Princeton. Nov. 2-Charley Brickleyt1
whose name is becoming synonymous
for football deeds, kicked goal front
the field on the soggy gridiron hero toSI
day, and thereby hangs a story OF vc<1
tory for Harvard and defeat Tor
Princeton in their yearly battle at foot$a
ball.
The score was to 0, but fully 25,ooH
men and women, who rocked not OF
the rain. which fell in intermittent
showers, to satisfy what has become
almost a lust for the game, will bear
witness that even these 3 points wero
hardly fair measure between the two
elevens.
The Tigers suffered not whit In
comparison With their more expert
enced opponents. except. perhaps IN
tackling-one of the fundamentals OF
the game. Two, at least, Of the Har-
ward men-Brickley and Mahan-were
the more brilliant, and electrified the
| crowd with three or four dashing ana
blood stirring runs which fairly
dragged one up standing, but in team
effort and other points that go TO mako
I'D the finished eleven there was little
to choose, mighty little.
Blocked Punt Hurts Princeton.
One blocked punt was the undoing OK
Princeton, as It gave Harvard the
chance to strike and Charley Brickley
the opportunity to use what may al
most be called his cunning toe Cap
tain Storer Of Harvard aided ana
abetted in landing this scoring punch
| for he was the man who broke through
and blocked the ball as Law punted
| early in the second period, and then,
| following il up as 1t bounded back
toward the Princeton goal line, fell on
It only twenty yards away from that
point 10 which all football players
| yearn.
II was Harvard's first chance, and
quickly was the advantage taken.
Hardwick failed TO gain an inch as No
launched himself into the Princeton
line. but Bradlee tore off four yards
and Logan added FIVE more on e fake
| forward pass formation. 1t was the
fourth down, however, and HarVards
confidence in Brickley was empha-
sized when Logan called for a drop
kick instead OF another running play,
although a scant two yards was all
that was needed for a first down.
| Brickley was equal TO the trust re-
posed in him, as he has been on so
many other occasions. Standing on the
20-yard line, he took a perfect pass
from Soucy and, drawing back his leg
sent his foot crashing against the ball.
1t rose straight and true to the mark
and fairly whirled over the cross bar
and directly between the posts. So
one of the marvels of football earned
another victory for his team and
brought discontinue, although hardly
gloom. to Princeton.
Baker Shoots at Harvard Goal.

may be said that they had six to Har-
wards five. with three Of them or a
kind that might well have been ac-
cepted. except for the soggy field ana
