ently attempted drop kicks when halted within reach of the Harvard goal posts. The result was a clear-out-Yale victory. In 1927, Yale, with an infinitely stronger team than Harvard was only able to score on a couple of long brilliant individual runs. Last year she was completely outplayed. What is the purpose of this comparison. Merely to point out that Yale has in Booth one of the best drop-kickers in the country this season, and that Harvard has at least two who compare very favorably even with him. Also to point out that all Harvard needed to win the Michigan game was three points, and that Yale last Saturday against Princeton made several long marches including one of 96 yards which ended on the one yard line. It requires a peculiar kind of courage to attempt a dropkick on 3rd down when a touchdown seems so near, and a team which has felt its power in a long march is not likely to try one. However, it is highly probable that the game Saturday will be decided by the margin of a drop kick.
