Than Mr. Heywood Broun, in his part of the World (New York) utters plaints about the present rush of youthful Eli poets to print, and mourns that all Harvard has is a rush of Crimson pigskin chasers to a certain end of a certain kind of a field under certain conditions...

The change is well worth consideration, for it seems inappropriate that the place-kick following a touchdown, the result of which is at least partly determined by luck, should be the margin of victory in so many games.
