theory of the play is to have the

~ required no particular skill,
just drive ana power. The dirt tee
became so indispensable that piles
OF earth were usually placed on
every forty-yard line.
Is for any reason pile Of soft
earth to make a tee was not avail
able, the team preparing for the
kickoff would dig up portion Of
the field until q suitable sized tee
would be made. This, Of course,
took time and unnecessarily delayed
the, game.
Several teams used the pile of
dirt or tee in kicking goal after
try Tor point, collecting the loose
earth would entail more delay.
So the committee wisely decided
TO abolish the use Of. any tee at
al IN kicking the bali from place
nnent.
There is no reason why d long
Kick cannot be made by placing the
Dali directly on the ground. The
summation OF the dirt. tee will
shorten the kickoff to some extent.
Recognizing this, the committee
provided the kickoff be made from
SA4&NAAAG40s
When the goal after touchdown
was abolished and the try for point
substituted in its place there was
q general impression that frequent.
~ teams would aVall themselves OF

Quite the opposite has been the
case. Seldom, II ever, has any
play been used but the orthodox
drop kick or place kick.
AS played today the try for point
ID a monotonous play. In hopes Of
opening up this particular feature
Of the game the rule has been
changed to permit the ball to be

of play and encouraging the rush
or the pass.
have my doubts whether the
committee accomplished its object.
The kick is too certain and even
three yards on one rush is often
very hard to get. Personally, I do
not approve Of the play and think
the solution is to make the touch
down count Z points and eliminate
the try for point entirely.
In the past few years, the game
has slowed up considerably. Stall,
ing by the team in the lead near
the end of the fourth quarter IS
noticeable in every close game.
