JIM  WELCH

    Jim Welch played for Colgate when that
institution had its best teams.
     He was a powerful lineman, but his main
fame was in kicking placement field goals.
He was good enough to replace Berry as the
Maroons three point kicker. 
     Jim Welch kicked the placement which
won for Pottsville over New York's Giants,
3-0, in 1926.
     In the game against Chicago's Bears he
missed three placements, in the slippery mud
of December weather on Wrigley Field, any
one of which would have won the game and
championship.
