Harder Extra
Point Urged
ByTadJones

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.--Before
Tad Jones left for Chicago to at
tend the Army-Navy game he was
asked II he would have something
to say about football when he re-
turns to attend the Yale Club rally
in Nick Roberts barn in Mont
clair, N. J. At the festive pow-wow
last year he made several recon-
mendations regarding changes in
the rules Of the game. Asked if he
would make any further suggestions
he said:
"I think so--in fact, I may say
positively that / will, at least in
regard to the rule relative to a goal
after touchdown. This play
should be made harder. The present
rule is an improvement over the
old one, but l am convinced that
the play should be made more diff.
ficult and that the ball should be
kicked from the 20-yard line"

These service games have al
ways been fought most bitterly.
Indeed, the Government ordered
them discontinued after the Nays
s to victory in 1893 and for five
years the teams did not meet.
The University Of Pennsylvania,
at the suggestion of the late DR..
]. William White, offered the
teams the use of Franklin Field
and so the service scrappers re-
sumed hostilities in 1899.
For ten years in succession the
Army faced the Navy, winning
six, losing three and tying one.
A Cadet Dies
THERE was no game in 1909
l. because in the Harvard
Army game the West Point cap.
tain and star tackle, Cadet Bryne,
was so seriously injured that he
died the following morning. This
writer happened to be present at
that game, the last for the Army
that year as football ceased for
the season with Bryne's untimely
passing.
Resumed in 1910, the series
continued for seven years with
out a break, Army winning four
to Navy's three victories.
In 1917 and 1918, of course,
the series was suspended, the
cadets Of both institutions having
much more serious business before
