BRICkLEY and HARVARD
SENSATIONS OF SEASON
Cambridge Institution Wins 1912 Championship and Unearths
q Star of Decade-YaIe Team Takes Medicine Came
y, Proving She Is Good Loser.

On the front pages of the football
history of 1912 are the names Of
Brickley and Harvard, written in red
ink-a fitting hue to do honor to the
greatest player and the greatest
Crimson team in years.
Brickley, the sensation of the sea-
son, showed the dash of Sam White
,and. the consistent brilliancy of Ted
Coy, all in one.
The football championship pendu-
luln swings from New Jersey to
Massachusetts,.
Harvard with its decisive victories
over Princeton and Yale. is monarch
of the 1912 gridiron campaign.
There was nothing fiuky about the
Crimson's brilliant wind-up. The
!, Cambridge team went through the
entire schedule without defeat, and
was not even tied. Princeton and
2sY Tss were the only teams to
each of these games Harvard won
with apparent ease.
Percy Haughton's football machine
was one that will long linger in the
memory of every Harvard graduate.
Harvard's Team Ably Coached.
Harvard's team was one which
made use of it's splendid ability and
Yale. this because of having eleven
weli-coached and spirited payers.
Better handling of punts, more pre-
cision, more men to follow the ball
and more quickness on recovering it
on fumbles-these we're accomplish
'ments that went far to help Harvard
to win. The Crimson made effective
use of its kicking ability. FELTON,
kicked well and consistently, and
there was Brickley with his usual
quota of field goals. Felton's punt
inGs although having no more dis
tanee than Flynn's, was more con-
sis4ent

Harvard team. Each man on the
teaan was personal inspiration to
eyTfy other man, with the resulttthat
Yafe's line was outplayed from tackle
tesstackle, with the inevitable result.
Haughton, always a master of Of
fefise and of thorough interference,
MEYER showed to better advantage
than through the work of his men
onsSaturday. Yales men were spilled
air over the field, although a large
part of the power and speed and ver-
satitty of the attack lay in Har-
wards remarkable backfield. These
men got protection that never let up
until the ball was dead.
A. consistent quarterback was an
other factor in Harvard's brilliant
playing Gardner handled the team
wi4h rare Judgment and outplayed
his Yale rivals in every detail of the
game. He had more discretion than
has been the case with the Crimson
field generals in many years. Wheel
err Cornell and Dyer did not measure
up.to the "big three" standard.
~~ Yale Hears of New System.
Following Yale's failure to wrest
the title away from the Crimson
comes the news that the Ellis con-
template a change in coaching.
This change will not be made as
the result of any criticism of Head
Coach Howe, who is admittedly a
very strong head coach. But Howe
was captain the year before, and the
belief now is that Yale should have
more experienced men in charge of
the. football squad for the best re-
suits. The old story again Is being
CIRCULATED in New Haven of an effort
tosget Howard Jones to be coach for
aterm of years, but no definite me-
gotiations have been taken up with
him.
A Yale captain doesn't generally
attend all the discussions of the
coaches, which are likely to be held
late at night when theacaptain should
