PITTSBURGH. Pa, December g.
University of Pittsburgh has carved a
special niche in the hall Of foot ball

halfback, who this season piled up
grand total Of 1870 yards.
Pitt fans declare that this figure
stacks up better than any previous
total so far put forward. The gains of
Charley Rogers of Penn have been fig.

Welch amassed 472 yards in two
games. PSI yards against Penn State
and 221 yards in the Westminster con-
test West Virginia yielded ISL yards
to him.
The Colgate contest added 143 yards
to his mark; Washington and Jeffer-

him to but 107 yards. Undefeated and
united Lafayette let him through for
100 yards. In the Georgetown game
he amassed 81 yards, the lowest total
he made in any game during the

4 \ volved upon a single in
dividual to cap the splendid
work done by eleven men in sending
a back across the opposing goal by
kicking field goal. A miss on any
one OF the six occasions when point
after touchdown was played would
have cost one or the other of the con
tending elevens the game.
This, to be sure, would have re
suited in a decision instead of tie
game. In this very fact lies the argu
ment most employed in defending the
point after touchdown. But how un
fair and unjust 1t would have been for
TWO evenly matched elevens such as
the Army and Navy to have lost the
game in this way.
All over the country--and the
writer happens to know because he
has been all over the country this
Season--there is strong criticism OF
this extra point play and 1t Is about
time that the rules committee gave
heed to 1t.
E. r. Purdy Of Rutland. Va, sub.
mits a scheme which he thinks would
overcome the objection to the elimina-
ton Of the point after touchdown on
the ground that toe many tie games
would result. His idea involves a
revision Of the scoring system. But
this is no real objection; there is
plenty OF precedent for 1t.
Purdy would score the game as
follows:
Safety-twO points.
Field goal-three points.
Touchdown scored on tumble by
opponents-four points.
Touchdown scored after blocked
kick-five points.
Touchdown scored from scrim-
mage-six points.
Such a schedule would mean rather
q revolutionary change, but 1t has
recognizable merits. It Is obvious on
the face that a touchdown resulting
from strong and we'll conceived at
tack is more creditable than one
which comes through a fortunate
break due to the error Of an opponent.
This being so, some such system as
the one set forth above would do
away with the anomaly which SO
often occurs, the better team losing
or being tied.
