MAY ADoLIsn GOAL Kick.
1t Is Not Important Enough to Decide
Great Football Game,


IT IL Not Important Enough to Decide
Great Football Game.
There is a strong probability that
next season may see an important
change in football scoring methods.
The practice of making a goal from
the field equal in value to a touch
down WAS changed some seasons ago.
and ut least one influential and i'm
portant member OF the Football Rules
Committee Is In favor OF a%bolishing the
extra point allowed. when q goal lis
kicked from placement after q touch
down.
This man, who was a membe OF the
old Rules Committee before the re-
formation of the game In 1906, thinks
that the difficulty OF kicking this goal
Is not by n means one-ffth as great
as that OF scoring a touchdown. and
that there Is no reason for continuing
to award a point for such goals. 1t Is
thought by a good many persons that
there is SO little difficulty In Kicking
this goal that many games are simply
delayed by he time taken to punt
out and make the kick.
OF course. many goals are missed,
but 1t Is not often that a critical game
liz decided by the scoring or failure In
scoring a single point. The last case
of the kline was In the Princeton-Cor-
nell game October Goth. The score
was 6 to 6, and there was a great deal
OF reasonable argument permissible as
to whether a game should hinge on
such a point. 1t is often the case,
when a goal is missed. that a sudden
puff OF wind had more to do with the
direction of the kick than the play
er's foot. and luck may well. In such
a case. decide an important contest.
A few years ago.. in 1904. Virginia
beat North Carolina in a 12-11 game.

of expressing 1t. If more people were
as choice in the selection of a word to
express prevarication there would be

TIL talent of untruth is supposed to
have been inherited from a d~issolute

only thing the daughter inherited.
Like most people afflicted with this
habit, she lies-no. falsifies-once too
often. which results in ~estranging her
husband. OF course, this is terrible,
bu. Mr.. Fitch fixes 1t all right by the
last act. f..
