The Kick Kicking the ball is the most important fundamental in the gridiron game. The game starts with a kick, and the kick i> the last resort when other plays fail. Games have been won by kicks, and games have been lost by them. Hence, a good kicker is essential tor every good eleven. Kicking is divided into three classes the punt, the drop, and the olace kick. Only the last two given may garner scores. In the punt the ball is kicked as it is dropped from the hands and before it touches the ground. The drop kick is made by kickiirg the ball as it bounces from the ground. When the ball is kicked from a resting position on the ground, it is a place kick. The kickoff is a placement kick. The ball Is placed in a vertical position and is either held in that position by another player or is set in a hole dug in the ground. The tee. which was used several years ago is no longer allowed.

shoes are usually worn by the kicker. The greatest place kick on record is made by J. T. Haxall, of Princeton, against Yale in 1882. The kick was for 65 yards and a field goal. Great leg strength is necessary to boot the ball far down the field. Heavy linemen are usually employed to do this work. A kick over the goal line at the kickoff is a feat, even greater than knocking a home run. Few kickers can do it. The onside kick is pometimes used at the kickoff when the opposing players are playing back farther than they should. The ball must go ten yards before it is a legal kickoff. The first man that recovers the ball after it has gone ten yards, however, wins possession of it. Hence the team that kicks off may recover the ball if no opposing player recovers it after it hgs gone ten yards. Editor's note: In his article tomorrow Pat Page will tell about the drop kick and place kick for the extra point after touchdown.

FOUR DIVISIONS WANT CHAMPIONS New York. Sept. 4. U.R) -The passing of Tommy Loughran as lightj heavyweight champion leaves four boxing divisions without champions. Loughran renounced the 175-pound I championship yesterday and tomorI row will begin training for his 15round heavyweight match with Jack ! Sharkey of Boston at Yankee stadium Sept. 26. Besides the light-heavyweight division, the heavyweight, bantamweight and flyweight ranks are without legitimate titleholders. Three of the six reigning champions are considered synthetic titleholders. Although Mickey Walker, Rumson. N. J., has been severely criticized for his dodging tactics, he probably is the best of the 160-pounders. Os the other champions only Jackie Fields, California, recently crowned welterweight champion, and Sammy Mandell. Rockford, 111., lightweight champion, are considered real champions. Andre Routis. France, featherweight champion, was knocked out by Al Singer of the Bronx in a non-title bout last month. Mushy Callahan, California, junior-welterweight champion, was decisively beaten by Jack (Kidl Berg, England, in his last important appearance in the ring. Tod Morgan. Washington state, junior lightweight champion, has been beaten so often in no-title bouts that he is considered through as a top-notcher. The death of real champions is shown by the following table: Heavyweight—Vacant. Light-heavyweight —Vacant. Middleweight — Mickey Walker, Rumson, N. J. Welterweight—Jackie Fields, California. Junior- Welterweight — Mushy Callahan, California. Lightweight — Sammy Mandell, Rockford. 111. Juniorlightweight — Tod Morgan, Washington. Featherweight — Andre Routis. France. Itaniamweight—Vacant. Flyweight—Vacant. Progress toward developing another heavyweight ehampion is expected to be made when Victorio Campolo, Argentina. meets Phil Scott, England, a week from tonight at Ebbets field and Loughran meets Sharkey at Yankee stadium later in the month. The winners may be matched for a heavyweight final with the victor in line for recognition as the successor to Gene Tunney. Campolo has been ill for the past few days but is expected to resume training today and be in good shape for his third match in the United States. Campolo has been troubled with a cold in the back. In renouncing his title yesterday, Loughran asked the New York state athletic commission to recognize the winner of his bout with Sharkey as heavyweight champion. The boxing board refused. The winner of the Teddy BaldockA1 Brown match at the New York Coliseum late this month is expected to gain recognition as bantamweight champion. 0 Dick Stoneburner Wins Decatur Tennis Tourney

Richard Stoneburner defeated Ronald Parrish in the finals of the men's tennis tournament, Sunday afternoon. Although it was a hot day both boys played perfect tennis. Parrish started the ball rolling by taking the first four grimes, then by a decided comeback Stoneburner won the set 8-6. With a bang the second set started, and Parish was leading 5-2, but Stoneburner rallied and won the set 8-6. Both sets were hard fought and extremely interesting. Parrish will probably play Rolland Reppert in the finals of the boys tournament today or Thursday. A very interesting contest can be anticipated when these two stars meet. o- - HOME RUN CLUB —<U.R>— Leaders: RUth, Yankees 40 Klein, Phils 37 L.

MAJOR WOOD IS STILL MISSING Search Continues I'or Aviator Whose Plane Fell In New Mexico Tuesday Needles. Calif,, Sept. 4-(UP)—Griz-zled veterans of the desert searched the rough country near Piute Springs today, seeking Maj. John Wood, missing since his airplane crashed early Monday. On horse back and in automobiles the desert men made their way to the vicinity where an air searcher spotted the demolished craft in which Major Wood and his mechanic. Ward Miller, had hoped to win the Los Angeles-to-(’leveland speed hop of the National Air Races. Miller, recovered .from the shock of I a Parachute leap and a 20-mile trek through the Desert, joined with the others in attempting to find Major Wood. No direct word came here of the luck of the searching parties although a related message (rom Kinkman, Ariz., said the plane had been found, but that Major Wood was not in the wreckage. Only the cofling of the plane and cans remained, the remaintier of the craft having burned, the message said. This report added to the hope that Major Wood was alive. It was believed he probably had been injured when he leaped from the plane in a parachute or that he become lost in the desert. Major Wood and Miller left at 1:30 A. M.

ANNOUNCEMENT WELL RECEIVE!! MacDonald Statement Lends Optimism to League of Nations Assembly Geneva. Sept. 4-tl'P) Ramsay- MacDonald's announcement 0 ( I an approaching Anglo-American naval agreement was regarded today at the League of Nations assembly as one of the greatest post war strides to ward peace since conclusion of the Kellogg pact. MacDonald’s announcement that he would be in position to place the terms of the proposed agreement before the assembly prior tn the close of the present session will make it possible for the assembly tn organic morn definitely the work of the prpp . aratory disarmament commission which is to meet in the middle O s November. The Anglo-American agreement win undoutedly envisage as the next ste Pi a five-power naval conference, and the assembly is therefore expected tn intrust the preparatory disarmament commission to confine its deliberations at the November meeting to questions concerning military and aerial armaments leaving the naval aspects of the situation alone until the five powers wil have come to an agreement. It was admitted today, however, that the general prospects of an agreement among the naval powers will render easier an agreement on military and aerial differences. Members of the assembly were especially enthusiastic over the viewpoint ot both MacDonald and President Hoover that disarmament must be approached not from the standpoint of j preparation for war but from a sin[cere conviction that the nations intend henoeforth to settle their disputes peacefully and regard naval armaments necessary only insofar as they were needed to protect commerce, trade routes and overseas territories. * — - '-0 — Won Fame in America April 21, 1831, was the birthday of John M-ulr, who was one of the famous American despite the fact that hp wtts born In Scotland.
