BRICKLEY is RECORD MAKER
Kicked ii Field Gsals This Year-Beat
Yale and Princeton.

By United Pfess :.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-If anyone is in
search OF football records, it will not
be necessary to go further than
Charles BrickIey, the Harvard star, TO
discover the latest record smasher OF
the day. Brickley has climbed TO
place alongside the greatest kickers OF
the game, not only SO far as accuracy
is concerned when he attempts drop
kicks. but for the number OF games
he has won with his toe.
Brickley kicked II field goals dur
ing the season just closed. They were
scattered through nine games. Five
were registered in the last game OF
the season against Yale. His record
also stands out brilliantly. In his
freshman year Brickley kicked four
field goals against the Princeton
youngsters. Last year he beat Prince
ton with his toe He turned the same
trick this year, and also downed Yale
by the air route. Harvard beat Yale
20 to last year, but Brickley scored
nine OF the points by goals from the
field. Harvard leads all the teams in
the number OF field goals made. In
addition to Brickley's contributions
Mahan kicked three, bringing the to-
tai up to IA.

HELP UNCLE SAM.

The Postoffice Department is dis
tributing booklets and posters all over
the country now in an effort to edu-
cate people to the correct use of the
mails during the Christmas holiday
season. The department is planning
to take care of the overwhelming load
put on the mails by the delivery of
Christmas presents.
Instructions are given for the wrap
ping, addressing and preparation of
packages. Uncle Sam requests that
the address be written legibly and that
no stickers or seals be put on the
addressed side.
By little care you can save many
postmen, clerks and other postoffice
employees a great deal of labor at a
time when they are rushed and over
burdened with this avalanche of mail.
These men will thank you, Uncle
Sam will thank you and the delivery
of your parcels on time will be as
sured.

ADMIRABLE CHARLES BRICKLEY

Charles Brickley OF Harvard has
be-lI the most talked Of man in the
United States since the day he defeat
ed Yale by five goals from the field.
The public rises up in admiration for
the man who could accomplish such a
feat.
And besides his ability as a football
player there is much else to be ad-
mired in Charles Brickley. He can
well be the college mans ideal in other
respects. Mr.. Brickley does not drink
nor smoke. He studied hard enough
to win a Harvard scholarship. 1t is
said that he earns his entire school
expense by tutoring, acting as laundry
agent and writing for newspapers.
If all these things be true, then
Charles Brickley is indeed a man to
be admired He has shown courage
determination and good judgment 9th
er than on the football field Hats
off to Brickleyi

LIGHTHOUSES.

We notice the statement that light
houses along the coasts have abso-
lutely ruined what used to be vest
ed interest" the wrecking business.
When lighthouses were first being
generally built there was much oppo-
sition to them by those who made an
honest (and usually proftable) living
from wrecks.
We are not saying that this has
any connection with the business
world of today. Probably it hasn't.
But the next time our young son
comes to us to ask about economic
problems, we are going to be a little
less dogmatic in repeating the CON
servative" phrases we have lately
caught from our wealthier friends who
are directors in one thing and another.
Just suppose our boy should find
out better some time, and class us
with those who wanted to keep the
sea dark in order that they might
prosper personally frorr thc ruin it
wrought.

gal according to the Ad Club consti-

Sam Boozer Pays Death
Penalty in Electric Chair
Gov Blease Gave Case Careful and Prayeru Consdera-
ton and Had Representative Present-Boozer
Said White People Caused Him 10 Do
the Deed-Prepared to Co.

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, Jan. 2.-sam Boozer was
electrocuted at 1928 this morning,
Georgia newspapers having carried
sensational stories about the shock IN
the electric chair not having killed
HYDE, several doctors were invited to
witness the execution this morning,
and did so.
Two shocks were given Boozer, and
in three minutes after the first shock,
he was pronounced dead by all the
physicians.
Gov. Blease had given the case care
full and prayerful consideration, ana
went so far as to be represented at the
execution this morning by Private Sec
retary John x. Aull, in order that the
governor might be in close touch with
the situation up until the very minute
+he fatal current was loosed. Only a
few moments before the time Captain
sondley, of the penitentiary, telepnon-
cd the governor, asking if there was
anything further; and the governor
stated that the execution must CO. un-
der the showing at that time.
Gov. Blease had already passed upon
all the petitions and recommendations
in his hands, but wanted to be in posi-
ton to act in case there were any
eleventh hour developments.
Boozer's dying statement was made
to Private Secretary Aull. He said
that this trouble was none OF his, out
was on the hands of white people. He
said that as a result of conditions e1-
listing, Mr.. Gillian, the deceased, was
irving to run all the negroes off Mr..
Hipp's place, that Mr. Gillian tried TO
kill Boozer. and that Gillian and other
white people caused Boozer to get into
this trouble.
He thanked the officers for his kind
treatment, and said he was ready to
go home, to die no more. He was spe-
officially asked if he had anything
more to say in regard to one white
man whose name he had mentioned
as being a cause of his trouble, and
said that he had not.
Gov. Blease, after the execution, SAID
that he was satisfied, in view OF all
the circumstances of the case, and OF
the circumstances attending the elec-
trocution, that he had done his duty In
refusing the petition for communication
OF sentence.
In cases of this kind the response
billty upon a governor is fearful and
the relief afterwards is great when he
feels that up to the very minute OF
the death of the prisoner the position
taken by the governor is justified.
Boozer's brother was present ana
will take his body home.
