B's duty to swerve
towards B" (the line of the ball) and take a near-side back-hander,
and if in taking that back-hander, or afterwards, his pony in the
slightest degree crosses the line of the ball, a " cross " should be
given against him.
Example
IV
Field Rule 16 (a).—Crossing, Possession of Ball.
Field Rule 16 (b).—Riding at Smallest Angle.
The ball has been hit to X.
Neither A nor B hit it there.
