COLLEGE PARK. Nd, Oct, 10
The University of Maryland has not
tho greatest football team in the
country but it boasts the best pun.
ter in our fair land in Brooke
Brewer, its crack right halfback.
That Brewer is able 10 kick far.
Their than any other booter in the
United States is the opinion Of all
coaches who have seer this great
punter in action. In all the games
OF last season and this year his
kicks have averaged bettor Than 60
yards and some of his spirals have
floated a distance of ver 20 yards.
BrNyer, who is champion Splinter
of the south and who has a record
Of . As seconds for the century
dash, is not a big fellow as many
would think from his great hooting
performances but weighs 154
pounds and is only 3 feet S inches
tall. However, he has the knack OF
getting the ball of for great dis
tances just as some light men have
the knack of putting the 16-pound
shot or throwing the hammer can
