because tho the ball bal was only a few fow feet teet out from the sideline Ho lie lo made mado a n drop kick from fron almost the same angle and at a similar distance from rota the goal The other two goals were we made nale from distance but tho the angles angle wore not so acute Perhaps the field goals will wl not bo be so much advantage to a team this tills year yet It Is a little difficult to figure that the they will vill wi lack lac all al thick their usefulness of or thelast the tho past last and If ir proves to o be he a high class high cass back In other qualities than kicking It i Is
