DROP KICKER IS FEARED
Good Man in This Line of Foot Ball
Play Is Valuable Asset
to Any Team.

An accurate drop kicker is ofttimes
as greatly feared as all his colleagues
banded together. Yet so far this sea-
son but few reports have been heard Of
long and timely field goals.
To many. however. 1t seems as but
yesterday that Charlie Brickley was
booting them over from all angles. and
what Is even better. from all distances.
The toe OF the Harvard back was
known far and wide as a scoring ma
chine in itself. Tibet Of Princeton.

hooters all earned much fame through
their kicking ability and all were re-
spected by opposing teams as danger
Gus men. likely at any time to sail the
pigskin through the uprights for de-
Gliding score.
Games are often won or lost entirely
by the spiral shooter of an eleven. and
IL the art of drop kicking is also a part
Of the punters repertoire, his value to
his team Is increased many fold.
Is there a dearth of good kickers or
do the coaches undervalue that depart
ment of the game? In either case the
combination having a sure drop kicker
to fall back on is virtually always the
most dangerous.

FORTUNE IS UNK|ND
TO HOWARD BERRY
Fame of One of Foot Balls
Greatest Backs Dimmed by
Weak Penn Team.

Fate plays odd pranks with the ca
reers Of many Of the greatest athletes.
There was Larry Lajoie. nonparel OF
second basemen and one Of the greatest
batters that ever lived. Fate ordained
that in 20 years Of service in the major
leagues the noted Frenchman should
never know the glory of playing on a
championship team. Consider the case
of Howard Berry. foot ball star OF the
University of Pennsylvania.
There is not the slightest doubt In
greatest backs that ever trod the grid
iron. He has done everything well.
He is fine punter and drop kicker,
good line plunger, a hard man to down
ward pass with unerring skill. Yet
Berry will end his foot ball career
without having the honor and inspira-
ton of playing on great team
the play of his team and reaches the
heights Of greatness that he has,
should be rated beyond men like Eddie
Mahan, Charley Brickley or Charley
for them by the support of players
very nearly of their own ability.
The Best Of His Day.
If Howard Berry had gone to Har-
ward. the University Of Pittsburgh or
Colgate University three years ago. no
name would CLEAN beyond his on the
| heights of foot ball glory. With the
teams that helped make Mahan's name
to the regulations of Hastings and De
Hart and Anderson, West. Clio and
Hubbard. Howard Berry would have
swept to the crest like a tornado.
That he was considered by many the
ranking fullback in the east in 1916
speaks volumes for Berry's ability. 1t
places him bit beyond any back of
his day in this section of the country.
1t Is one thing to be possessed Of SUI
perlative ability. 1t is another to have
1t recognized. And in the sporting world
the reputation of the individual is often
made or unmade by the fate Of his
team.
Berry first played at Pennsylvania
| three years ago when the Red and Blue
had sunk to the depths in foot ball. He
was the storm center 'of dissension
against the existing coaching regime
that resulted in his leaving the Penn
squad in midseason.
Berry Lone Star.
Bob Folwell came to coach at Penn
last year. Berry returned to the team
Folwell accomplished wonders with the
material at his disposal, but he could
not turn out an eleven of real power
Berry was his ace. and Berry played
great foot ball. In the Cornell game
Heinie Miller. now captain of Penn
displayed brilliant form But through
the sweep Of the seasons play Berry
worked practically unaided.
This is Berry's last season on the
gridiron. Penn has a team that is far
from a championship aggregation. 1t
played good foot ball against Pitts
burgh. but lost the game 1t was
showed under by Georgia Tech
Howard Berry, therefore, will pass
out Of the collegiate ranks without
ever knowing the glory Of playing on
a great eleven. He owes nothing to
fate. He has fought his way to recogni-
ton as a player of remarkable skill,
despite the schedule allotted him by
the destiny that shapes our ends.

Today's Heavies Poor.

These heavies of today certainly are
lacking in championship caliber. Here's
the big fellow. Fred Fulton, from Min
nesota. who is endowed with all the
fistic attainments given to any man.
He has learned a lot about boxing, he
knows how to hit. and. Furthermore, he
is a fairly good defensive miller as
heavyweights go. But il he has all
these things, why isn't he a high class
battler? is the question that will be
asked.
Now for the answer. and it is an easy
one With all his advantages Fulton
falls to be topnotcher because he
does not possess a fighting spirit
That's why Fulton doesn't match up
In the championship class
Now. take Carl Morris. Morris isn't
as fortunate as Fulton. He knows lit
tie about boxing. he is not a good hit
ter. and he makes no pretense at de-
fensive battling. When he tackles an
opponent. he wades in wide open, TAX
ing what ever his opponent has in the
way OF punches until he gets close,
then whales away with both hands
wildly for the head and body. He's
just rough-and-ready walloper, en-
tirely lacking in the science Of the
game. But there's one thing that can
be said for Carl, he can take the gan.
No matter how hard he is punched he
sticks to mis- knitting. and no one ever
accused him of being ready to Jump
over the ropes.
