from the enemy's goal line. That was
the era when beef and Drawn pre-
vailed; when most teams scoffed at
scoring field goal while even the re-
motest chance remained for touch
down.
But new football which has made
the game one where fast, tricky but
light men prevail has developed punt
ing and drop-kicking 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.distance drop-kicks
are being registered.
During 1915 exactly 40 field goals
from the 40-yard line or better were
made. That Is almost as many as were
accomplished in ten years by the old
timers who used to scrimmage where
men of today kick. Payne, with his
&-yard boot, tops the list of distance
kickers for 1916. Wilcox follows with
55-yard wallop, Guernsey Of Yale, who
kicked So yards against Princeton, is
third. j. L. Cody of Vanderbilt, s. Ewing
of Penn State and G. 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 4S yards by C.
G. Pultz Of Purdue to ii kicks from the
40-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.
