Fielding Yost, the famous Michigan
football coach, has devised means to inn
prove the gridiron game. He suggests
that the posts be moved 10 yards back,
as the posts are not necessary in scor-
ing touchdowns. He put forth this
idea in view of the danger from the
posts. In kicking goals from touch
downs they would be required to stand
on the fiye-yard line. He believes that
it would benefit the game in field goal
kicking. He thinks that it gives to-day
team with fine kicker too much ad
vantage. To-day the team has only to
advance the ball within the 35-yard line
before attempting the kick. With the
posts changed the team would have to
display its power and work up within
the 25-yard line.
