Two players share the honor of
having reeled off the longest scoring
run back Of a punt. One Of these
comes from the East and one from
the Far West. In the battle between
Colorado Agricultural team and Den

caught a punt standing on his 5-yard
line and ran through all opponents
for a touchdown and the winning
score. Two weeks later Arthur Kalen

achievement against Manhattan.
