Though there have been many men who could punt and drop, or place kick, the writer advises young players to specialize in one type of kicking. The arc of the leg's swing for punting is different than the swing for the drop kick. In punting the foot meets the ball well out in front and several feet above the ground, being struck with the instep. In drop kicking the foot just skims the ground and the toe catches the ball a split second after it rebounds from the turf. It is better to accustom the leg to the "groove" of one style of kicking. Don't try to be a punter and a field goal kicker. Better be good at one than poor at both. Ken Strong, New York Giants, New York University, All League Half back 1934. Home is in N.
