    Last week we commented on the lost art of drop kicking and the number of games that are won and lost for failure to score the point after touchdown. Saturday Harvard beat Dartmouth and Georgia beat New York University by a lone point. the score be- ing 7–⁠6 in both instances. Good drop kickers are scarce in football circles we can only infer. Nine times out of ten the kick for goal is by placement. Here’s chance for some enterprising youngster to make the grade.
