Last year football enjoyed its

The public. by lis attendance, show

Al the recent meeting OF the lead
Ing football coaches in New York.
not one drastic change was made in

forms were suggested, but all Of
them we're quickly voted down. The
coaches showed much wisdom in
deciding not 10 tinker with the rules
in any way.
Tie games I'm football or any other
snort are far from satisfactory.
Buck O'Neil. who coached Al Colum-

most first downs should be regarded
as the victor The advantage In
downs should be the deciding factor
IN all tie games. Nothing doing,

Coach Heisman, OF Pennsylvania,
offered a most ingenious suggestion
as a means OF eliminating tie games
In football II was his plan 10 allow
both teams to have the ball on the
offensive for three downs from mid.
field after the finish OF the game. |
Teams we're to be allowed to pass,
kick or run. The team advancing 1
the ball farthest in the three tries |
should be given the extra point, and |
the game.
While the coaches listened with |
much attention TO the unusual sug-
yestion OF the Pennsylvania mentor.
I failed TO receive the slightest en-
from any OF them.
Coach Neale, OF Washington and

Bill Roper. OF Princeton, thought Of

Neale was for eliminating the
