Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2.-HarVard
defeated Princeton in roaring oattIe
Of the gridiron by a score of 10 to D
In the stadium here to-day, and there-
by hangs a tale of Charlie Brickley
and his marvellous kicking. Ihls
youth. who represented the United
States at the Olympic games as one OF
the best all around athletes OF the
country, dropped two brilliant goais
from the field, kicked another from
placement while standing full torty-
seven yards from the goal posts ana
so scored nine points of the Crimson $
total Not content with this ne
plunged and tore his way through the
Princeton line for many substantial
gains. and was an important factor IN
a touchdown scored by Hardwick. IN
the last few minutes Of play.
Brickley was the rock on which the
Tigers split, and Brickley was the very
life of the Harvard attack and the
souI almost. of the defence. He
dropped from sheer exhaustion ana
blow on the head just before the game
ended and Lingard was substituted
but he suffered no i'll effects, on 'he
word of those close to the team, and
barring accidents in practice, Will De
ready to work the same havoc against
Dartmouth two weeks from To-Day
and possibly against Yale in the Gull
,,;no+;,y yatpa of the season.
Brickley was cheered to-day by ~
600 persons in a way that comes u
few athletes. Even the men of Prince
ton were generous enough TO applauu
the dashing. brilliant player, even as
he dashed their dearest hopes ana
brought about the utter confusion or
team which had beaten Dartmouth the
week before and which was set on
winning another football championship
for the Orange and Black. As he stag
gered off the field with victory won his
name was on the lips Of every Har-
ward man. and well did they do him
honor.
The Tigers scored one touchdown IN
the second period on two daring and
we'll executed forward passes for gains
of twenty-five and thirty yards, re-
spectively. 4 sudden changing Of the
attack caught the Harvard players on
their guard. and Waller, after being
spilled i'm receiving the second pass,
scrambled TO his feet and staggered
over the goal line at the extreme corner
of the field The punt out for try al
goal failed, and with these SIX points
Princeton had to be content.
At no other time were the Tigers
within striking distance Of the Crimson
goal line and at no time were they able
to break down the Harvard defence LOT
one of those marches down the field
which had marked their play week
ago. The score tells the story Har-
ward had the better team as the eieVenS
took the field to-day, ana well deserve
the victory. which avenged in part the
defeat of a year ago, and the many
defeats Of other years.
Harvard Started Badly.
The Tigers had rather the better Of
the first half and left the field with the
score TO in their favor, but they
were completely outplayed in the sec
ond half in all essential points, actu-
ally losing more ground by straight
rushing than they made, and playing
in a way that bordered on panic.
do not mean to imply that they lost
heart or did not fight on with courage,
but the truth is that deWitt's punting,
usually so consistent, was ragged to
the point almost Of utter failure.
Dasperae chances were taken with
the forward passes deep in their own
territory. which indicated all too clear
" the impotence of their attack against
the Harvard defence and their willing
ness to stake all on the off chance.
They failed on four or five separate
occasions, partly through the watchful-
ness and resourcefulness of the Har-
ward backs and partly through the poor
execution of the forward passes, which
had worked so well in the second
period.
1t was a perfect day for football, with
the air cool, clear and bracing. The
field was a bit slippery and treacher-
Gus in places, but on the whole was in
good condition after the storm of yes
terday. The temporary seats at the
open end Of the stadium were not filed,
