KICKING GOkLs FROM
 T0UCHDOWKS LOST ART
Many Games. This Season Thrown Away Because of Failure in
 This Department

Of 225 football games this fall there are to be found 39 instances of one or the other of the competing teams making a total of six points and 36 instances in which the total points for one of the teams was seven. The point in connection with these results is that there have been many failures in converting touchdowns into goals about the easiest kicking process there is by which to acquire points. It is easier than drop kicking because of the fixed and short distance, and easier than placement kicking from a fair catch because of the shorter dis tance. True the angle often is diff cult. but the scoring team had the privilege of a puntout to get a better angle, and it is surprising that the puntout isn't tried oftener.
 There was case recently of a player bringing ball out from touch- down and putting it to the ground before his kicker was in position the defending side immediately charging, but that play belongs strictly to the concrete cerebellurn class and is an exception It is likely of course that a few of the cases of a total of six points are due to two goals from the field, but they are to small num- ber to count.
 More touchdowns have been con-
