from the enemy's goal line. That was
the era when beef and Drawn pre-
vailed; when most teams scoifed ut
scoring field goal while even the re-
hottest chance remained for a touch
down.
But new football which has made
the game one where fast, tricky but
light men prevail has developed punt
ing and drop.klcking to the highest
possible standard. A dozen attempts
now are made for field goals where one
was made In the bygone days. There.
fore, many long-distancs drOp-kicks
IRE being registered.
During 1915 exactly 40 field goals
from the 4O-yard line or better were
made. That is almost as many rs were
accomplished in ten years by the old
timers who used to scrlmmage where
men of today kick. Payne, with his
G3-yard boot, tops the list of distance
kickers for 1915. Wilcox follows with
55-yard wallop, Guernsey of Yale, who
kicked 53 yards against Princeton, Is
third. J. l.. Cody Of Vanderbilt, s. Ewing
Of Penn State and q. Parker of Du-
buque are tied for fourth place with
5O-yard kicks. Parker, by the way,
booted two from that distance. The
others slip down from As yards by G.
c. Pultz of Purdue to II kicks from the
4O-yard line made by players In differ
ent sections of the country.
And, from the way the coaching per.
sons talk and the dopesters dope, one
is led to believe that the day Of kicking
has just begun; that what was done In
1915 won't be anything remarkable In
comparison with what will be accom-
plished this year when the gridirOn
stars finally unlOOsen their boots.
