Brickley, by his remarkable play
ing and kicking In this and preceding
games virtually assured himself Of
the captaincy Of the 1914 eleven.
That Harvard really defeated Yale
BY a score Of is to 8 is conceded by
the adherents Of both elevens tonight,
for the safety scored by O,Brien was
tWopoint gift to the Blue due to q
misnnde Of the rules. The
play, with its unusual feature, came
IN the first period Immediately fol-
lowing Brickley's first field goalfr0n
Yale's 3s-yard line Guernsey kicked
off from his own 40-yard line. ID &C.
cordance with the rules. It was g
long drive and the ball hit the Har.
ward goal post about five feet from
the ground, bounding back to Har-
wards fiye-yard line. Had the ball
remained there it would have gone
to Harvard and been put in play ID
the usual way. Instead, 0'Brien, To
make doubly sure what he considered
IA touchback,. picked 1t up while the
Yale players We're still, yards away
and carried it back across his own
line, where he. touched 1t down, thus
committing a safety play, according

There were few exhibitions OF tenn

of the struggle, and these did not pass
the penalty point at any time. Such
occasional lapses were forgotten In

team brilliancy. With but one o. two
: exceptions, the combinations form
ing the two teams played football Of
high character, and several .Of both
the Yale and Harvard eleYeTs rose
even above this plane.
