HaIfback's Wonderful Kicking
and Line PIunging Sends
Princeton to Defeat.
BRILLIANT WORK
BY BOTH ELEVENS
First Win for Harvard Over
Tigers in Quarter of a
Century.

Der 1.-The drop kicking and line
plunging OF Charles f. Bricklev,
backed BY we'll drilled Crimson
teammates. regained today in the
stadium Harvard's foot ball su-
premacy over Princeton after a
lapse OF a quarter OF a century.
The score was Harvard, 10;
Princeton, 6. Brickley kicked two
field golds and goal from place
ment OF fortv-seven yards, and
battered the Princeton line for
longer gains than were made by
any other player on either team.
In addition, he intercepted two
Princeton forward passes and ham
mered his way to within striking
distance OF the Tiger goal line,
where Hardwick had the honor of
carrying the ball over for the
Crimson S only touchdown. Hard
wick kicked the goal. In the play
which resulted in Harvard's touch
down, made in the last few min
utes OF the game. Brickley was
carried helpless from the field and
may not resume play before the
game with Yale three weeks hence.
The Princeton score was the re-
suit OF Harvard's inability to
fathom two beautifully executed
forward passes which covered
total distance OF lfty-three yards
and resulted in a touchdown by
Walter. The Tiger touchdown
came in the second period and up
TO that time Princeton had had
trifle the better of the contest. In
the remaining periods the Tigers
were never in Harvard's territory,
and played entirely on the defen-
Slve.
The game was the first con-
test between so-called major teams
under the newly revised rules.
Both elevens showed a variety of
offense, although Harvard was not
forced to uncover as many spec
tacular plays as Princeton.
Kicking Duel in First Period.
The first period was a kicking duel be-
tween FELTON, of Harvard and Dewitt of
Princeton The honors were decidedly
in favor of FELTON,. 1t was not until the

TO Princeton's 3-yard line. Ten of these
yards were gained on two Tiger penal
Ties. II was at this point that Brickley.
stepping back to the 15-yard line kicked
his first field goal and scored the first
points of the game.
a few minutes later the Princeton
offense was brought into action and the
two forward passes were negotiated to
the aStonIShment of the Harvard stands
and to the wild enthusiasm OF the Prince
ton supporters. On the second pass,
when Andrews hurled the ball 20 yards

attempting to reach the goal line. He
was SO far away from the line of scrlm-
mage that only one Harvard player
Gardner, was anywhere near him and the
Crimson quarterback was unable to MAJ e
the tackle In the kick-out for an at
tempt at goal Harvard blocked the ball
and Princeton was prevented from scor-
ing additional point.
The half ended soon after with Prince
ton three points in the lead.
The third period had scarcely begun
before Brickley tied the score by another
held goal from the 1J-yard line, after the
Princeton line had proved adamant
against Harvard's ruShes, the Crimson
being held for foar downs inside the g.
yard line. y few minutes later Gardner

the Princeton team was compelled to re-
tire ten yards, few people in the stadium
believed the Harvard halfback would be
able TO accimplish the feat. The wind was
slightly against him, but he was squarely
