Pros Favor Two Changes In NFL Rules
Two revolutionary changes may be introduced at the NFL meeting in New York on January 17. A group of club owners favors abolishing the point after touchdown and adopting the sudden death method for deciding tie games. They argue the extra points are almost automatic and teams have specialists in the area.
