Notes From A Football Press Box

Eighty one percent of NFL points after touchdown have been converted over three years. Pro point kicking using the crossbar as the goal line outpaces college end zone attempts by about twenty percent. In four years only three NFL games lost due to failed extra points. Iowa beat Notre Dame once, ending a 20 game winning streak with a 10-7 score. Nearly 50,000 fans expected for Notre Dame this season. A score guessing pool forms around the Ohio State Chicago game with many predicting near 100 to 0 as Ohio State aims to top Michigan’s 85-0. Tulane, Alabama game may alter plans for Tulane backfield stars Principe, McGowen, McFadden, Lalanne. Colgate coach Andy Kerr scouts Cornell-Columbia and believes a fighting club could beat Cornell. Columbia still leads Navy in their series though Navy has won the last four. Jim Connell of Penn breaks leg last season and starts against Penn State. Clair Bee at Long Island U bets Andy Perugino’s flying will end season.
