Hamline Ace Foibles Fame For Passing Prowess
Hamline University freshman Jerry Foley has turned into a national passing sensation. In three games he completed 74 of 146 passes, averaging 59 per game with a five game total of 87 completions for 167 attempts and a 52 percent rate. Despite his feats Hamline has yet to win, as coach H D Montgomery cites a green squad and limited manpower. Foley has targeted star receiver Dick Donlin as his top catcher, while Hamline shifted from the split T to a spread offense to maximize the passer. Foley has thrown for 1,040 yards with six touchdowns, including a 33 of 62 for 262 yards against St. John’s and a 28 of 56 for 1 13 yards against Minnesota Duluth. Donlin’s 184 catches in one game set records.
