  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.

  UNTARN|SHED. RECORD IS GEORGIA AIM NEW YORK, NOV. 12.-Comparsons often are as out of line as onions in a ballroom, but fans who pick their football favorites via the comparative score method can’t be bothered about social edicts. So today they turned their eyes on the Georgia Tulane battle. which will rock the regions of Athens, Ga, this Saturday. To the comparative-Score addiets this is the most important game of the week. Searching for way to figure out how Notre Dame might be counted out Of another national gridiron title. some folks figure direct line to a successful quest lies in the Tulane Georgia fight. This all comes about because the Athens eleven, next to South Bends pseudo Irish, are the most rambling eleven of all the touring outfits. This season the Geor- -gians bounded up to historic New Haven and Socked Yale for q 26-to-T defeat. Then, after storing away safely such home-Section rivals as North Carolina, Wander. bilt and Florida. they invaded New York and wilted Chick Nee hans Violets, of New York Uni versity, 7 to 6. Big eff” Prevails If they can get past Tulane this week-we don’t think they can-they will ride into Los An geles on December II to play Southern California with one Of the fanciest untarnished states in the nation. Prior to their Cali fornia invasion the Southerners play Georgia Tech and Alabama Poly but these should prove little more than tuning-up games. It could come about that Dart mouth will beat Cornell this week and later in the season Yale will trip up Harvard and little would be needed to make Georgia look better than the East’s best.
