WOULD ABOLISH
GOAL KICKING
FOR EXTRA POINT

New York, Feb. Establishment Of
the present practice of kicking 4 goal
after a touchdown was unanimously
approved by collegiate football
coaches, meeting here tonight 1Sitn
the members of rules committee,
which will consider changes in the
present football code at its March
meeting. +
Major Charles Daley Of West Point,
author OF the proposal. suggested
that instead of the goal after touch
down, the scoring team be allowed to
put the ball on the Is yard line. Then
with both teams lined up in scfim-
mage formation. the scoring team
would have the option of scoring the
additional point by either run. for
ward pass. or a place kick.
II a foul was committed by the de-
fensive team. the one point score
would be allowed. If the foul was
committed by the offensive team, il
would forfeit its chance to make the
play and the ball would be taken to
the center OF the field for a new kick
off in the regular manner. The
coaches also urged that the present
Interpretation against clipping from
behind be incorporated as a rule and
that the rules committee should con-
sicer increasing the present penalty
of Is yards.

Probable Passing
of Old Army Posts

that reductions OF the naval estab-
lishment beyond those he has sug-
SeSted must of necessity he made
primarily in the navy yards and sta
tons, cutting the army below its
present authorized 10000 enlisted
strength undoubtedly would be re-
f1ected in abandonment of old army
posts over the country.
Exhaustive study OF the problem
has been made in the war depart
ment. 1t was prompted both by the
desire of Secretary Weeks TO CO.
operate with congress in its econ
omy campaign and also by rumors
OF impending efforts to chop the army
as low az $1,000 enlisted total.
The specific results of the study
have not been disclosed. The gem
eral theory on which curtailments
must he made however are familiar
to all officers. it is said.
The question of the strength Of the
army is to come up this week in
congress. Army officials 1t was
learned today will be ready at that
time to make it perfectly clear to the
committee that they do not believe
the present or future safety OF the
country will permit further reduction
of either the commissioned or en-
listed personnel.
Al the same time TO illustrate what
reductions will mean II decrecd by
Congress. they will he able to present
