Every Saturday produces something

Every Saturday produces something sensational in goal kicking. Last Saturday O'Brien of Swarthmore came to the front once more, rivaling the feat of Capron of Minnesota in making three drop kicks in one game, O'Brien is said to have kicked no less than ten field goals this season. If that is the case his toe alone has counted for forty of the III points by Swarthmore--more than third of the total.
