Unusual Scores Rolled Up By Foot ball Teams==To Eliminate Pro-
 fessional Baseball Coaches

New York, December: 6.-The spec tacular manner in which Harvard de- feated Yale in their annual football game, due to five field goals Kicked by Charles B. Brickley, the Crimson fulIback, has led to much delving into gridiron records to ascertain whether the feat was a record one, as claimed by many Immediately after the game. Careful research has proved that Brickley did not make a new field goal record, but merely tied the one made by Bernie Trafford of the Har- ward eleven of 1890 in the game with Cornell on November of that year. In some respects Trafford's record was better than Brickleys, since all of his kicks were drop-kick field goals, while Brickley scored four in this manner and one from placement.
 The Cornell team of 1890 was very weak compared to the Yale eleven that faced Harvard on November 22 of this year. The Crimson combin-s ation defeated the Ithaca team of 1890 IT to O, and Trafford kicked behind a defense that was never tried in the manner that the Harvard eleven of 1913 was while holding back the Ellis who aimed to block Brickley's kicks. Trafford, never hurried at any time, kicked five drop-kick field goals out of seven attempts from thirty and thirty-f1ve yard lines, averaging thirty
 
 scored from the twenty-four, thirty eight, thirty and twenty-two yard lines and his placement goal was made thirty-nine yards from the Yale bar. This was total distance of 155 yards and averaged thirty-one yards per kick l. Other football records which have been reported as broken this season include the long field run and high score, but in neither case do the 1913 performances rank with those of other games. The longest run of football Is credited to Walter EckersalI of the University of Chicago team, who ran 1O6 yards in the game of 1904 against Wisconsin. Eckersan caught the ball on a kick-om and ran from virtually his own goal line across Wisconsin's at the other end of the field, passing the entire Badger eleven in his flight. The record run from scrimmage is held by H. M. Coleman, of wisconsin, who picked up the ball tumble in the Minnesota game of 1891 and ran 1O5 yards for touchdown.
 There have been an unsuaI number of big scores rolled up during the 1913 season and several of these have been claimed as records. Evansville, Ind, High School defeated Rockport, Ind, High School 143 to on Septembe Der 27; Oklahoma A. and M.- College defeated Phillips University liz to on October 15; the University of Louisville de- feated Washington College 100 to o on October IS; Washington and Jefferson defeated Grove City 100 to on Nov ember 1, and Gallaudet defeated Bal timore College 1OS to 0. These high scores do not exceed some of the big totals made by famous eastern gridiron machines of past years, all things con sfdered. Princeton scored 140 to 0 against Lafayette in 1880 and Yale defeated Wesleyan 13O to in 1s86 Some years ago the University of Michigan defeated the University of Buffalo by a score running into three figures to 0. Coach ''Hurry-up" Yost tells an amusing story in connection with this game.
