CAPTAIN KETCHAM, YALE |
The sons of Old Eli have great
hopes of this yeaf’s "Yale eleven,
chiefly because of .confidence in Cap
tain Ketcham. Ketcham, aside from
his great football ability that earned
him the all-American centre position
for the past two years, is a born
leader, and one of the most popular
captains the New Haven University
has ever had. Although gaining his
fame as a centre, the coaches have
played him thus far at guard this
season, and it is possible that he will
play the big games in that position.
BIG UNIVERSITY TEAMS
FIND IT HARD TO KEEP
THEIR SCORE SLATES CLEAR
♦ (By Associated Press.)
H| New York, October 28.—As the
^ football season progresses the teams
m of big universities of both the east
a and middle west are finding it more
H difficult each week to keep their score
a slates clear. Time was when the col-
5» leges forming the “Big Six” and “Big
■■ Nine” felt that their escutchepns had
V been blotted if the eleven of a minor
5 institution scored upon their team.
With the coming of. the* so-called open
m game conditions . changed. Scoring
against Yale, Harvard and Princeton
▼ in the east and Michigan, Minnesota
Sj and Chicago in the middle west is no
^ longer uncommon* In most gases,
pi however,, the .score is made via the ae-
a rial route and is due more to theVe r_
^ sonal kicking ability of one player
9 than to the team as a whole. .,
^ During the early part of the present
9 season such scores were frequent, and
^ the manner in which the little teams
&1 were scoring on the big varsity
A elevens led to a discussion at a uni-
qu versity club as to whether the mod-
era kicker was more proficient in his
v particular part of football play than
E3 in the past. It was the consensus of
▲ opinion among the many former foot-
ga hall stars present that, while the abil-
ity of the average college drop-kicker
Y had advanced, the famous punters and
M kickers .of the past were in no danger
& of losing the laurels to which their
gg brilliant performances entitled them.
■r In order to prove their contention
^ the old-timers quoted some authenti-
i^.ted field goals scored from drop and
^ placement kicks. .that startled the
pa youngsters about the table. It was
agreed that the 62-yard drop kick
▼ field goal made by Pat O’Dea, of Wis-

. The nomination blank will give you 1,000 votes to start with. /Get this in at once and then get busy, asking your friends to save I
their coupons for you and give you their subscriptions to The Herald or the renewals, if they are already subscribers. You will be sup- f
vote^me that will put you in the --nvng and right in sight of this splendid ^
consin, in the game with Northwest
ern in 1898, formed the record for
this method of scoring, while J. T.
Haxall, of Princeton, held the record
for a goal from placement with his
Bo-ya'rd score against Yale in 1882.
J. V. Cowling, of Harvard, was cred
ited with a 55-yard field goal in tiie
game with Princeton in 1893, and J. E.
Duffy, of Michigan, with a similar
feat against Cornell in 1891. Getting
down to modern times in foptball play
records were produced to show that
John DeWitt, the famous Princeton
guard and kicker, scored two 50-yard
placement field goals in 190S* on«
against Yale and the other against
Cornell. Just to show that Sfcch.
feats are occasionally accomplished Tn
the present game, the case of H. A..
Pumpelly of last year’s Yale team
was cited. His sensational feat of
tying the score for Yale in the Prince
ton game of 1912 with a drop-kick
goal -of 49 yards, puts him well- up
in .the list of successful field goal
scorers at unusual distances. Goals
from both placement and by drop kick
of 45 yards and less are comparatiyely
common. The records sho-w that Alex
Moffat, Princeton; G. Capron, Minne
sota; James Thorpe, Carlisle Indian
School; W. G. Crowell, Swarthmore;
G. A. Watkinson, Yale; J. P. Dalton,
Navy; B. W. Trafford, Harvard, and
W. H. Eckersall, Chicago, all have
scored not one, but many field goals
from distances between 35 and 45
yards.
