New York, Oct. 20.—~When the fpotbail rules committee holds its neat annual session two major lssues dealing with the scoring system In football will be up for renovation. One deals with the indecisive tie game and the other with the extra polnt after touchdown, Agitation against both lesues has developed in | suctions of the country as a result of a wholesule {number of tie games and the great number of contests decided by the point after touchdown which, it is | claimed by puts too at o penalty on a team matching touchdown with anotlier, Football's scoring rules are unique in that they provide no relief for the tie game. No other major Ameri- can college outside of track and fleld, fails 1o supply a means of breaking deadlocks. Basketball provides an‘extra time period; base- ball rung into extra innings if the count is knotted at the end of the ninth; tennis matches must be played uptil a decisive result is ob- tained while hocke cer, golf and polo all furnish a mcans for break- ing tics. . Jrootball rulemakers have wrestled with these problems time and again without arriving at a lasting solu- tion, It wasn't so long ago that {John Heisman, now coach at Rice Institute, Texad, put forward a plan to break ties Wy giving each team a certaln number of plays in an |extra period, awarding an’ additional | point to the eleven gaining the most ground by method it desire This scheme was turned down, how- ever, by the coaches themselves, The extra point after touchdown, as a matter of fact, was incorporated in the play with the idea of break- ing many deadlocks but it does not appear to be generally offcetive, At irst this additional point could be gained only by a kick. The rules now provide that the attacking team may try a rush or pass to go over the goal line but these alternatives are rarcly used because the greater pereentage of success at kicking. This, opponents of the extra point now contend, puts too great a pre- mium on posscssion of a good kicker and acts as a hardehip to the cleven whose rushing aftack is equally as effeetive many crifics, I one The sta s of the it illuminating.
