his holes when he does run, and he
can pass and punt.

Throughout the country there is a
pronounced feeling that this saddles
an element Of chance upon the game
which should not exist, and the con-
viction is growing.
With the goal posts set back, the
chances of failure in adding the extra
point by a place or drop kick have
been greatly increased, and only in
games between teams that are not
evenly matched does the stronger
eleven dare to try for the extra point
by forward pass or running play.
In the New York University.Penn

failed in one instance to add the extra

game through failure of one or the

Princeton's touchdown by straight
