Brickley'S Toe Lifts
Harvard TO Victory
Continued from first page.

Guernsey kicked a goal from the Held
in the second period when standing on
the 36-yard line. It was clevoriy lone,
and at the time II looked as if Brick
ley had his work cut out he missed
three others, however lH. 30 were Of
a difficult kind, b.tNooa ~ and 10
yards from the posts. one sailed by
only a scant foot away from the much
coveted three points. but the other two
were wide of the mark.
This brings US to the safety touch
down, which added two points TO the
Yale score, by the grace OF O'Brien.
Just after Brickley's first goal from
the field Guernsey kicked off for Yale.
and the ball, striking one of the up
rights OF the goal post, bounded back
into the field Of - Y.
O'Brien snapped up the ball, and. to
the amazement Of the throng. quietly
and gracefully turned his face away
from the goal line being defended by
Yale, and with slightly hectic mien but
much enthusiasm, ran behind his own
goal posts and laid the ball on the
ground for what, he supposed, would be
touchback.
Almost everybody smiled, even few
Harvard men, when Billy Landlord.
the referee, pronounced it a safety,
under Rule 6, Section 10, which reads:
ut is touchback when a kicked ball
(other than one from kick Off goes
over the goal lie. II such a bail
strikes the uprights or cross bar 1t
shall be considered as having crossed
the goal line"
The exception, however, as noted In
parentheses, converted it into a safety
under Section 16 of the same rule.
Mistake Cuts No Figure.
The play made no difference, or rather.
81 had no bearing on the result and for
that reason, perhaps It should not be
emphasized too strongly; but 1t was what
is called bone I'm baseball, and IT
really caused a lot of worry TO the Har-
ward men for quite some time; in any
case, until the third period was over.
The weather Something really must
be said about the weather before vast
ing any more time. 1t was Junelike. The
sun beamed, and out Of so warm sky
that even a fairly snappy wind was
needed TO temper the rays OF the most
ambitious heat provider.
Fur coats were a burden. wraps almost
were a discomfort. 1t was hard on the
players. but mighty nice for the thou
