none and against opponents 219. OF
course the calibre of opponents has some

a pretty good team that can average more
than fifty points game.

There's a tale OF exceptional expertness
with the toe IN connection with the Will
Jams record De Windt OF that college
has dropkicked a goal in each OF the
four games. He made one against II. y.
7. and In the next game with Vermont
he won for his side and made the only
points by putting the bail over from the
twenty-five yard line. He duplicated that
feat agains, Dartmouth and saved Will
Jams from a whitewash. Last Saturday
against the Springfield Training School
he kicked a field goal from the a. yard
line He IL the most diligent and effec.
tive field goal man in these parts.
