Berkeley Lines: 14 My brother favors a rule where each team has a twelfth member known as the sniper. He would sit in the press box with a high-powered rifle and a single bullet. There would be no restrictions on how he could use this bullet; he might shoot the opposing quarterback, the ball (useful if a long pass is about to be completed), the opposing owner, the other sniper, or anyone or anything else, but he may only use one bullet. If the game went into overtime, the snipers would each get another bullet. This, of course, would be known as "sudden death." Wayne Citrin (ucbvax!citrin) P.S. Ask me about my plan to lower basketball scores by putting goalies on top of the backboards.
