Says Jim Thorpe

Since getting the low-down on the
matter of drop and place kicks from
so eminent an authority as Jim
Thorpe, j have kept close tab on
results in games that I have seen.
My figures show the place kick
to be far more efficient method
of trying to score q point after
touchdown, or going after three points.
While the odds are not two 20 one,
the yare mighty close to it.
Recently in two very important
Big Ten games 1 had the opportunity
to appreciate the difference between
the two methods.

Old Records Stand

During the past few years there
has been a revival of the goal from
field play as a scoring weapon. For
a time the forward pass had crowded
out its real value.
Any number of important games
this fall have been decided by a
goal from the field. Friedman OF
Michigan in the west and Hamilton
of the Navy in the east have used
the play 20 great advantage.
However, none of the modern kick
ers has come close to the collegiate
performances of Walter Eckersall
and Charley Brickley.
Back in 1905, Eckersall scored five
times against Illinois on drop kicks.
The following sasoh he repeated the
feat against Nebraska. In 1913
Charley Brickley made five field
goals for Harvard against Yale.

Line plays Part

r 3
I have heard the drop and place
kick debate discussed by a number
of players noted for their ability
as experts, and the contention made
by most of them is thai the line
has much to dor with any successful
attempt at field goal whether it
is from placement or a drop.
It is impossible to get accuracy or
any kind of kick that is hurried.
In such cases it is largely matter
of trying to get the ball away
without being blocked and trusting
to luck.
AS in many other things, partic-
ularly in the advancing of the ball,
the line never gets the proper credit,
the real glory usually being slipped
to the kicker or ball carrier.
