New York (U.R) Football's
extra point is on the gridiron
griddle again today and, while
all this shouting will be about
as effective as whistling into a
rain barrel, the suggestion that
it be abolished makes for inter
esting speculation.
Some of the. game's better
minds have suggested for years
now that the extra point be abol
ished. This cry has been raised
again by stout Steve Owen, the
former New York Giant coach
who is one of the keenest stu
dents of the game.
Apparently the major hurdle
is tradition.
"We have voted on this ques
tion in three of the last 10 years
and each year the coaches voted
by a large margin to leave it as
it is, explains Lou Little, head
of the coaches' Rules Committee
"After all, it is traditional."
Once Worlh Five
Yet, after all, the touchdown
once was worth five points and
this was changed. So, too, were
many things which were tradi
tion before the Carlisle Indians
ever heard of football.
And Little, when . he sends out
his annual questionnaire to the
coaches next week, may discov
er that there is a surprising list
in favor of abolishing the extra
point or making some practi
cal changes.
"Fritz Crisler of Michigan had
a fine idea," explains Owen,
"when he suggested that the ex
tra point place kick be worth
one point as now but that it be
worth two points if accomplish
ed, on a run or pass. This at least
would add a xit of interest."
Ed (Moose) Krause, athletic
director at Notre Dame, also
hinted that he was in a receptive
mdod to a change.
Tough To Lose By One
It's tough for a team to play
a great game and lose because of
one point when it actually
doesn't tell the difference be
tween the two teams," Krause
asserted.
There must be a host of other
coaches who feel the- same way
after losing one-point decisions
this year.
The coaches, at Georgie Tech
and Utah must be bitter after
their teams each dropped two
games on the extra point
which isn't actually part of the
game s playing time but is kick
ed with time being out. And im
agine how the coaches feel at
Boston University, Delaware
and Amherst, all of which lost
perfect records by that boot be
tween the uprights.
These are not isolated cases.
Just to mention a few of the
one-point victims the list in
cludes Virginia Princeton, Har
vard, Cornell, Navy, Illinois,
Baylor, Tennessee, LSU, Iowa,
Michigan State Brigham Young,
Washington, Detroit, North
Carolina State and Hardin-
Simmons.

Corvallis (U.R) Ten mem
bers of last year's championship
northern division basketball
squad were on hand yesterday
for Oregon State's initial prac
tice session of the 1954-55 cam
paign. Some 18 candidates reported
to Coach Slats Gill for the work

and five members of the fresh
man squad last year.

Pacific Coast selection last
year, will be ineligible for the
team until next semester be
cause of scholastic deficiencies.
Beaver veterans include Tex
Whiteman, Bill Toole and Ron

Fernandez Has Brooks
Buzzing Over Ability
Brooklyn (U.R) Chicd Fer
nandez, "on a par with Chico
Carasquel right now," had the
Brooklyn Dodger front office
making a lot of optimistic 1955
plans today, including the trans
fer of veteran PeeWee Reese
over to second base.
The fancy-fielding, 21-year-
old Fernandez "will be even bet
ter than Carrasquel in two or
three years," according to play
ers who competed against him
in the International League last
season and those who are seeing
him for the first time in the Cu
ban Winter -league now.

HUSKIES DO USUAL
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) The Uni
versity of Washington Huskies
went through their usual Mon
day routine yesterday, watching
movies of their 26-7 loss at the
hands of Oregon and hearing
scouting reports on this week's
opponent, California.
Coach -Johnny Cherberg said
sophomore right halfback Jim
Thomas, who tore some liga
ments in his left knee against
the Ducks, is a 'doubtful starter"
against the Golden Bears.
DUKE MAY BE OUT
Pullman, Wash. (U.R) Senior
fullback Duke Washington of
the Washington State Cougars
may not see action against the
Michigan State Spartans Satur
day, according to Coach Al
Kircher.
Washington suffered a sprain
ed ankle during WSC's 30-26
victory over the Stanford In
dians last week and was not
able to suit up for practice yes
terday. However, ends Don Gest
and Ed Clark, injured early in
the game Saturday, were back
in uniform.
PIERCE TO PLAY
San Jose, Calif. (U.R) First
string quarterback Benny Pierce
should be ready for action Sat
urday night when the San Jose
State Spartans tangle with the
College of Pacific Tigets at
Stockton.
Coach Bob Bronzman said
Pierce suffered a hip pointer in
a "brutal collision" with George
Veit in the first play of the
game against North Texas State
last week. Veit suffered a broken
neck, and his team was defeated,
27-20, led by the San Jos esquad.
BEARS INJURED
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Coach
Lynn Pappy Waldorf counted at
least six injuries on his Univer
sity of California squad yester
day as a result of the 27-6 set
back suffered last week end at
the hands of the rugged Bruins
of UCLA.
He said the most seriously in
jured were reserve left halfback
Tom Kramer, who suffered a
sprained ankle, and Ted Gran
ger, sophomore fullback who
sprained his ankle. Both men
will be out of action against the
Washington Huskies Saturday.
