I was never that good at math, but wouldn't a football's long axis be from point to point? How is that horizontal unless it's parallel to the line of scrimmage?
I wish all football rule books were written in English.

Maybe they mean horizontal to the ground so the center can't tilt the ball in the air (which is also usually allowed).
