  KckkLOSt GriidEra S~AOSSp “AASA1 ~ JSN ally read this daily offering you, Of course, know ! am not, nothing would make me wish to seek the scalp Of my alma matters coach so vigorously as his failure to develop a good kicker on the squGd. Most especially this mid week in late November would I have such a feeling were I either a Notre Dame or Army old grad. I think nothing is so sick ening to anyone with real college alliances as to see the team come out Of a Saturdays conflict with . tied 6 to 6 score. It’s almost as bad as a loss. You’ll find a football team with Q kicker taking part in few if any locked games. Hard Work Offset Reflect, If you will, on the ardu- Gus minutes and tens of minutes and whole periods and halves Of games, too, that teams will devote to scoring six points, only to be unable to protect such advantage with that extra point which, in 50 many cases, would mean the victory when the final reckoning occurs. And failure to have a sure-fire conversion kicker around q football team can, does and has frequently meant the loss Of game, especially when a team Is being met which has Just about the same passing and power strength, but which also has a kicker who can add those points to adorn a touchdown. OF course the art of kicking is practically a forgotten one since the goal posts have been in the end zones. You see very few 80 scores any more. but you do see dozens of scores separated by but one and two points. That Is a slender thread by which to lose, yet the land over, such instances occur Saturday after Saturday largely because coaches do not dwell enough on the “point-after,” +” q cinching gesture in the present day football set.up. Hagerty, Kicking Disciple Among the smart college coaches who appreciate the value Of having a man around to boot ‘em far. high and handsome, Is Georgetown’s own Jack Hagerty. Jack comes by his appreciation Of effective kicking quite naturally, He is a student Of Lou Little, and whatever else you may say about Louis teams, you can’t say they lack kicking. If the Lion touchdowns came as easy this year, for instance, as the conversions following. Lou would soon get back that great smile OF his. In Joe Meglen, Hagerty and Georgetown, or vice versa, have an effective toe artist who has stood the Hilltoppers in good stead this season. Joe, powerful fullback and co-captain, is an accurate punter and a quick one, getting many of his boots away from close behind the line of scrimmage, thereby taking the oppon, ent’s Secondaries by surprise. You will see some Of Joe’s handiwork against Maryland next Saturday at Griff Stadium when the Terrapins will hardly dare let the Blue and Gray take much Of q lead, lest Joe protect it with his daring toe in an effort to keep the ball deep in Maryland’s ter Hitory. Oh, my, in a thousand respects, o good kicker is a jewel on any mans ball club. Modern football seems to have forgotten the kick! Pot Shots on the Wing Football may have gone literary not only for Shakespeare of No. ire Dame and Longfellow, of Northwestern, but also possibly for Dickens, of Yale-Seventy shutouts were pitched during the 1885 American League baseball season, four more than in 1884 Schoolboy Rowe’s record for pitching goose-eggs to the oppositon was the best with six, where as Tommy Bridges, Rowe’S team mate, and Mel Harder, Of Cleveland, twirled. four each-Despite reports to that effect, Gus Suhr does not hold the all-time Nation al League record for most con.

  Debate Over Pass Penalty RACES On Movie of Irish Game Fails to Settle Dispute. Bp tVitcd Prcas NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-Debate over pass penalty which gave Notre Dame 6–⁠6 tie against Army on Saturday continued today with even a private neWs-reel showing of the game failing to prove whether the penalty was justified. After newspaper men were shown pictures of the game last night, the controversy centered on that portion Of the football rules which holds that there is no Interference when the defense man is making an honest effort to play the ball. The pictures failed to determine whether Whitley Grove of the Army was making an effort to play the ball. Notre Dame was given possession by Field Judge A, w. Palmer on Armys 2-yard line with 40 seconds to play Palmer said Grove interfered with fourth down pass being taken by Notre Danes star end. Wayne Millner. According to Umpire w. R. Crow ley, who attended the showing. in reference was committed by Grove. IF Palmer hadn’t called it,” he said, Il would have”
