Cornell sophomore Pete Gogolak made a 41-yard field goal against
Princeton. It was the way he made it. The Hungarian immigrant
kicked the football from the side, soccer-style. In three
seasons, Gogolak made 44 consecutive extra points but only 9 of
27 field-goal attempts. It didn't matter. Gogolak revolutionized
place-kicking. Straight-on kickers, like milkmen and typewriter
repairmen, became relics.
