HIS IOuT years at Everett. lie soon
became known as the best school
boy back in New England.
Charley readily measured, too
with any school boy back field man
in the East His diversified tall
ents included everything within the
line of academic and esoteric foot
ball. He tore through the line with
the power of a locomotive He
eluded the ends and skirted by the
secondary defense in wonderful
bursts of speed.--e
On the defense he proved a stall
Wart. Rarely did he fail to nail his
man when the secondary back was
called upon to get the man with
the ball. after the end had smashed
the interference.
But he did not rest his fame a a
school boy entirely on this. He
studied kicking. He became a mas
ter like Billy Bull, the famous punt
er and kicker of Yale. But Brick
ley did not care so, much. about dis
lance kicking. He mastered the
ar VI hlchlnS that scored.
As a drop kicker he excelled any
back in the East, even when in high
school. His drop kicks often went
40 yards. Sometimes he even over
topped the crossbar with the ball
from distances that ran from 40 to
90 yards. In fact, he was a verita-
Die Pat ODea as an interscholas-
tic star.
Thus did his four years at Ev-
erett hold for him the future prom
lses that were fulfilled when he
peat Princeton with his cunning
root. In interscholastic circles he
brought Everett to the pinnacle of
champion by his dashing, doughty
and daring efforts. His runs around
the end made Somerville. Medford
and other high-cla schools bite
the dust.
