 The honor of the longest drop kick, 62 yards. belongs to P. J. ODea of Wisconsin, and was kicked in the Northwestern Wisconsin game of No vernber 25, 1898. Wisconsin opened the contest by resorting to the kicking game, O'Dea doing the bunting. Two exchanges had taken place, and O'Dea again was sent back to punt the ball.

His foot struck the leather with a tremendous impact and straight and true the ball spun over the long distance and crossed the bar squarely above the center, and with eight feet to spare.

During the fetf ssason, the imports of Italian automobiles to the Uuftsd States was valued at tlS6,7se. as against t295.o13 in 1910 and ts7l. ess ln 1909.
