persons stand watching them in vary
ing shadows of gloom and joy.
In the midst of all this turmoil it is
difficult to speak dispassionately of
the deeds of big Foot" Brickley
One feels like getting up and uttering
a Crimson Shrek.
Biggest Man in Football
Mr.. Brckley himself has long since
retired to the cloisters of the club
house. At the door stands a herd of
large and heavy handed Boston po-
licemen who will repel the enthusiast
tic attack that is sure to come later
on when the snake dancers decide that
they must see Mr.. Brickley-the big
best man In American football this
dusky hour.
Once Mr.. BrickIey missed real Sc
rious try at a field goal this after
noon, and that was perhaps the most
striking feature of the afternoon. II
is true that he missed another, but
that was early in the pastime, and
was more in the nature of a range
finder than anything else. When he
began to kick in dead earnest he did
not miss again until late in the aft
ernoon, when he fired from placement
at the 42-yard line. The ball did not
go over the Yale goal. That was in
deed a strange thing.
From all ranges and from ali an
giles Mr.. Brickley showered his boots
upon the Yale wicket until the be-
wildered Blue commenced to think a
sudden shower of footballs had blown
up out of an apparently clear sky
Young Otis Guernsey, of Yale, en-
deavored to return the Brickley fire
and once he got a shot home, which
accounts for three of Yale's points
The other two came on safety

something new and novel in the way

Harvard Wins Championship.
BY grace of Charley Brickley Har-
ward claims the football championship

without BI'ickley Harvard would have
had a tough time beating Yale to-
day.
The Crimson always relied upon this
big booter. There were times wher
something else seemed the logica.
thing to do, but Harvard would hand
the ball over to Brickley and let him
so.
After a play in midfleld Billy Lang

accusing index finger at Ketcham
and the Yale leader shook his towsleC
head in protest.
There came q strange play after
this that netted Yale 2 points, anC
that will probably long be discussed
in college football. Knowles, of Yale
kicked off from midfield and the bal
hit Harvard's goal posts, bounding
back into the field. O'Brien. the biz
