BRICKLEY SMASHES
 YALE'S FOND HOPES.
Crimson FuIbac< Scores Five Field
 Goais-Sccre 1855.

Cam mDr1dge, Mass. Nov. Z3.-On a field particularly adapted to an art in which he is famous, and before the largest crowd ever gathered to witness a football battle in America, Charley Brickley, the rugged and dashing full back of the Crimson eleven, dropped the record breaking number of five field goals over the bar in the stadium Saturday afternoon. and not only beat I ale 15 to ,, but made possible the two-fOld realization of the most cher 1shed ambition of all Harvard men, and that was to defeat Yale in the stadium and down the Blue two years in sue cession.
 The only scoring that was done was through the efforts of two good kickers and through a play that will go down in history alongside of the famous baseball one which Merkle made five years ago when he failed to touch sec Ond in the famous series betWe cen the Giants and the Cubs at the Polo ground, which cost the Giants 8 pen nant.
 It came in the first quarter, right after Harvard had scored through Bricldey's first field goal Guernsey kicked off and made great effort against the wind. The ball sailed along and by one of those queer turns of fate which are seen every once in a while in all sorts of sport the leather took whim to shoot directly at one of l squarely and bounded back into the field of play. A Harvard player grasp ed it and instead of falling on it where it was or making an attampt to to run back, much to the astonishment of everyone in the stands. he picked it up and ran back over his own goal line, where he touched it down.
 Nlne-tenths of the persons in the stands thought that here was a piece of quick thinking that would give the Crimson the advantage of putting the ball in play from the 20 yard line The sad part of it was that the rules would not allow this and there was a safety for Yale At first it was announced that Mahan had made this boneheaded play, for the player who did it was in the place where the halfback should have been Later. it was discovered that the Merkle of the gridiron is OiBrien, an end who has always been credited with knowing enough football to be chosen for some of the all star eIeVens.
 Tn the kicking duel in the first quar- ter Harvard got the ball up to the Crimson 47 yard mark, only 13 yards from the point where Yale had kicked off, A B yard run back of 9 kick by Mahan helped materially in this. When Y ale refused to be beaten hack by the heavy Cambridge artillery, Brickley stepped back to the 4s yard line for E rolled behind the line. while the Blue rcoters heaved q high of relief.
 RrickIey Fools Vale.
 Shortly after this Harvard got its first good chance to try for a goal from the field. A penalty for roughing the catcher of & punt had put the ball on YaIe's 35 yard line. and Brickley drop threw down his headgear and carefully wiped his hands. The ruse completely fooled Yale, for Bradlee slipped through the right wing of the Blue for a IT yard gain to Yale's Is yard di- vision.
 Then Brickley fooled no more. He went back this time for business and made good with an effort from the 24 yard line. The Harvard stands were quickly ablaze with red handkerchiefs which huttered bravely out, while the pennants of blue dropped in dejection.
 It was here on Guernsey's kickoff that O'Br1en made his safety. A kick of Mahan's which eluded Wilson, who had signa1led for g fair catch and travelled S5 yards to Yale's seven yard line, closed the period.
 Knowles kicked to Mahan, who made g. fair catch on the 30 yard mark. and this Bricliey person buEzed one a mile over the posts from placement for a score of to q Guernsey tried a drop kick from A yards away a little later, but he could not get distance enough,
 Guernsey Scores for Yale.
 A 30 yard runbaek of punt to liar wards S4 yard line then put Yale in 1 the line Knowles and Guernsey were l able to work the ball eight yards | ahead. but Harvard then held 5Fnaly | and Guernsey dropped goal from the s6 yard line
 Harvard seemed to be on the way to !
