|BRlCI|LFY STARS
! and HARVARD IS
AN EASY winner
Stalwart Right Half Back Is
Whole Team in Himself
Stars in Kicking and in
Rushing.

Cambridge, Mass Nov. lit was q
case OF too much Brickley for Princeton
this afternoon and the Tigers lost to
Harvard, 16 tors. The stalwart right
halfback was whole team in himself,
practically winning the game with his
three goals from the field. He booted
over two neat drop kicks, and just to
show his versatility, sent clean cut
place kick between the bars from the
47-yard line for the deciding points.
His kicking was not his only contri-
buttons to Harvard's victory, and
Princeton's downfall. In the first quar-
ter Of the game he did most Of the
rushing, as Captain Wendell was forced
to retire because Of weak ankle. Time
and again the husky Brickley tore
through the Tiger line or skirted the
Tiger ends. The Tigers seemed unable
to hold him in midfield, but they held
against his crashing attack three times
in the shadow of their goal. Then, to
their chagrin, he dropped back and
booted the ball for the points he could
not earn carrying It,
Toward the end Of the game his
mates began to outplay their adver-
saries and give him some aid. Hard
wick made some stirring cross bucks.
and finally two minutes before time was
up battered through Princeton's line for
his own goal.
While making interference for him
on the last smash, Brickley was Sc
verely injured about the head and had
to be carried from the field.
Aside from Brickley's efforts and Fell
tons grand punting, the two teams
seemed evenly matched. man for man.
Waller bore the brunt Of the Prince
ton attack. making several gainful runs
and scoring the Tiger touchdown after
running 20 yards with q forward pass
|Pendleton played nice ball at half and
end.
More than $4,000 men and women
sat in the huge stadium and marveled
at the surprising strength of the GRIM
son eleven. Harvard's general play
was a revelation even to the sharps
In the first place the condition of tho
Cambridge men proved to be of vita
importance. They stood up under the
battering of Princeton's attack with
remarkable fortitude and then having
fought the Sons Of Old Nassau to a
standstill in point Of defensive tactics
the Harvard players started IN to cut
the enemy into ribbons. At punting
in catching and running back kicks
in generalship and in logged determ1-
nation to carry the day, Harvard ex-
celled and yet 1t was without the
hardest of football, inasmuch as the
Princeton eleven fought with great
courage until the last whistle con-
cluded the struggle.
Harvard's victory was so impress
sive that the crowd went wild with
delight and hundreds of undergrad
yates did a serpantine dance around
the field to the music of a brass band
in celebration of the triumph. The
utmost good feeling and sportsman
ship prevailed, for in the hour Of de-
feat Princeton generously cheered the
conquerers and Harvard returned the
| compliment with full measure.
Besildes Brickley, who was badly
| hurt in the last quarter, Dunlap, the
plucky Princeton end. was the only
| one seriously hurt, although the COM
bat at times bristled with the rough
est kind of tackling, in which players
of both sides sustained falls that
would have sent an ordinary human
being to the hospital. Dunlap, in g
fierce scrimmage, dislocated his shoul-
| der. and was compelled to give way Il
| substitute.
Tonight Harvard men are doubly
confident that their crack eleven will
conquer Yale. but it is freely admit.
| ted that only repetition Of today:
| invincible performance can spell de.
feat for the wearers of the blue.
