The boot of Charley Bricltley, . ma
tive son of old Massachusetts, spanned
dreary ehasm of a quarter of a cen
tury m Harvard football history to-
day, and brought the first victory to the
Crimson that it has been able to score
over Princeton in all that length of
time. Of Harvard's I6 points, 9 were
due to the kicking of the Everett boy.
The fact that Harvard finally managed
to cross the Tiger goal line for a
touchdown was merely sop to Grim
son vanity, as Brickley had won the
game for Cambridge before that came
about, driving enough field goals across
the Jersey bars to offset the Princeton
touchdown.
II appears that the youthful Mr..
Brickley's right toe had been carefully
groomed for this occasion. The stories
of his kicking prowess were not exag-
gerated He commenced kicking early
to-day and he kicked late. or until he
was led away with bloody nose. sus-
tanned in the Crimson's final charge to
a touchdown.
A Native Son.
So tonight Harvard is doing snake
dances along the public rights Of way
and noistiy making up for twenty-five
long cheerless years. while me Tiger Il
corresponding1y disconsolats Brickley Is
q member Of the class OF 1915 and comes
from Everett. Mass. and this makes II
a sort Of native grown victory. His
boot.ng to-day establishes him In the
hall of football fame. for without Brick
ley it would have been a mighty tight
squeeze for the Crimson.
The youthful Mr.. Brickleys square too
had given Harvard the striking advant-
age Of four large points in the first Pc
riod. the ostrfch-legged young back pro-
pellins a goal from the field before the
Tiger could get wound up. That sent
Harvard into the second period with
untoward fire. and they were immersed
in the game up to their head guards
when Princeton suddenly abandoned all
ancient devices and cut itself adrift on
the fiimsy forward pass.
Young Mr.. Andrews. who ts described
by his fellows as a rather rotten end.

In other words. he is a passer in the
pinches. He negotiated one which failed
through no fault Of his own. Then he
tried another from about the middle Of
the field. Tubby Waller being at the re-
ceiving end. This pass was very success
full and Princeton had the ball on Har-
wards 2J-yard line. Dewitt tried to ell
bow his. way through the Crimson line,
but was pushed aside for some loss.
Then the ball was again given to the
useful Andrews. and he passed II very
deftly across to the receptive Waller.
who tore out in the general direction Of
the Harvard goal with large numbers Of
Crimson hearts palpitating in his wake.
Once he stumbled and fell down on the
1o-yard line. but he arose and proceeded
on his way across the Crimson goal with
Mr.. Gardner of Cambridge. clutching at
his elusive ankles
When Waller fell prone on the Green
grass and lay sasping for breath. Mr..
Gardner was approaching him from the
left flank. but he arrived Just a moment

burst Of triumph across the goal. he
rolled out Of bounds. but the deed was
done. The Tiger tried to kick out, but
no one made a fair catch. 70 they did not

This made the score 6 to 3 In favor
Of the Tigers. and Harvard was slight

Wendell made fierce charge, but
was repelled. and then Harvard was
pushed back by penalty at a moment
when Q touchdown seemed imminent.
Two more line charges accomplished
little. and then Rrickley fen back and
