Defense Secretary McElroy,
erstwhile king Of Americas soap
statesmen, has been heavily en-
gagged in another selling cam
paign in recent weeks, one de-
signed to convince the public
that Congress should approve
President Eisenhower's plan to
reorganize the Pentagon.
The President, of course, has
been personally leading this eff
fort, with long-distant tele-
phone. calls and kilograms to
influential citizens, news con-
ference statements and numer-
Gus speeches.
But as Mr.. Eisenhower'S
deputy commander-in-chief, y
the genial former Proctor &
Gamble boss, q man with a
welI-developed knack of win
ming friends and influencing
people, has done his part.
Vote Due This Week
The compromise reorganiza-
ton bill approved unanimously
by the House Armed Services
Committee comes up for a vote
in the House this week. The
President has demanded impor-
tant changes in it.
And as an indication of the
effective selling job the Eisen-
hower-McElroy combination has
done, some observers are pre-
dieting that the President may
get one or more Of his requested
amendments, despite the op-
position of powerful Congress
men.
Mr.. McElroy has made four
major speeches - ones consid-
cred important enough to be
mimeographed by the Penta-
gon hand-out factory-ard in

Terry Brennan of Notre

among those who assailed the
change.
"RidiculouS!" Brennan said.
You have to fight hard from

six points. Now you can get
two by going only three yards. {"
Olivar declared. 1T puts an
extra premium on rushing or

It's an unimportant change.
The Ivy League coaches have
been thinking OF restoring en-

games" Sherman said. They
would have done better to move
the goalposts and help us on
field goals"
The change, Sherman con-
tinued. would force the teams
to spend more practice time on
extra points. which naturally
will detract from time spent
on other phases Of the game.

There we're several suggestions

coaches put UP bonds when
signing a contract. Somebody
else suggested that a raiding
school be made to pay of a
coach's contract. Somebody
else said the NCAA has to take
steps against the raiding
schools.
Irony In Development
1T was ironical to me. I
was asked what I thought and

such a problem at Navy-that
our coach had had several Of

the offering that he already
was under contract.

a previous commitment to speak
before Navy alumni in Boston.
Jack Finney. a member of the

make its recommendation to

The general feeling is that If

Mont, Erdelotz Back

Eddie Erdelatz. coach of

the new scoring rule adopted
by the NcAA Football Rules
Committee would make college
football more exciting and open
up the game "a little"

terms as ridiculous" disgust

The rule. effective next sea-

conversion scored on a run or
pass. and only one If scored
on a place or drop kick as in
the past. The line Of scrim-
mage for the attempted con-
version is moved back one yard
to the 3-yard line.
Calls for Thinking
AT one time after scoring a
touchdown" Erdelatz said
everyone figured you would try
to block the kick. Now there
will be a little more thinking
in the game-if the other team
has seven points you must de-
eide whether to go for a tie or
for the additional point"
1.-THE rule should open up the
game" Mont declared. 'es-
pecially II a team has a fast
runner who is able TO kick ex-
ira points. The defense won't
be able to concentrate on simply
trying TO block the kick. The
rule also should eliminate some
tie games. Wen have to do
some planning on this new
angle before next season."
But from the opposition came
such blasts as this from Frank
Mosely Of Virginia Tech.
