4.2.1 Situation C: A player wears a hard cast on an arm or a hard splint on a finger that has been covered with a foam-rubber padding and then wrapped securely with a soft elastic athletic bandage. RULING: Legal. Players may participate if wearing a hard cast or hard splint if properly padded and with medical permission and referee approval.

NevadaRef:

The year that this game was played was two years before the rule was changed to what it is now. At the time of the game in question the Rule and Casebook Play prohibited the wearing of casts period.
