ELECT BRICKLEY
 HARVARD CAPTAIN
Great Harvard Kicker Named To Lead Crimson Foot
 ball Eleven In 1914

Cambridge, Mass. Dec. 19.-Charles history of Harvard football, received his due reward yesterday afternoon when the eighteen players who par ticipated in the victorious contest with Yale elected him to captain the Grim son team of 1914.
 While it was stated that the cleo ton was unanimous, It is believed that Trunrbull the varsity center, had a few scattering votes on the first bal lot.
 Brickley stands heads and heels over any other player in the college world today Many critics agree that he is the foremost all-around player the grfdiron has ever known.
 To his great right root which caused via the field goal route Cambridge University owes it's present high posi- ton in college football and the posses sion of the two intercollegiate football championships
 During the past season he amply demonstrated that he could rush the ball effectively and hold his own in running the ball. on the defense he showed more power than any other one man in breaking up the forward pass plays tried against the Crimson
 Brickley prepared at Everett High school, where he esayed four years, playing on the football team. A year at Exeter Academy followed. He en- tered Harvard in 1911 and explained his freshman team. During the past two seasons he has been the unanimous choice of every football expert in the country for an a1l-American back.

WreStIerS After
 Gotch For Matches

If Frank Gotch is determined about his retirement from the wrestling game he is going to be pestered a lot this winter with dehes, entreaties and threats from a large squad of heavy weight mat artists who have invaded this country with the common purpose Of relieving the champion of his title Wrestlers of half a 1ozen different ma t1onaIities are now on the trail of the champion and, although Gotch may be sincere about belng through with
 wrestling he may have to reconsider before spring or wiIfulIy pas up large sums of money.
 A number of the WreStlers who have ! been showing around New York re- gently have gone West to get in close
 proximity of the title holder. A series Of matches are scheduled for tonight at Kansas City At the same tim Alexander Aberg, the Finnish ggrest- Ter; Mamutof, the giant Russian, who ys he is here by special permission or the Czar of Russia to relieve Gotch of
 his present holdings; Plestina. and
 Fred BeelI. are all after Gotch.
 Beell, who is thought by many to be the best wrestler Of his weight and
 inches that ever showed on mat. has
 been defeated by Gotch. but he thinks
 that he can throw the Iowa farmer if
 he is the only ma-i who ever threw
 the champion for d fall MsmutOn
 should have a good chance if weight
 counts for anything, se he weighs 515
 pounds but Gotch has proven among
 other things that the bigger they are
 the harder they fall, md some Of hiS easiest matches have been against big men.
 It :s very likely that Gotch will not consider any of the applicants for @
 match until some or the present title seekers have been eliminated from the struggle and some one man etands out ass the best of the bunch. Under those conditions a suitable purse might be forthcoming from some of the big pro- motors in the country to draw Gotch out from his se1f-coustructed cover.

(By Wagner.l

(By Wagner.)
 The gridiron heroes of the Reming- ton Yost eleven, surrounded and ad- hired by factory officials and newspa- Der men, held their annual bano1,a+ last night at the Bridgeport club. The boys received their cheeks for indiyid- ual shares of the seasons receipts and they made large inroads on the fine list of eats provided.
 Weldon Donahue and Jerry Griffin. two Yale students, were present as guests Of Manager Keenan and they entertained with piano and vocal seIec- lions. Jack Hughes sang a, parody on
 Old Aeldelburg'' in which the tri- umphS of the YoSt team were men tloned. He also rendered s"The Garden Of My Heart and Mother Machree''
 M J. Clabby acted as toastmaster He was there with the kind words and his suave remarks made everybody feel at home. c. w. Burgess, ssuper-in- tendent of the Yost plant, praised the members of the team for their showing and said those players who were nak- ing good on the football team were also making good at their jobs in the factory. He also mentioned the fine showing the boys made when they at tended the Yost field day at Ilion N. Y, last summer. Manager Tom Kee- nan and Coach Mccormack were heard briefly. Secretary Rob inson was the most popular man in the room when he was handing out the checks and his popularity was proven when he was presented by the team with a hand some gold watch chain. Trainer Doc Adams was also rewarded with a check.
 Manager Keenan in the course of his remarks thanked the press Tor giving the Yosts valuable publicity and also on behalf of the team thanked the pub lie for its support. One Of the features of the evening was the moving plate which caused Rosenpanny great trou- ble when he was gargling his soup. A phoney glass which leaked on the side also furnished F'Rosey'' with more li- quor in his lap than down his throat.
 Among those present were: Keenan, Baker, Abbott, Flanagan, Hughes, Til hnghast, Mccormack, Silva Lachance Reilly, Moshier, Seeley, Halloptn, Ros- enpanny.

The new rule providing that each minor league club must post a guar antee equivalent to half a months salary list, is causing some discussion among Eastern association magnates. In the past the club owners each post ed a $2,00O bond at the beginning of the season to guarantee that they would meet their obligations.
 Manager Teller Of Pittsdeld came forward with the suggestion that each club place in the league treasury af- ter each game, ten per cent. of the receipts. This is done in the Cana dian league. Jim Clarkin of Hart ford threw up his hands when he heard of this plan. He will oppose it and it is not believed the magnates in the larger cities would favor the proposition because it would force them to pay more than the smaller cities.

 What fortune will the .s,New Year bring us? In the west, where the great struggle of the year is to open. we have probably nassed in five grand armies force of not less than 300,o00 men. General Rosecrans is on the eve of a great battle near Nashville. General Grant is opening base of operations from Memphis. General Shermau's great expedition has de- seconded the Mississippi river. Gen eral Curtiss remains at Helena ready to cooperate whenever his services already working his way up from New Orleans. Probably the first gift of the new year will be the entire opening of the Mississippi river and the redemption of the whole south west. If this glorious result is achiev- ed, 1t will matter little if Burnside spends the winter at Falmouth. We may also expect the capture of the of the rebels Prepara tions have al- ready been made to some extent for attacks on Charleston and Mobile. Moreover, we may anticipate that our
 
 bers and power will before long suc- ceed in sweeping the rebel marauders from the ocean. In short, the aspect of affairs along all our lines on land and sea is sufficiently promising to inspire the most exultant hopes for the future.
