Fullerton's Roundup On Pro Football Tie Rule Proposals
National Football League owners discuss abolishing the point after touchdown and adopting a sudden death overtime. A rouge rule from Canadian football provides a one point backstop if a punt into the end zone is not returned. The piece envisions fewer ties, more kick returns, and spicier scoring, with critique of the sudden death idea. It cites Les Horvath and Hollywood headlines, plus minor league umpire supervision news and a note on Bill Carenter.
