CLAIM IS C|NCHED
FOR WESTERN TITLE
Chicago Has Clean Slate in De-
feating Wisconsin Eleven by
19 to o.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Chicago clinched
her claim on the Western College Con-
ference title yesterday by defeating
Wisconsin, last years champions, most
decisively In a game of wonderful open
field plays and thrills. The final score
was 10 to Q.
The victory enabled the Maroons to
close the season with a clean slate.
Minnesota, by trimming Illinois 10 to $
at Champaign, won second honors in
conference circles, with Wisconsin.
Purdue and Illinois squabbling for third
place, and Iowa, Indiana. Ohio State
and Northwestern finishing in about the
order named.
For three periods Stages men clearly
outclased the Badgers at every angle,
displaying a versatile attack that for
dash and power has not been excelled
on a Western gridiron in years. The
Maroons gave a marvellous exhibition
of the forward pass that kept 3o.0oO
rooters on their feet. unloosed forma-
tions that bewildered the Wisconsin de
fense, swung the ends for good gains.
broke through center, and crumbled

those teams yesterday. Score. $50. Gal
laudet presented style of attack that
seemed to bewilder the College Park
gridironers, and the visiting team had
things its way from the very beginning
Twenty-six points credited to the
Kendall Green team came as result
of three touchdowns, two goals from
touchdown, and two placement kicks.
OF these. one touchdown and a goal
were scored in the first quarter; a place
ment kick by Moore in the third, and
two touchdownS. goal, and another
placement. this time by Kelley, in the
fourth period. Near the end of the third
quarter, Rockwell. who was playing
quarter in place of Captain Moore, re-
the distance through a broken field. for
a touchdown. However. he was called
back for alleged unnecessary rough
ness on the part of Andrejewski, while
attempting to block the punt.
In the fifteen minutes of play that ter
minated the game. the superiority of the
visiting team was still evident. Both
teams had weakened by substitutions
necessitated through injuries. and in
couple of instances elimination OF play
ers from the game for unnecessary
roughness. Open play that had been re-
sorted to from the start as means OF
gaining ground, was brought into use
more than ever during the last few min
utes of play.

The Red and Black players showed
marked superiority over the Western

the game, and, save in the final period,
produced better football
Keegan started things going for Cath

ruIi for a touchdown. and Hinchcliffe
grabbed forward pass and ran for
another touchdown.
DOugherty's drop-kick from the
25-yard line brought the c. L. total up
to seventeen points. Taken in all, the
showing made by the Brooklanders was
the best of the year. The eleven was
matched against a team physically as

The fact that Brickley predominated
rather robbed the others of their right
full share of the glory. 1t was Harvard S
varied attack and sterling defense at
critical stages that allowed Brickley TO
make his kicks good The whole Har-
ward team was a superb football ma
chine, one of the greatest that ever
wore the Crimson, and completely out
played in a most perfect manner that of
the Yale eleven.
Failure to fathom Mahan's twisting
spiraIs put Yale in the hole at all times.
Wilson and Ainsworth showed afro
cious Judgment in negotiating Mahans s
powerful drives, and this in a measure
combined with the failure to check the
powerful Crimson machine, told the
story.
The Washington times., 1913-11-23

All of Harvard's points We're due to
the superb kicking of Bricllley. He
sent the oval flying over the cross-bar
on five separate occasions, four goals
being the result of drop kicks and one
being driven across the mark from
placement.
Yale's points resulted from success
full drop kick from the SS-yard line by
Guernsey in the second period and a
safety by O'Brien, HarVard's right end,
in the first period the latter play being
of an ivory nature which hardly VIII be
forgotten by the present generation OF
football fans. O'Brien picked up Dali
that had been kicked against one OF the
goal posts land had bounded back INTO
he gridiron, and before any one could
get O'Brien's thinking apparatus IN
proper working order he had trotted
over the goal line. where he placed the
ball down amid wild shouts of laughter
from thousands of Yale men, who could
not believe their eyes.
But Brickley'S magnificent KICKING put
Yale out of il, so much so that the Ne"
Haven crowd filing out ot the Stadium
after the combat was over found con-
ISOLATION in the belief that without
Br;ckley Harvard would have tasted de-
feat.
Whether such result would have
come to pass or not is a mere matter OF
conjecture But it cannot be denied
that Brickley'S goal kicking helped the
Crimson TO a victory which was DEVOID
of anything thai looked like Har-
ward touchdown.
The Washington times., 1913-11-23

SIN points added in the third period
were made on drop-kicks from the 10
and S5 yard lines. and the last success
full drop-kick was consummated from
the 2c-yard line.
The figures on the great game follow:
Harvard in all gained 2S yards anu
nine first downs in fifty seven rushcs,
downs in fOrty-one ruShes. Malan
gained "a wards in sixteen puints 70 49,
yards in the combined thirteea punts by
Guernsey and Knowles.
Bricllley kicked five goals out Of seven
tries to Guernsey's one goal in four
tries. Harvard players ran back Yale
punts l23 yards against fifty-four yards
thus regained by the Eli backheld. In
penalties Yale lost twenty yards for
holding and rough tackling to Harvard's s
five yards Cor off-side play.
Charlie Brickley is more than drop
kicker. His line plunging ability stamps
him as one of the most powerful of the
backfield men in the country and his
interference for the other backs is eX-
ceptional in every sense. His ability to
drop-kick has placed him in the front
rank of the worlds best known drop
llickeTs, with O'Dea, Hirschberger, De-
witt, Eckersall, Bull, Trafford, Crowell,
Capron, Brooke. and O'Brien.
Two weeks ago Harvard beat Prince
ton, 3 to 0, due to a field goal by Brick
ley.
Brickley, by his phenomenal playing
and kicking in this and preceding
games, virtually assured himself of the
captaincy of the 1914 eleven, and his
record is So unusual as TO indicate
clearly that he will have no opponent.
As a freshman he kicked four field
goals for the Harvard youngsters
against Princeton. and followed that
feat by scoring all the points against
the varsity Tigers the next year.
Last season he kicked three goals
against Yale. gaining nine of the twen-
ty points scored by Harvard, and won
both the Yale and Princeton games of
1913 By his remarkable. drop and place
ment kicking.
