CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Nov. 22.-Be-
fore one Of the greatest crowds that
ever Witnessed sporting event In
this country, Charles Brickaey placed
himself among the foot ball inmort-
ais today when he led Harvard
through to a triumph over Yale In
one Of the most bitterly fought games
OF the season. He kicked Ave field
goals When the last play had been
made, the score stood Is to 5 against
the Yale bull dog, but the thousands
Of Blue followers stood by their men
TO the last
The bull dog had fought a game
tight. The sons Of John Harvard had
been met, rush for rush and tackle
for tackle. Yale fought to the last
ganiely, despairingly and hopelessly,
for one OF the greatest kickers the
game has ever produced faced them
It was the prowess Of Brickiey more
than the strength of Harvard that led
to the downfall OF the Blue.
BrIckley Kicks Seven Times.
Seven times Brickley tried for goal
from the field. Five times he shot
straight and true. Four successful
shots were drop kicks and one kick
from placement. He missed one drop
kick and one kick from placement.
Guernsey scored Yaleis only goal
from field with a drop kick from the
thirty-eight yard line In the second
period. A play which might be de-
scribed as a la-Merlde In base ball
yernacular, gave Yale two more
points. This came in the first period
when a kick off struck the goal posts.
O'Brien, Harvardfs end, evidently
thought the bali was dead and touch
ed 1t down behind his own goal line,
giving Yale two points on a safety.
More than $4,000 persons were
packed into the great stadium to
witness the classic CT American out
door sports. Represented were the
wealthy, the cultured. the future
greats, and just the good old common
people who fiocked to soldiers field by
trolley and subway. Autos were
parked for miles along roads lea6ina
to the battlefield. Millionadres by the
score were in the stands. ]. P. Nor
gan sat on the Harvard side. At the
far end was Vincent Aston and his
flance Miss Helen Huntington.

h1ct. There was not cloud In tn
sky and the sun beamed down witt
