The NFL may remove the automatic point after touchdown in 1968 preseason games and require a run or pass for one point from the two yard line. Art Modell, re-elected Browns president, said a committee will study the proposal and report at Spring meetings. If adopted, it would apply to exhibition games first and likely to regular season later. Average success on kicks after TDs has hovered around seven percent over three years.
