1) He must pass by (and we hope he touches) second on his way to first.
2) If he misses second, but then the ball goes OOP and he then retouches first and then second on the way to third, there are no appeals in NCAA and OBR based on the "last-time-by" concept. FED does not address this issue, but I would treat it the same way (which likely means that FED will come out with a different ruling. )
