Points BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA Fla Nov 18 Supposing a touchdown scored by forward passing counted seven or eight points instead of six This idea is tossed into the hopper by Athletic Director Nash Higgins of the University of Tampa for the benefit of those who like to grind out suggestions for rules changes late in the fall "Allowing an additional point or two when a touchdown results directly from a pass undoubtedly would open up the game and give the spectators a chance to see more of it Higgins declared the present rules there is a definite trend toward returning to straight football after the flurry of circus stunts of a few years ago a successful pass meant more points than could be obtained by a smash at the line it seems reason- able that the boys would take to the air early and New Scoring System Higgins pointed out that the scoring rules could be modified in Wave Rolls Much As It Pleases Kellogg Sparks First Scoring Drive Bt HENRY McLEMORE United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK Nov 18 Tulane's football dinosaurs from the delta battered a game but light Columbia team all over Baker field Saturday to win as they pleased 25 to 0 before 23000 spectators Striking with three touchdowns In the first half and adding another when but fifteen seconds remained to play in the final period Tulane never was threatened Its giant line with a 23-pound per man advantage shoved the Columbia forward wall tip and down the field and through the gaping holes it opened the fleet Southern backs Kellogg Banker Golden Butler Glass Nyhan Cassi-brv and half a dozen others rolled up 272 yards In the face of such brute strength Columbia was helpless The Lions were smart and alert and agile as always but they make much more than a dent in the Tulane line Columbia's deepest invasion of enemy territory was to the 20-yard line but there the Southerners dug in and refused to budge Talane Starts Early With its first team in Tulane went 40 yards for its opening score midway in the first period with Golden and Kellogg alternating with the ball the Southerners went to a first down on the 6-yard-line and on the first stab Kellogg whammed over and then kicked the point A fumble by Columbia's hardworking back Naylor set up the second Tulane score Wenzel recovered for Tulane on 15 and in three plays Banker was over for a touchdown try for the point was blocked Early in the second quarter Nyhan put Columbia in a hole with a kick that rolled out on the half-yard line and when Naylor booted out to his own 30 Tuiane started another offensive Known as a team that does not care for the pass Tulane crossed up the Lion defense with a perfect peg from Hays to Nyman who was brought down on the 6-yard line Hays drove to the 3 and then Cassibry tore off tackle for the touchdown try for the extra point was wide Lions Fnrnish Action The third period was a dull one with Columbia furnishing what little action there was With Will and Naylor working reverses the Lions went first to 36-yard line and then to the 22 where the machinery stalled Tulane at this time seemed well content with its three touchdown advantage and was attacking listlessly Tulane substitutes of the -third and fourth generation were in the game when the Greenies struck for their final score This march was good for 34 yards A nice run by Butler carried the ball to Columbia's 17 and then Marmillion passed to Mullin for a first down on the 7 With only 15 seconds to play Butler cracked through the middle for the score Smith's kick was short and low Tulane had all the better of the statistics with 14 first downs to 7 272 yards rushing to 152 four completed passes for 46 yards against Columbia's 3 completed for 8 yards gain The victory kept Tulane among the unbeaten teams of

the Duke 32 and Bob Smith recovered for Carolina but the best they could do was get close enough for Dunkle to try a field goal from the 32 the ball falling short Those were the major threats but the game was peppered with sparkling plays slashing twisting runs by McAfees and Robinson and Siegfried and Carolina's Stirnweiss and Sweet Lalanme And also with fumbles and other misplays which kept the
