IN THE FIELD
OF SPORTS

Charles Edward Bricl1ley, the Harvard
Ifullback extraordinary, celebrated his
22nd birthday at his home in Everett on
Monday. He was the recipient of wire
after wire of congratulations from
friends.
Among the list of regular men lost at
Yale this year by graduation are Capt.
ketcham, Pendleton, Dunn, Avary, Aims
worth, Martin, Talbot. The captain of
the 1914 team viii be elected within two
weeks, Wilson ..d Carter being the logi-
cal candidates.
Jack Johnson, the worlds heavy
weight fighter, has gone into the wrest-
ling field. He is now at Paris and has
issued a challenge to meet anyone on
the mat in catch-as- catch can bout. Joe
Rogers, an American, who is taking part
j in tournament at Paris and has not
yet been defeated, may meet johnson.
Hardwick and Wiggleworth are the
only students at Harvard to have ac-
quired three numerals. Hardwick has
won his in football, track and baseball,
Wiggleworth took his in football, hockey
and baseball. Brickley has won his let
ter in both track and football.
| Ty Cobbs official average for batting
during the past season was 800, Jack
son of Cleveland was second with 1873
and Speaker third with 1868 and 345 gave
Eddie Collins a ranking OF fourth.
Charlie Brickley looms up as the logi.
cal man for captaincy of the 1914 team
at Harvard. He will find opposition in
Trumbull and Hardwick. Brickley's
choice seems certain in view of the fact
that he has played through the big
games both last fall and this fall and
has been responsible for their victories.
Carlisle met a tartar in Syracuse on
Saturday. Comparative scores give
Syracuse a much higher rating than
Dartmouth college. Still no Dartmouth
follower is prone to abide by the fan
atheism of comparative scores.
The management of the Brooklyn club
of the National league have announced
the release of Pitcher Fred Walker, who
will 60 to the Newark club Of the Inter
national league.
X. c. Furgeson, sophomore, has
been elected captain of the football team
at Hobart college for next year
Lehigh once more managed to climb
to the top in the annual Lehigh-Lafa-
yette game, winning by the score of
to. 0. Since Tom Keady's regime at
Lehigh their teams have been successful |
Rutland high school defeated Burling |
ton high school in football at Burlington |
on Saturday by the score of q to IL. |
The first game between the two teams
resulted in a to 9 tie.

low will be built alongside the pond for
the skaters. Vermont academy will be |
represented by an especially strong hook |
ey team this winter. Intermural games
will be held at the school.
Vermont academy defeated Keene, n |
H., high in football Saturday by the
score of 80 to 10.
Harvard is likely once more to forge
to the front next fall. From the regular
squad of Is there will be lost but eight
members The regulars lost are Frank
o'Brien, end; Capt. Storer, and Hitch
cock
Brattleboro asserted its claim to the
southern Vermont championship Satur-
day by defeating Middlebury high school
by the score of 27 to O.
Brickley's feat of kicking five field
goals against Yale on Saturday has been
equaled only once in the history of foot
ball. 1t was back 20 years ago when
Lafferty booted five goals against Cor
nell. His record does not stand out as
as Brickley's, as Cornell
a weak team.
Notwithstanding the showing of Yale
during the past season there seems lit
tie doubt but that Howard Jones will
be retained as head coach of football
for another year. Jones worked won
ders with the team considering the
wretched material on hand. Jones is
held in high esteem by Yale men.
Stuffy MeInnes, the clever Mackman
first saeker, and of basketball fame, has
that he viii not take part
in basketball this winter and hopes the
fans will not be misled by fake adver-
Using. Last winter several teams in
would advertise him as
sure to appear, of course, drawing biz
crowd. Then at the 18th hour they
would announce that he would not be
able to put in his appearance.
