TALBOT TOUTED
AS YALE CAPTAIN
New Haven Eleven Will Lose
Heavily by Graduation
in June.
BRICKLEY SURE OF HONOR

Yale loses by graduation next June
five of the men who were regulars in
the line Saturday and one in the
backf1eld.
The linemen who finished their
varsity football playing are Avery,
left end; Captain Ketcham, left
tackle; Marting, centre; Pendleton,
right guard; Warren, right tackle.
In the backfield of those who started
the game Ainsworth alone graduates.
OF the backfleld substitutes Wheeler,
the quarterback, and Dunn, the full
back, finish in June. OF the subst,-
tute linemen HARRISON, Madden and
Gle, none of whom got into Satur-
days game, will finish. Cornish, who
played quarter until he was hurt, Is
also through.
Talbot will probably be the next
captain of the Yale team, and will be
the first Shelf man to be captain
since Frank Rafferty, led the team in
the fall of 1903. Talbot Is taking the
four-year Shelf course and has played
two years at tackle on the varsity.
Had Pumpelly played this year he
would have been a strong rival for
the place. AS Ii is the only academic
Junior who would be considered Is
Carter, the right end, with just
slight chance for McLeish.
In spite of Wilson's excellent play
| ing 1t Is doubtful IL he would be
considered as he is only sophomore
and Yale does not elect sophomores
| captains of football teams. The last
one was Frank Hinkey in 1894
Ted Coy, as a sophomore, was de-
feated for captain by Bob Burch, af-
| ter Coy had played the two greatest
| games of his career and Burch had
been in the game only two minutes
against Harvard at Cambridge.
Knowles, who is a Shelf man. also
/ has a chance for captain, but the
outlook favors Talbot.
/ @s
Immediately after their IA to 0 de-
feat by Trinity Saturday afternoon
the Wesleyan team met and elected
as captain for next year Dan" C.
Kenan, who comes from the FL Paso
Military Academy, and who has been
! Wesleyan's utility man during the
present season. Saturday afternoon he
played halfback and tackle for Wes-
leyan, and his election at night was
unanimous.
| With the exception of Meaeham the
/
field game in good shape. Meachams
/ leg injury is likely to make him
doubtful starter against the Navy
and unless the veteran Huston gets
back tomorrow the Army is likely to
be in bad way at the left guard
position.
That it was a Harvard victory in
every sense of the word, devoid of
fiuSes and questionable features, is
eloquently proved by the figures and
statistics of the game, play by play,
! Harvard in all gained 229 yards and
first downs in 81 rushes, against Yale's
las yards and 6 first downs in Al
PUSHES. Mahan gained TIT yards in 16
punts to 452 yards in the combined 10
punts by Guernsey and Knowles.
e.
Brickley kicked five goals out of
seven tries to Guernsey's one goal in
four tries. Harvard players ran back
Yale punts 1873 yards against 81 yards
thus regained by the Eli backfield
In penalties Yale lost 80 yards for
holding and rough tackling to Har-
wards yards for offside play.
Tt is regarded as an index to the
new order of things in football that
Harvard, winner of first place in the
rating of Eastern teams this fall, has
won this honor without scoring q
single touchdown in either of it's two
most important games. Harvard de-
feated Yale and Princeton by field
goals entirely, Notwithstanding that
Harvard was a better team than
either, according to many observers
in all-around football
-
The absence of the touchdown play
is made still more remarkable by not
ing that Yale also made no touch
down against Harvard or Princeton
and Princeton made none against
Yale or Harvard. In this triangle of
major games twenty-seven of the
twenty -nine points scored were by
goals from the field, the remaining
two being due to % freak safety, which
is a unique record in the annals of
Harvard Yale-Princeton football.
-.
Charles E. Brickley, the phenome-
nal Harvard player with five goals In
one game, one n placement lift, car
ries off the undisputed honor of be-
/ ing the most brilliant star of the
Eastern players. In fact the next
best record that can be recalled are
the feats of Walter Eckersall ten
years ago for Chicago.
|
! Harvard came through the Yale
game with three men on the injured
/ list. O'Brien's case of water on the
knee has grown more painful, but
| fortnight's rest will probably effect a
cure. An X-ray will be put upon it
to determine whether 1t is broken or
just wrenched Fred Bradlee broke
rib during the matinee.
-.
Harvard is especially well off for
varsity men next season. O'Brien,
| Hitchcock and Captain Storer, of the
regular eleven graduate. O'Brien's
place may prove hard to fill, but there
is some exceptionally good talent at
hand for the other vacancies.

The Yale game gave eleven men
their numerals for the first time They
were e. w. Mahan, M. j. Logan, G..
Bottle, w. A. Willets, w. II. Dana,

This new bunch OF numerals boosts
the number of men eligible TO wear
