Try for Extra Point
May Go and Other ;
Changes Made
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,

CHICAGO, Jan. 5-The National
Football League, long a pioneer in
wide-open play, now is toying with
the idea of abolishing the extra
point try after touchdown and
adopting the sudden death" method
of ending deadlocks.
A proposal embracing both inno-
vations is included among 81 rules
changes recommended by officials
and coaches for consideration at the
leagues annual winter meeting here
next Wednesday and Thursday.
George Strickler, league publicity
director, explained that the Sudden
death" recommendation by
Bert Bell, president of the Pitts
burgh Steelers, and Coach Earle
(Greasy) Neale of the Philadelphia
Eagles-calls for overtime periods of
Is minutes duration, with the con-
test to end when the first touch
down, field goal or safety is made
Strickler added, however, that
some league officials believe the pro-
posed changes would result in in
creased injuries as players became
more and more exhausted in over
time play. Two of last seasons
three tied games complicated East
ern division standings since dead
locked games are not reckoned in
the standings.
Extra Point Minimized.
Bell and Neale said the extra
point try wasted some two minutes
of playing time after each touch
down and meant little in the touch
down n-conscious play-for- pay loop.
The overtime rule now is in effect
for playoffs of divisional ties, but
never has been invoked.
Whatever tampering the league
does with its rule book, however,
probably will be overshadowed by
discussions Of operational plans for
l945. The recent Federal edict call
ing for reclassif1cation of Al ath-
leteS is bound to make some inroads
on league personnel.
The annual draft of college players
scheduled next Wednesday will be
merely whistling in the graveyard
for club owners who know that un-
less the war comes to an abrupt end,
few, If any, of the players chosen will
be wearing football togs next fall.
"The draft will be merely a for
mality this year-as it was to a
certain extent last year." asserted
Strickler, but we want to keep our
fences in order and stake our claims
to show other proposed leagues that
we're still in business and intend to
stay in business" Some 800 names
of collegiate players will be reviewed
in the draft.
Other Changes Suggested.
Other recommended changes
would:
Ban offensive players from using
elbows in blocking an opponent
above the shoulders" This prac-
tice was termed rather prevalent"
and "as bad if not more vicious"
than striking blow.
Permit substitutions while time is
in, provided the substitution is made
and the replaced player off the field
before the bali is snapped. CNumer-
Gus penalties were inflicted last sea-
son for substitutions requiring more
than the legal number of time -outs.)
Abolish the automatic touchback
on all kicks which cross the goal line
from scrimmage
Apply penalties on half-time
stalling tactics to the closing minutes
of the first and third period.
Permit point tries from any point
on the field beyond the two-yard
stripe.
Allow 'T' formation quarterback
to crouch directly behind the center
whether or not he is handling the
ball.

Urqes AT Athletes
Entertain at Front

A new idea has been thrown into
the debate on wartime sports by
Representative OToole, Democrat,
New York. He suggests that draft
rejected Al professional athletes be
reclassified for military duty as
soldier athletes. -
Writing to War Mobilization Di-
rector James F. Byrnes, O'Toole rec
ommends putting 4-F pros on AL
sorts of athletic teams" that would
be sent to military posts, here or
abroad, where they would do the
most good"
OToole zdds the suggestion that
stage and screen stars found unfit
for full military DUTY but still able
to continue civilian careers also be
drafted in the same manner for
travelling units.
