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- Votes will be allowed on this scale both for new subscriptions and/or the renewal of old 'subscriptions. The pony outfit will be f given to the boy or girl getting the largest nu isber 0 f votes, but all wty do not win will receive ten per cent of all the busings they turn g in and 15 cents for each new subscriber they secure to The Herald. Sf nobody loses. %erybo<f gets piitffn proportion to what they do. | . 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. When shopping tomorrow —Say: “I saw it in the Her ald.” It will pay. Be sure to try it.
