...punter, standing 15 yds. back of the line of scrimmage, is safe any more. Kickers who used to count on 1.5 sec. to get the ball away now find that they must boot it within 1.2 sec.; this season in the N.F.L., no fewer than ten punts and 28 field-goal attempts have been deflected by onrushing defenders...
...Thomas, who ran back an interception 91 yards for a touchdown for the varsity against Columbia, picked off a pass in the Dartmouth end zone to stop a first-quarter Indian drive.
