Kane said he was sure "Lloyd Jordan's films will prove the same thing that the Cornell ones do. The ball was caught inside by a safe margin. It is not true that Jackson caught the ball in the air and came down with his right foot on the chalk stripe...
...extra equipment plus a large, 75-lb. general-purpose container, makes the stoic little Russian's feat appear rather tame by comparison.

He touched down only four yards short of the mark...

Though some campuses have dismissed his course as a bit on the brash side, he has managed to chalk up an impressive record.
