PUNTING IS LOST ART, SAYS A. A. STAGG

! COACH STAGG AND NELSON NORGREN. j
Kicking, particularly puntlne. Is
among the decadent arts of football.
This, at least, is the opinion of Coach
A. A. Stagg. who holds forth at the
University of Chicago, and as he has
seen kickers, gotnl, bad and In
different for a matter of thirty
odd years, his words bear con
siderable part of authority on the sub
ject, writes Lambert Sullivan In
Chicago News. Stagg declares the
players of the present day are not
kickers like the heroes of bygone gen
erations, because they have too lit
tle time to devote to practice at the
art
Importance Has Been Lessened.
"Kicking is relatively a less impor
tant part of football now than it was
In the early stages of the game," he
declared. "When a yard or a foot was
an Important factor in determining the
result of a game a god punter was
a big share of a team's defensive
strength. He is, of course, a factor
now, but with rules which permit
teams to rush the ball more easily
than in days of old he Is not so great
a factor in the results. A team which
has an Inferior kicker can make up for
tills deficiency in other ways far
more readily than It could in the old
days.
"I remember when I played at Tale
that the kickers, of the team were
given thorough practice both morn
ing and afternoon, und Borne of the
more ambitious continued their train
ing not only iu season but dally
throughout the year. The result of
that work may easily he Imagined; the
punter knew every quarter Inch of the
pigskin and controlled the ball with
an accuracy which would be regarded
nowadays as positively uncanny.
The great object then, as it U now,
was to get the ball outside and well
down the field. In those days the
punters were able to tell almost the
exact Inch of the side line over which
the ball would fall.
Richards Was a Star.
"The star of kickers when I played
at Yale was Gene Uichards, who
reached the height of his career In
His work, as that of others of
this period, was the result of this
dally practice method and undoubted
ly he was one of the wonders of the
game at punting. In those days the
only punt used was what was called
the 'tumbler.' a kick seldom een now
adays. In kicking this, the ball was
held with Its longitudinal axis at an
angle of about ' degrees to the
ground and the kick was not straight,
but was delivered with a sort of side
swipe with the foot. The result was
what we nsej to call 'kicking the bot
tom out of the ball and when In flight
the oval turned twister and fllpfiops
without any apparent regularity fki Its
turning.
This resulted In an extremely mean
ball for the catcher to handle and pro
duced a greater amour,t of tumbling
than the present-day spiral. It took
a lot of work to become proficient In
Its use, however, which I believe Is
the principal reason It no longer Is
seen. The only fall hsrder to Judge
than the 'tumbler is the 'floater,' a
ball which seems to float on the wind,
and which It Is absolutely impossible
to Judge. This ball, however. Is one
of the freaks of the game and Is the
result of accident rather than de
sign. To Lbs best ot icy recolIacUon, taa

hv Clarence llcrsehhergcr. I was try
ing to tench llershy the 'tumbler,' but
he could not seem to cet the hung of
it. Instead of swinging his foot fiver
for a sideswipe and hitting the bull on
the inside of bis instep, he drove his
foot straight out and caught the ball
on the outside of his insten. impart
ing a twisting motion to the ball. Ve
all ascribed Hershy's inability to mas
ter the 'tumbler' to the fact that he
was pigeon toed and I guess his In
rtointed toes have had a treat deal to
do with influencing suliMtiuent kick
ing history iu the middle est.
"When I discovered that it was Im
possible to teach llershy the tumbler

style, and I guess its a lucky thing
I did, for his punts won us many a

were against teams with weak enas
while Hershberger had the faculty of
kickitig about the same against all op
ponents. "Of the modern kickers, I think Nel
son Norgren was the best I ever have
seen. Norgren, while he was not a
sp.-cLaeular punter and on several oc
casions was outdistanced, had wonder
ful control over the oval. He was
one of the few men who knew Just
where the ball was going and fortified
with this knowledge, his ends seldom
failed to nab the runner the minute
the ball came down. In addition to
this, he got his kicks oft faster than
anyone I have seen In years and put
them so far up In the air that even a
moderately fast pair c.t ends had no
difhculty In getting down under them."
