I ME POINT of today's piece Is the point the football point after Or rather points-after now that the college rulesmakers have adopted a revolutionary change You know the plan If you kick the ball after a touchdown it's one point But if you run or pass it successfully in the conversion attempt you will nOW get two points An interesting development to be sure But for us were still advocating the elimination of the pointafter-touchdown completely the same as we have done for years It lust doesn't make sense for one team to bent another after 60 minutes ot play by such a liberal method of scoring a point after touchdown vhether it counts one or two The touchdown is the aim In football Plus the field goal The extra point for eample has become so automatic among the pros that it a big story if a kicker misses one If it's that easy there's no point to it t4 'I- -h'IAIl 444 IL 1i171-'1- -17 i I 17'7 14 fyr 4 'f ''t il 1 ip'7 01 i ''4 '1 il 411 '14 1 IN i'i 7 IL' A 'NI 0 The Lindsay girls and Stratford and Wynnewood boys earned final bcrths in tbe Garvin county high school basketball tournament night The Lindsay girls downed Strat ford 2I-lia in the semifinal mateh at Wacker park gymnasium They went auainst Elmore City in the Ifirms Saturday night In boys' action Friday night I Wynnewood won over LitalsaY 41- 48 in a close game and Stratford edged out Pauls Valley 27-25 Wynrewood and Stratford nal in the finals Saturday night All games Friday were tightly tI6 4 2 i' otL1- f1- A dao oak mkt i 4 ON 111E SIDE of the rulesmakers however we have to admit that something has been done at long last to change that points rt cr rocedme anti eliminate tie games The change has been praised and criticized Most coaches and almost all are in favor of the change The reasoning is simple It adds a bit of interest to one of the drab plays of a game and it will eliminate ties played with three points the largent margin of any game Wynnewood boys ntayed in front of Lindsay the game but the victey was revr sure until the finish Wyetiewood led 13-12 at the end of the firia quarter lien spread Cie margIn to faqr points 25-21 at the half At the (md (if the third period Wynnewood held the same margin at 31-27 Lindsay scored 11 points to Mr Wynnewood to the final frore 41-38 The Faith Valley-Stratford boys' game followed much the same order The tf-tains w'Isre tied at 7-ai1 at the Lrst quarter hot Stratford went fillPad 15 to 12 at the half Mink Vaill'y baCk Aithin two points 20-18 at the close of the third period but Stratford kept this margin for die 27-25 Avin Stratford made Lindsay get their victory the hard way in the girls' sentilinal competition Friday Ilk 4'4 1 A '044 4117 kr 0)C114 It 7-iFY 57743Z Cc): a h'')R535 7-0 i'W 7" e2 A741 A) 0 0 C24 4 5 774 L2 A it 40474F-7 2574 46 441 4 'S 72'5 k4VR 7 ty to Splalcate-1 marshall Regains Led 011E112 NEW YOR-rt Mar -4 A 41 P4'415 4 i t' il 4 i 4(7 A 0 4 rI: 4 04 4 oti 3' 7 A I 4 044 '''i 1 I 0 is c' :4 lc i 'I It: et i erll '4 4' 'i 'Ilq '17 jel-'X 4'!
