Furthermore, that type of effort was not so exhausting to a team as running plays. Menace Is Removed. Something else, last year the ball @lways was put down exactly be- tween the goal posts, and the posts interfered to a certain extent with running and passing plays. There Wil be no possibility of such inter- ference next Fall. And, incidentally, the kicking of a goal for point after touchdown will not he so very diffi- cult, inasmuch as the distance the kicks will have to go will run be- tween 21 and 25 yards, depending on how far back of his line the kicker stands. Probably an average at the end of next season will show that just about as many points after touchdown have been scored as were scored in 1926. Another phase connected with moving the goal posts back which Sseems entirely to have escaped no- tice in discussion of rule changes is that all possibility of a team being placed in the most dangerous defen. glve position on a gridiron has been eliminated, that position teams fre- quently found themselves in when they had the ball in their possession Just a yard or so in front of the goal posts, with the ball too close to the £oal line between the posts to run it to the side, thus forcing a punt from behind the posts. Big schools like to play their foot ball games with the possibility of a decision as a result of an error, or fluke, commonly called, eliminated. It is not improb- able that this was thought of when the agreement was reachéd to move the posts back. This may have influenced somewhat the decision to make a lateral or back- ward pass dead when it strikes the ground, because by no stretch of the imagination is that going to make a much more open game or add much to the game offensively. . Coaches have not failed to use the lateral pass because they feared ‘a fumble, but only and simply because it is the easiest play in the whole foot ball lexicon for a defense to stop, and, furthermore, it usually is stopped with a loss of four or five veards. Coaches do not desire plays that are stopped with four or five yard losses, 8o much for this rule as is affects the lateral or backward pass, as made iays to the side, designed to get UCKY STRIKES are smooth and mel- low—the finest cigarettes you ever smoked. : Marmon Motor Company of Washington, D.
