DAVIS AN EXPERT.

Parke Davis, who ranks among the
best ends in Princeton football history,
and who has been serving as umpire in
some of the important Middle Western
football games-this fall, was an expert
when in college in the uses of the on
side kick. Davis relates that one of
the first things the Princeton players
used to find out in this connection was
back and quarterback of the opposing
team. When Princeton tried the onside
kick Davis and the rest of the Tiger
team would rush down the field shout
ing Let 1t go, Harry" or whatever
the first name of the opposing player
happened to be. According to Davis,
this greatly confused the opnosing nav
ers In trying TO catch the kick. and Of
ten they would either allow the ball to
touch the ground or muff 1t altogether.
