Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-11-25
1s1s-vARsITY TEAM.
Total for the three years.


That is the record of the Harvard
star who celebrated his twenty-second
birthday at Cambridge yesterday,
with Eddie Mahan, his teammate, as
his chief companion throughout the
day. Brickley and Mahan are close
friends and roommates and they are
always "palling'' together. Mahan, by
the way, has a brother who teaches
in st. Peters College at Jersey City.
OF Mahan, Coach Haughton declares
that this particular player was al
lowed to have his own way on punt
ing, but that his way was not the
way he has been coached to foot the
ball. Haughton, however, In fear of
disturbing his team in any way, just
let Mahan go along and do things ac-
cording to his own method. His deci-
sion in this respect didn't do any
harm, for Mahan played "a grand
game and the outcome was most sat
isfactory.
The betting on the Harvard Yale
game was rather light Usually this
is the best betting contest of the
year, There is lot of sentimental
gambling and there is plenty of good
hard gambling, according to the
dope" AS the teams looked going
into battle, it seemed shame that
any one should put up good money
On voIa,c obopcas Tho EIic didn't
appear to have much of chance on
form and no odds would seem to be
good odds. The real market price
was 10 to 6, although you could get
some to 1. The Yale men bet on
Yale because they were Yale and she
was Yale, but the amounts wagered
in this respect were small in the ex-
treme. The old sentiment was there
just as strong as ever, but it wasn't
backed up by SO many dollars. Har-
ward is not great betting college
at best. Yale, with anything like an
even break, would bet her to a
standstill, and in previous years has
bet her to standstill, but this year
the poor old Bulldog felt it in his
bones that hope was nil and he took
his beating gamely, but kept his spon-
dulix in his pocket.
a.
Pittsburgh is anxious to play
Princeton at football, but she is like
ly to be disappointed. The rumor
also that Michigan would play the
Tigers next year has nothing in it.
Otherwise, outside of declaring Har-
ward the champion of the year and
patiently waiting for my seats for
the Army-Navy game, football is
about over for the season.

After struggling around for years
in search of the heavyweight cham
pionship, Little Dan" McKetrick, IA
vorite son of Arlington, this State,
has finally secured match which
will give his latest white hope"
Frank Moran, an opportunity to cor
raj the title. McKetrick, who isn't
much bigger physically than three
cent piece, but who is some pump
kins mentally, did his level best to
press agent Joe Jeanette into the
title, but quite unexpectedly along
comes Moran, an old warhorse and
staff companion of McKetrick's, de-
feats AL Palzer, gets his name In
the paper--just like Floyd MacFar-
land-is taken over to Europe and
before anyone else is given even a
tumble, he Is taken on for bout
with Jack johnson, the real and only
simon-pure holder of the title. Yes,
we have it from McKetrick that
Moran and johnson are to fight in
Paris. We are not going to say much
about the match now, but with john
son believed to be practically "all in"
and Moran known to be selling
platter, the bout may prove to be
rather interesting contest. But to
picture Moran as the champion
pugilist of the world would require d
keen imagination indeed.
