Cambridge, Mass, Oct 20.-It looks
as if Eddie Hahan of Harvard would
be the star of the eastern gridiron this
fall. Charlie Brickley was last years
star, and he's back at Harvard now,
but it certainly looks as if he would
be outshone by Mahan.
Mahan is a football marvel. There
isn't single department of the game
that he hasn't mastered. His kicks
are those spiral punts that are the
terror of the man in the backfieid.
At end rushing Eddie is in a class
by himself; and when it comes to
pounding the opposing line he has few
equals.
For years there has been a personal
rivalry between Mahan and Brickley,
were rivals for glory even before they
met on the field They did not meet
in active competition until three years
ago. Then Brick:ey was a senior at
Exeter on his way to Harvard. Mahan
was a junior at Andover, also on hts
way to Harvard
Both We're halfbacks and both were
in the annual game between the acad
emies. That contest. while adding
nothing to the Brickley fame, brought
great glory to Mahan. He outplayed
Brickley every minute and starred
with an effulgence that was over
whelming. The final score MAS 81 to
in favor of Andover. Every one OF
those points was scored by Mahan.
Brickley went to Harvard the fol
lowing year, captained the freshman
eleven and did splendid work. Las
year he was the hero of football
Mahan stayed another year at An
dover, then went to Harvard and cap
tanned the freshman team. That wa!
last year. This season he is on til,
regular Harvard eleven, and he prom

There is considerable betting on the
