RandnII's Great Feat.

The longest run OF the year to score
a touchdown with an intercepted for
ward pass was reeled off by l.. c. RAN
dall. half back extraordinary, OF Georgia.
Randall's run covered ninety yards and
was made through tho strong Mercer
eleven. The play occurred in the second
quarter of the game. Mercer had the
ball on Georgia's 20 yard line and was
eagerly pressing forward for score.
Cecil, Mercer's quarterback. signaled for
a forward pass. Rodgers to Consuelo
Smith, the latter MERGERS right end.
The pass was flung as ordered, but

A second long run with captured

of the year. This is dash of ninety

Georgetown through Bucknell. The first
quarter of this game closed with Buck
rell standing on Georgetown's yard
line with the ball. grim and greedy for
the touchdown only three yards away.
The teams changed goals. The Buck
nell eleven grittily set in its tracks for
the plunge that was to score. Foster
of the Pennsylvania sharply called a
chain of signals. The ball was passed
TO Denton and the human battering ram
swung into action. Quick as had been
the charge of the Bucknell men the
charge of Georgetown was quicker. An
avalanche of fierce humanity clad in
the blue and gray OF Georgetown struck
Denton and he dropped the ball. Malley,
who in fullback position was backing
up the "Hilltoppers's" line. leaped out
upon the field of play and bending over
as he ran seized the ball upon the
ground and was Off Nnety-seven diff
cult yards lay between him and Buck

the flying Malley that without being
overtaken he covered the long route and
touched down. thus scoring the first OF
three touchdowns scored that day by
Georgetown. which Unexpectedly won
for them a victory over Bucknell.

Punts run back TO touchdown this
fall have been surprisingly rare. This
is due to the ingenious defences de
vised by the generals of the greensward
to prevent such reversals OF offensives
and to the strategic policies of punting
teams TO safeguard catching punts and
TO safeguard the catcher. A familiar
.sight in all games of the season has
been that of a back signalling for a
fair catch. The object of the regularity
of this maneuver not only has been to
lessen the chances for a tumble but the
more important advantage to protect
valuable back from injury. Runbacks
of punts seldom exceed ten yards and
frequently terminate in the injury OF
the runner. Coaches. therefore. have
prudently done away with this type of
runs as not worth the risks of fumbles
and injuries. In order however, that
an opponent may not be able TO rely
upon the certainty Of fair catch an
occasional run back of punt is
ordered. In several startling crises this
fall these unexpected run backs have
swept through to touchdowns and in
one instance 10 a victory when all other
offensives failed.
MaIoncy stars for Rutgers.
To Francis L. Maloney of Rutgers
goes the honor OF having caught an
opponents punt and with il made the
longest run of the year to a touchdown.
His run covered eighty-seven yards and
Maloney caught the ball standing on
Ills 10 yard line. As his position was to
the left OF the center OF the field he
adopted the regulation stratagen or
separating the defence by running dag
Cnally toward the right. With the
methodlcal and precise training that
characterizes a football eleven coached
by George Sanford. the Rutgers inter
ference instantly aad accurately swung
into action. man against man. Down

and Smith blocked and bowled.
Running with Maloney was Henry
BcnIert who took out two men in
succession In as any seconds. Ma
lcney was now running close to the
right sideline having completely crossed
tie field. Here two other Louisiana
players doomed against him and again
the sturdy Benkert took one out per-
hitting Maloney to dodge from the
other. but Benkert in so blocking here
went down himself and Maloney was
now forced to run alone. At Louisiana's
90 yard line the latters backfield safety
man leaped 20 tackle Maloney but the
latter swerved sharply to the side and
lcaped out In front OF all pursuers. The
six remaining yard lines were quickly
crossed and Maloney exhausted by the
long fight fell to the ground. behind the

tho afternoon Colgate had continually
employed a short forward pass over

thrown by Willard Morgan to Tryon.
AS the third period was we'll under way.

the fall, although there are many others
similar. The play caught Columbia un-

Growth of Field Goal Scoring.

The most notable novelty In football
evolution in recent years has been the
growth from season TO season of field
goal scoring. Not only have more games
been won this fall in this manner. but
more field goals have participated in
the total OF all points scored and more
defeated teams have scored against their
victors by field goal batteries. Similarly
there has never been a football season
in which so many long goals, goals ex
ceeding forty-five yards in length. have
been scored.
The longest field goals from dropklcks
are as follows:
Yards. Player. Team and Opponent.
a2-Charles O'Hearn. Yale VS.. Carnegie
52-S. a. Coutchie. Illinois VS. Northwestern
46-Paul Castner. .-Notre Dame vs.. Indiana
4.-John Pence. ...........C Coe VS.. Dubuque
g2-Chares Buell.. :. Harvard va Dartmouth
4l-Henry I. Brown.
Haverford VS., Johns Hopkins
4o-Harry Kipke. Michigan VS.. Ohio State
40-Herbert Covington. Centre VS.. Mississippi
4O-Herbert Covington. Centre vs. Louisville
In other years the longest goal from
the field has been kicked by some ex-
traordinary field goal man upon one OF
the smaller teams OF the United States.
This. of course, has been due to the
fact that field goal man is specialist
and that the large universities have no
monopoly on football specialists. This
year. however. tho honor of the longest
goal from the field goes TO football lumi-
naries no less than Charles O'Hearn Of
Yale and Stephen a. Coutchie OF 1lii-
nois. O'Hearn is no specialist unless
you would say that he is a specialist Ia
all departments OF play. His goal was
achieved against Carnegie.
Carnegie's strength against Yale fair
ly blazed with fire and brilliance Yale
had planned to meet this opponent with
a team composed largely OF alternates.
The drive of Carnegie. however. was so
fierce and destructive that the Blue reg
ulars rapidly were hurried into action.
Among these was Charles O'Hearn. He
had been I'm play only a few moments
when he was called upon to kick from
the SO yard mark. O'Hearn Is one OF
the rare men who can send a drop kick
as far as "A punt. on this occasion his
foot struck the ball with resounding
impact. The ball sailed aloft and went
whistling toward the goal. Notwith-
standing the long distance OF 52 Yards
IL sailed high above the crossbar and
went yards beyond the goal posts. thus
scoring one OF the two longest goals
from the field IN 1922. O'Hearn in this
same game later kicked a second goal
from the field at the distance OF 25
yards
The story OF Stephen A. Coutchie's SO
yard drop kick Is still more stirring he
cause IT was the winning play in close
game between two great teams. Illinois
and Northwestern.
