KENNARD's DROP DICK.
Harvard's Back Practiced Three Months to Beat Vale in Ten Seconds.

Bill Reid. Jr.. ex-fullback and foot ball coach. tells many interesting and enlightening stories of football strat- egy in the American Magazine. One story he tells is as follows:
 When Victor Kennard of Harvard kicked the drop kick which won the Harvard Yale game last year, many people called it luck. That drop kick was really started early in the spring of 1908, when Kennard,. in anticipa- tion of just some such situation as this. began to school himself. into a master of drop kicking.
 "AIl through July, August and Sep tember he practised, studying the de- tail of fhe kick and perfecting the fundamentals. In the evenings he took his ball home with him and made a detailed study of the art of dropping 1t so that it would rebound accurately and at the right distance from his foot. He spent periods of 20 min utes at time standing against wall and swinging his leg alongside of it in an effort to develop an absolutely straight and accurate leg drive. When he returned to college he had so far mastered these details that on one occasion he kicked SO successive goals from within his limits, and at another 55. To be sure, this was not done under pressure.
 "Kennard was given three opportun- ities to try for goals in regular games. The first chance came in the opening game of the season-that with Bow doin-in which he failed of an easy goal. His second try was in the Springfield training school game. at a distance of 35 yards, and he made it. His third try, which came in the Indian game. at a distance of Az yards and from point close to the side lines was failure, only, however. because the ball did not have the necessary carry The direction was good but the kick fell five yards short. Noth- ing further developed until the team went to Pennington, and then Haugh- ton told Kennard that it had been de- cided that in case Harvard got the ball inside of Yale's 25-yard line with the third down and more than two to gain, that he was to be given a chance to drop kick.
 'Kennard told Nourse that if he were called on for a kick he did not wish the pass delayed any longer than was absolutely necessary for him to get his position and allow the protec- tive backs to get theirs. Nothing was said to the rest of the team about It. but every detail was carefully worked out rehearsed and perfected. It was decided that in order to save every fraction of a second an&'thereby make the surprise of the Yale team the greater, that upon going upon on the field Kennard should walk backward into his kicking position in order that he might keep Nourse always in line with the middle point of the cross bar, making unnecessary any further adjustment except that of distance Then, that there might be no visible sign by which any vigilant Eli might surmise what was going to happen Kennard and sNourse agreed upon a private signal for the passing of the ball. A slight movement of two fin e-s it was, and preparation was com plete,

THOMPSON PASTOR
Won a Wealthy and Accomplished Bride by Accident of Being Late.

double flash, head-of column story accompanied by the minister's picture in Mondays New York World, read as follows:
 The engagement of Miss Faith Trumbull Mathewson, cousin of May or Mcclellan, to the Rev. Arnold Van c. P. Huizinga of Thompson, Conn.,, has just been announced in that vil- lage, which is the summer home of many families known in society in this city and Boston. The marriage will take place before Christmas. Miss Mathewson is a lineal descendant of Gov. Jonathan Trumbull. Her father is D. Arthur Mathewson of Washing ton and New York.
 The clergyman she is to marry is a Hollander, thirty-five years old. They met for the first time in Au- gust at fair in the Thompson church of which he is the pastor. He is now congratulating himself on having over stayed a vacation in Europe, for when he did return he found that he had lost his professorship of philosophy in the university of Iowa. While wait ing for another college place he ac- cepted the vacant pastorate of the Thompson Congregational church. Otherwise he would not have met Miss MathewSon at the fair.
 Dr. Huizinga was graduated from the university of Gronigen in 1895, came to this country in 1901, and three years later was graduated from the Yale divinity school. He was or

ACADEMY FOOTBALL NOTES.

Coach Bunnell gave the boys lay off from practice on Monday.
 The Academy second eleven has a blank schedule so far this week.
 Norwich critics agree that Bulkeley showed up the best team in five or six years.
 The next scheduled game for the N. F. A. is on the campus on Saturday against Windham High.
 The Academy gets another rap at Bulkeley on the Norwich campus on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
 Bulkeley caught the N. F. A. boys in a midseason slump caused by the dropping out of the Westerly High game a week ago.
 ,- Captain Gallivan's eleven came through the game in fine shape as to injuries, only a couple of black eyes showing after Saturdays hard strug- gle.
 If Bulkeley had furnished the umpire with a horn, as is required by the rules, and not with a whistle, there would not have been the mixup which gave the New London boys one touch- down.
 As a team Bulkeley proved itself faster in every respect save one. The Norwich ends, Gallivan mad Hendrick. OOlil NGlCItIS, ROStCAiO anu Arnold, the Bulkeley ends, says New London exchange. That's all right, but Hendrick is the Academy quarterback. Welles, the Norwich right tackle, was the individual star of the game. Towering head and shoulders above any of the Bullleley team, it generally required two or three men to stop the tackle when he got under way. On the defensive he was not so strong. Viets playing well against him.-New London Day.
 As Worth was the only timekeeper and no one in the crowd held a watch on the game, a definite charge that the time was not correctly kept would be unjust, but to Bulkeley partisans and disinterested persons the timekeeping seemed erroneous, to say the least New London Day. That's fair enough, Brother Day, but anyone who has ever had any experience keeping time knows how near the guesswork of a crowd can be depended upon, especial ly when time if often taken out for de- laws

New York, Oct. 25.-That both Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson mean bus mess and will sign articles of agree ment without much haggling over de- tails is the conviction of New York sporting men who have seen and talk ed with both fighters during the past few weeks. The articles of agreement will be signed before the present week ends, if all goes well, and then the businss of accepting an offer from some club will be in order.

He is quoted as ready to sign ar ticles at once and willing to fight with in thirty days. Of course, it would be impossible to pull off the fight with in thirty days and Johnson is exag- gerating little when he mentions so early a date. But If he wants to sign I'D in a hurry he will find me ready to meet him halfway. The truth is, I am eager to get a crack at John- son
 Jeffries took things easy today after his five miles or so of road work with sam Berger. his manager, yesterday. He spent most of the day in chats with visitors and friends. Tomorrow he plans to visit Cooper's gymnasium for a thorough workout.

There is one thing I am against and that is any bids for the fight in Aus traIia. The fight must take place either in this country or in England, and I am sure the bidding here will be stronger than anything England could offer.
