Convert Kicking Is Opportunity Door In Eastern Football *e e223 4088 By JACK SULLIVAN "Canadian Press Sports Editor = Any Canadian youngster with ambitions of becoming a pro- fessional football player in this 'country would do well to con- centrate on convert kicking. The game, particularly in the East' needs players who can -ecurately kick the extra point. . Up -to - date Eastern Confer- -ence statistics support this the- "ory. The convert has been kicked on only 91 of the 128 touchdowns scored to date, "meaning that approximately one in four is missed. This is difficult fo understand in a professional sport, but the figures are there. Why does this situation ex- ist? Listen to an expert, John Ro- bert (Tip) Logan, a good ex- ample of how Canadians can stack up against high - priced i .ports. Tip, a native of Fort Tie, Ont., played for Hamilton Tiger-Cats from 1951 through the 1955, season and in that time his toe became the most fam- ous in modern-day football. RAR™LY MISSED He missed only four convert attempts with TiCats. "It may be difficult to make a summation of the question in general," said Tip, now in the insurance business in 'Iamilton. "However, I believe that there isn't enough emphasis put on this phase of the game and on the importance it has on the game, They sort of go about convert kicking in a nonchalant manner, just to get it up there. "Tf a Canadian boy wants to make it in the pro ranks, my suggestion to him is to try to become a specialist on convert kicking, and that means prac- tice. Many games have been won and lost on convert kick- ing" Tip, now 35 and a rabid foot- ball fan, said he practised his art five nights a week. "We even had five - minute scrim- mages on convert kicking, pri- marily for protection purposes. Our coach, Carl Voyles, concen- trated on this phase of the game." KICKED 84 IN ROW It certainly paid off. Tip, a six-foot 195 pounder, built a reputation as Canada's greatest all-time convert and field goal kicker in his five - year stint with the Tabbies. During his career with Ticats he missed one in 1951 and two in 1952 and one in 1954. At one time it was believed he had kicked 104 consecutive converts but a statistically minded Montreal reporter said SPORTS IN BRIEF 1952, in a game at Montreal against the Alouettes. That chopped his streak to 79 and he eventually increased it to 84 be- fore missing again. The report of his 1952 miss caught Logan and fans by sur- prise, Tip had never kept count, of his converts or claimed any records -- he simply took the word of newspaper men and fans who had jotted down each kick. "I'm embarrassed," Logan said at the time. And this greatest of Canadian convert kickers probably is em- barrassed when he notes the number missed by the modern- day, players, but he isn't say- ing. He just knows that young Canadians, who have a tough time trying to beat out Amer- ican imports, would have a good chance if they started the movies showed he had missed a convert on Oct. 18, early to learn the art of kick- ing that important extra point.
