HEALTH BULLETIN
From time to time It is our plan to
' , publish in the COLLEGIAN shaft art
icles on personal or Individual hygiene
so the student subscribers may ho het
-ter Informed about habits they should
cultivate. The average student has
enough facts to remember, without
being bib-cloned with any concerning
hygiene, so facts will ho eliminated as
' far as possible and you will he told of
certain habits which, If formed and
ottrried out, will become a part of your
daily routine us much as sleeping and
eating are. and anyone who adopts
them will be better equipped mentally
and physically for his daily work

the hardships and strains of men of
ten Or twenty years their seniors, yet

the scrap helm. The first question must
be, "What's the reason?" The probable
answer is, too little attention has been
given to the subject of health and hy
giene. Many of the conditions for
which men were rejected were the re
sult of faulty habits, poor living condi
tions, Inattention to the ordinary rules
of health, and indifference. which Is
nothing more than poor hygiene. For
ages indifference to Um needs of the
human body hen been characteristic of

INSTEP DROP KICK
BEING PERFECTED
When Wolfe went beck to try it held
goal In the game with the Ambulance
Corps eleven a few Weal. ago. pat halm
few people in the stands expected to
see him accomplish his object, for a
drop-kick from the forty yard line to by
-no means an easy feat to perform. Un
questionably, there were few who noted
the actual kicking of the ball, for their
eyes were meetly on its true and accu
rate night between the uprights
Itut If one had been watching the
position of the ball In relation to the
foot of the kicker nt the time of Impact,
it is mobable that much surprise would
have been felt Wolfe did not kick the
pig -skin with the toe of him boot, but
instead, he caught it high up on the
In-step The result was a "drop punt . '
If such a kick may be catalogued by
that combination
The "Instep drop-kick" Is but little
known in the knot, and Is almost en
tirely a Western asset. To the un-Initl
ated spectator, there Is apparently but
one style of kick which in covmed by
the word "drop." Football coaches and
players, however, recognize two kinds,
the "toe drop-kick" and the "Instep
drop"
Penn State has felt the peed of a
good field goal kicker ever since the
graduation of Levi Lamb, who was the
last of dependable kickers. Muck at
tention has been given in an attempt
to develop a consistent kicker, but each
senson has shown the same result—ln
consistency.
With the advent of Field Conch Scott
this year, efforts were I esumed In this
connection, with Wolfe and several
othe - is as the candidates With the or
dinary style of kick, however, Wolfe
moved a dismal failure, but when
Conch Scott began teaching him the
Western style or Instep kick. he took
to it naturally, and the result was
shown In the first game of the season,
when out of three attempts. he scored
once, missed by inches another time,
and fell short pn the third
The instep drop Is very much like a
punt. Instead of meeting the ball with
the toe at the lime when the former
touches the ground, the ball is allowed
to bounce and Is caught high up on the
instep Many of the great Western
kickers have used this style of kick
with great success, end if Wolfe can
continue to improve, he will be a dan
gerous man for Penn State's opponents
