COMPLETE RECORDS Show Captain Hollenback, Of U. of P, Again Leader of
 Touchdown Producers,
COY, OF YALE, IS SECOND
BaIenti, of Indians, Premier Field Goal Kiclser-Scarlctt Wonderful
 Toe Artist.

Captain Hollenback of Pennsylvania continues 10 head the list of touch down producers with nine trips across the last chalk mark to his credit. Coy of Yale, however aided by the Az gles' game, Is a close second with eight touohdowns opposite his name. White of Harvard and Walder of Cor nell press the leaders closely with seven scoring rushes paiece to their credit. Scarlett now holds the premier position of the goal from touchdown artists, having sent the ball between the posts seventeen times, for the ex- tra point Scarlett has developed won derfully as goal kicker and has regis tered 1T per cent. of his attempts. Northcroft of the Navy is another pro flcient one-point artist, having fifteen successful attempts to his credit.
 In striking contrast to the excellent booting of these two players is tho me- diocre work of yale's toe artists. The New Haven kickers have registered exactly 30 per cent. of their one-point tries and goal kicking Is evidently the weakest point of the Bulldog, combina' ton. A new star has jumped Into the field goal limelight, namely Balenti oi the Indians, who defeated the Navy on Saturday on four place kicks. With Thorpe and Balenti, the Carlisle eleven appears to be the most powerfully equipped combination in the country in tho field goal department, Penn sylvania also showed the possession Of toe artist when Jack Means, the former Ohio State star. landed two pretty place kicks in Saturdays game with Caruegle's Tech
