GRID SCORING
 IS BECOMING
 MORE COMMON
It Used To Be Seldom Big Teams Were Tailed Against, But New Rules Have Changed All This; News of Amateur Sport.
rAssocIArEn pREss nIspArcnl

NEW YORK, oct. Z5.-As the foot ball season progresses the teams of big universities of both the east and middle west are finding it more diff ficult each week to keep their score slates clear Time was when the colleges forming the Big Six and Big Nine" felt that their escutch- cons had been plotted if the eleven of a minor institution scored upon their team. With the coming of the so-called open game conditions changed. Scoring against Yale liar ward and Princeton in the east and Michigan, Minnesota and Chicago in the middle west is no longer un- common. In most cases, however the score is made via the aerial route and is due more to the personal kicking ability of one player than to the team as a whole.
 During the early part of the present season such scores were frequent, and the manner in which the little teams were scoring on the big varsity elevens led to a discussion at a uni versitv club as to whether the mo- uern kicker was more proficient in his particular part of football play than in the past. It was the con
 
 former football stars present tha |, while the ability of the average col lege drop-kicker had advanced, the famous punters and kickers of the past were in no danger of losing the laurels to which their brilliant per formances entitled them.
 Tn order to prove their contention the old-timers quoted some authenti- cated field goals scored from drop and placement kicks that startled the i youngsters about the table. It was agreed that the 62-yard drop kick field goal made by Pat O'Dea, Of Wisconsin, in the game with North western in 1898, formed the record ] for this method of scoring, while J i Y Haxall, of Princeton, held the re l cord for a goal from placement with i his 65-yard score against Yale ir 1 1882.
