CHICAGO, Nov. 25-Clarence Hershber-
ger the full back of the University of Chi
cago, made name for himself in football
history to-day by making three successful
place kicks in the game between the Uni
versities of Chicago and Michigan. One of
them was so difficult that the attempt
would have seemed foolhardy had not his
team been well in the lead. One was made
in the first half from the seventeen-yard
line and two in the second half. one from
the thirty-yard line, the ball at the time
being right in front of the goal posts. But
the kick which brought twelve thousand
people to their feet occurred about fifteen
minutes later. The ball at the time was
not more than five yards from the side lines
and twenty-five yards from the goal, and
when the strong-limbed half back and Cor
don Clarke dropped back with the evident
intention of attempting the play, Chicagos
supporters were amazed. The ball was
passed cleanly and Clarke placed it on the
thirty-hve-yard line. An instant later the
ball was sailing high in the air. 1t dropped
squarely between the posts and new foot
ball record had been made.
The game, which was played in the Coli
scum, was kicking contest from start to
showed his superiority over Hannah. of the
Michigan team. An exchange of punts
would invariably net Chicago all the way
from five to twenty yards. The right end
of the line proved to be Michigan's weakest
point, and when Chicago was running with
the ball most of the gains were made there.
Bennett and Steckle were both worn out
from the hammering directed against them.
