Beyond dispute, Harvard is the
champion football team of the year,
and, also beyond dispute, Charles Ed

their spurs after strenuous season
on the gridiron, and the Crimson.

that young man, with deadly acou-

Briclsley has made much history for
Harvard. He has enabled the Crimson
team to beat Yale for the first time
two years in succession, and he has
won for his college her first victory
over Yale in the new Harvard
stadium. Brickley, in other words.

has been a wonderful player for the
last two years and he Is celebrating

gained such fame in football is an
admirable fellow. He Is what is known

regularly and he always goes to

In Cambridge he attends st. Paurs

The game resulted as predicted, but
no one for a moment expected Brick
ey to get in such deadly work. Har-
yard was just as good as everybody
thought she would be and Yale, per-
haps, played as well as she figured
to play. OF the Ellis, Marting, per-

fine game. He was not as successful
as he was against Princeton, but that
