Norwich players that bodies were inter
locked Like the thrust of a piston,

ing slightly iowa rd the side line so as to
obtain the use Of one arm TO block off

and out among the remaining defenders
until he had passed every one when in
dozen mighty strides he dashed across

touchdown. the only scoring play of the

Games and Titles That We're Lost
and Won bv Goal After Touchdown

From the early days of the intercol-
legiate game the goal following touch
down ever has been a subject of burn
ing and bitter discussion. It's opponents
have contended II should be abolished
from football because 1t is the act of q
single player and because 1t involves a
large element of chance. The advocates
of the play. however. contend that II is
a historical feature which has been in
the sport since the days of Tom Brown
of Rugby. and when games are other
wise tie victory should be determined
in some way. even though it is deter
mined by single player. Victory in
not many games this fall has hinged
upon PLAYS % this character, but II has
been the deciding play in two battles
OF major Importance.
In the game between Michigan and
Illinois each eleven made a touchdown.
Michigan secured its touchdown in the
second period on a brilliant 75-yard run
by John Dunn. the VOL ru
back, who had intercepted a forward
pass His attempt at goal. howe er.

goal. BY the narrow margin of this
goal Illinois thereby virtually eliminated
Michigan from the Western intercolle-
giate championship race.
One Point victories.
Ohio States proud position also de-
pepds upon one of these goals rom

between Chicago ond Ohio State. Chi
cago started the battle with a whlrl-
wind determination to win. Within sx
minutes Edward Palmer the Chicago
fullback, had picked up a tumble and
raced forty-five yards for a touchdown.
Jackson of Chicago, however. missed
the goal. From that point on until the
last eight minutes of the game oh o
State struggled In vain 20 score. Tn the
last few minutes OF play Harry Work
man OF Ohio State threw n 2j-yard pass

the ball on Chicago's lO-yard line. From
here three smashing line plays carried
the ball over. Charles Taylor the full

kicked the goal thereby defeating Chi

from further championship aspirations.

Victories on Touchdowns From
FumbIeS We're Rare During Season

Fumbles this fall fortunately have
been few; touchdowns from fumbles
have been rare and victories from FUN
bles only three. Victory by this method
perhaps may be inglorious, but when
achieved In the final crises OF a game
intended to try out stout hearts and
steady nerves 1t is legitimate
companion to the other plays of the
game and certainly not less thrilling
because of questionable aristocracy.
Lafayette is playing Pennsylvania and
pressing hotly and continuously for a
score. Out of predicament and bad
position the Pennsylvanians emerge time
and time again. Lafayette, however.
lacks the smash to score. Late In the
struggle with the score still to Lafay-
cite forms TO punt from its 80 yard line.
The formation is a ruse as an end run is
attempted. The incxplicable occurs, the
ball is fumbled and falls to the ground.
Joseph Strauss, fullback of Pennsyl-
vania. who Is supporting the line flashes
forward, seizes the ball and dashes
past the helpless Lafayette players for
the only score of the game.
The second game OF this character
brings us again to our friend B. r..
Macchia Of Tufts. To-day Tufts is play
ing Bowdoin. The setting is similar
to the Lafeyette-P Pennsylvania catas-
trophe. The two teams cannot score
by plays OF force or craft Bowdoin is
desperately attempting to circle Tufts's
outpost when the tumble occurs and
Macchla OF Tufts Is on the ball. Unlike
Strauss, however. ten cleaning chalk
marks are between Macchia and the
Bowdoin goal line and the Bowdoin
backfield men have time TO range into
position to intercept Macchia, but they
are competing with almost the feetest
pair OF feet In all football. and in the
match Of speed TO speed the Bowdoin
players lose. Macchia crosses the line
and wins the game.
Another surprise awaiting us in the
voluminous data Of football In the en-
tire national terrain is to find only two
games which have been won directly
from intercepted forward passes. These
two instances occurred. respectively in
the Princeton-W West Virginia and wes-
leyan-Amherst games. In the first en-
counter Princeton was striving to
avenge the defeat OF 1919. West vir-
ginia, nevertheless. pressed aggresslvely
onward determined to administer an
other defeat to Princeton. At the out
set OF the fray Johnson OF West Vir-
ginia had put his team In the lead by
goal from the field. In the third
period Murrey OF Princeton had tied
the score by goal from the field.
The game finally neared its end, and
the followers of both teams had be-
come resigned to a draw. In last
desperate attempt to win Martin OF
West Virginia threw a long forward
pass down the field. II was a spot
pass" that Is a pass thrown to GER
tain spot on the field regardless Of the
receiver, who is expected TO reach the
spot with the ball. Garrity OF Prince
ton swiftly ranged into position to In
tercept the ball. AS the ball neared
the ground II looked az though Il would
fall into a mass of heads and shoulders
arms and bodies, so thickly had both
teams reached the spot. out of this
mass, however. Carrlty suddenly leaped
into the air, high above the reach OF

all other players and so caught the
ball. The ball had been intercepted on
the 80 yard line. Wriggling loose from
the mass OF men. Garrity swung swiftly
into flight and raced for West vir-
ginia's goal line, too fleet to be inter-
oepted or overtaken, and thus the game
was won.
The second game to be won in this
manner presents a remarkable exploit
on the part of big. heavy guard, Fred
F. Dowln OF Wesleyan. link OF Am
herst had attempted TO throw a forward
pass to Wing Dowlin of Wesleyan
actually picked the ball from Wings
chest as 1t struck. The goal line glls-
tened sixty-flve yards away. and Dow
lin was never intended by nature to
compete in speed. Nevertheless the big
guard kept we'll to the front In the
great race that ensued, crossed the line
and won the game.
One OF most conspicuous condolences
OF play throughout the country this fall
has been the startling number Of blocked
kicks These have exceeded many times
the total number in previous years. The
cause is not obscure. In recent years
elevens on the defensive have not con-
centrated their strength in attempts TO
block kicks. The necessity to spread the
defence to guard against runs and for
ward passes forced sacrifice In the
block kicking art. Similarly. many
elevens preferred to allow the kick to be
delivered In order to gain the opportu-
n.ty for run back Of the ball through a
broken field. The offensive side respon-
sively has weakened the protection af-
forded the kicker and this at last has
Invited return of systematic attempts
IN force to block the kicks.
The New York herald., 1920-12-05

the referee pronounced the play touch
down. AS the game terminated it con-
stituted the only score of the day.
The second curious play to win game
occurred in the Notre Dame Indiana
struggle. game Of some magnitude to
be the scene of a play of this character.
Notre Dame had the ball and lined up
in close formation. AS the ball was
about to be put in play one of the Notre
Dame backs called out, Watt" Joseph
Brandy the Notre Dame quarterback,
Strengthened up behind his centre. and
the three backs gathered together and
held a whispered conference. In the
meantime the Indiana players also re-
laxed. Brandy thereupon unostetatious-
ly took the ball from the centre and
stepped through the Indiana line, but
once through he leaped into prodigious
strides and set sail for Indiana's goal
line. which he reached, thereby winning
the game.
The third football battle to be won In
curious manner was the Georgia
Alabama struggle. In this game Georgia
defeated Alabama 21 to IA, making all
three touchdowns on plays which orig
inally began with the ball in possession
of Alabama. The first play started from
line plunge by Alabama in which the
ball was fumbled. Page Bennett of Ala
bama picked IL up and ran forty-two
yards for touchdown. The second play
began In an attempt to punt by Ala
bama. Wechel of Georgia blocked the
kick. and Pew, recovering the ball. ran
ten yards for the touchdown. The third
play finds Alabama about to punt on it's
Is yard mark Again Wechel of Georgia
blocks the ball. Cheeves. the Georgia
quarterback, captures it and runs eighty
two yards for the winning touchdown of
the day. making the longest run from
blocked punt to a touchdown achieved
upon any gridiron in the United States
during the season.
ToucbdOwns From kfckoffs.
The rarest and most difficult feat in
football Is to catch the ball on the kick
off and run through an entire opposing
eleven to a touchdown. Out of the many
thousands of kickoffs In the country this
fall only nine plays of this character
have occurred. But II these plays are
rare. what adjective shall we use to
designate a play of this character which
wins a gamer Only two have occurred
In the annals of all football. In 1899
Edward G. Bray of Lafayette. on the
opening play of the Lafayette-Pennsyl-
vania game, caught the ball on the kick
of and ran 100 yards for a touchdown
and the only score of the day.
