This refers to the article in the Dec. 10 issue about the place kicker from DeKalb High School. It was a stab in the back to NIU’s place kicker, John Ivanic, and I feel he deserves nothing but praise.

Not only did he break three Huskie records and finish sixth in the nation among kickers in field goal percentage, but thanks to him, NIU did not lose to a Big Ten team for the first time in Huskie history.

Ask anybody who cares about the football team and they’ll tell you we need to be concentrating on a punter, not a place kicker since Darren Monnet is graduating. He’s the best kicker NIU has seen since Vince Scott, and he has the records to prove it. So, number 84—keep up the great work.
