KICKS MAY NOT PREVAIL
IN TRY FOR EXTRA POINT
BY WALTER CAMP.

The new foot ball rule regarding
the try at goal from a touchdown IS
giving rise to all sorts OF conjectures 3.
Prophecies now are being made that
when the ball is brought out to the
5-yard line after d touchdown moth
ing will be tried but field goals.
That may be true. but If one takes
the average gain of several of the
strong line plungers! it will be found
that goal is not secure from a play
from the 5-yard line.
1t will be remembered that when
the rule was adopted providing that
after a touchdown the ball could be
brought out directly in front of the
posts. no matter where the touchdown
was made. the prophets said no goals
would be missed.
Many people seem to think that a
running play may be freely used this
year. The only think one can do is
wait and see.

Commander Howard is modest, for
the chances are that the reduction
would amount to more than one half.
Under the present proposal to cut
congressional appointments from FIVE
to three the numerical strength Of
the midshipmen brigade probably
would come down pretty nearly, il not
quite. to thousand.
May Hit Some Branches.
But even so. there is no reason.
apparently, why strong teams should
net be constructed out of student
b&dy numbering one thousand. At
least good foot ball teams could be
produced. AS to track, crew and
base ball, diminished numbers at
Annapolis might provide cause for
grave thought.
