ABOLISH TUMBLE,
NOT TExTRAPO|NT,
'LAYDEN ARGUES
BY ELMER LAYDEN

Football Coach, NOtre Dame University
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. g.
Two of the most discussed phases
of 1888 football are the point after
touchdown and the early-season
epidemic of fumbleitis. I'll go
along with anyone who can think
UP a way to abolish the fumbles
1--WE had IA in two gamesD, but
I'm very much against eliminat-
ing the play after touchdown.
Some of those who would get
rid of the extra point argue that
it gives an unfair advantage to
the team with kicking special
ist. AS logically you may argue
that the forward pass should be
outlawed because certain teams,
like Texas Christian and Colum-
bia, have Superlative pasSers, like
Davy O'Brien and Sid Luckman.
Suppose a coach does have an
extraordinary kicker-the special
ist who cannot run or pass. The
advantage after touchdown is au-
tomatically reduced by the fact
that he must weaken his lineup In
order to use the advantage.
RUN, PASS, OR KICK
Some of the ants ignore an
other pertinent fact. The rule
does not limit the effort to acquire
the extra point to kicking. Rather,
it prescribes an extra play and
the attendant privilege of running,
passing, or kicking for the point.
Also overlooked in some OF the
arguments is the defensive teams
right to break up the play II 1t
can.
Everybody wants a winner. It
is the very nature of any kind OF
competition to strive for a dec1-
sion.
The play after touchdown helps
cut down the number Of tie games.
always unsatisfactory, and an
added feature is the fact that 1t
tests further the relative ability
of the competing teams.
Other ways from time to time
have been suggested for breaking
tie, as, for example, giving first
downs and yardage some point
value. This proposal undoubtedly
is based on the theory that the
team which makes the most first
downs or accumulateS the most
yardage essentially establishes
thereby some measure Of superb
ority.
STATISTICS COUNT
I don't think so.
For instance, Notre Dame beat
Carnegie Tech badly in downs and
yardaee last year, but the Tartans
won the game. They took full
advantage of a few opportunities
to score while we muffed many.
They outplayed us last year. This
year the statistics were more
nearly even. But twice they
begged down when our fumbles
put them in a favorable position.
On the other hand, we converted
a last-quarter break by covering
At yards in four plays to score
the touchdown that gave us vic
tory. We outplayed Carnegie this
year.
Except where luck or poor Off.
ciating takes a vital part in a
game. you are safe in saying the
better team won-that Is. the
better team on a given Saturday
afternoon. The only statistics
that count are those on the score
board.

Having in mind the record the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
ell has for fairness to their fellow
man, we earnestly call your atten-
ton to a condition existing in the
Butte public high school.
Each year a high school annual is
issued from the school, supposedly
under the direction of a staff chosen
mainly from the Junior class, with
a member of the faculty in charge.
In the annual each senior has an
individual photograph. In late years
the Senior class has numbered
around four hundred students.
For many years a contract for this
work has been let to one certain
studio. No matter what or how we
bid we do not get any part of this
work. Although we r not given
an opportunity of being present
when the bids are opened, we finally
find out through some channel that
the contract has been given to the
same old place even though at times
our bids have been lower.
AS near as we can find out the
Senior class members, the annual
staff or the faculty member il
charge are not consulted as to where
they want this Photographic work
done. We have appeared before the
school board and also interviewed
each member separately. We have
talked with the principal of the higl
school and the city superintendent
of schools and always with the same
result. The contract always goes t.
the same place.
AT a convention Of the Montana
Photographers Association held il

Great Falls, Bozeman, Billings

student be allowed to go to tn

We believe you will disapprove c
the method used in letting this wor.

that you communicate your dis
