Speaking of records and averages
brings the fact that Charles Edward
Briclxley, the captain of the Harvard
University team of 1914, will leave
quite some hgures behind him when
he is graduated next spring.
Brickley, since he entered Harvard
as a freshman in 1911, has piled up 2s9
points for the Crimson, s. Of which
we're made on the freshman eleven
end the balance as varsity player.
During the three years that Brickley
played on the varsity eleven, Harvard
teams score 5ss points, of which he
made 222.
In view OF the fact that ne figured
in but two of the nine games OF the
1914 schedule. his record is ali the
more remarkable. II il had not been
for his. opera ton early in October. II
is quite likely that Brickley would
have scored more than 80 per cent. of
the points made by the Crimson

SANFORD AGAINST
ONE-MAN SYSTEM
Believes Graduate Coaching
Proved Most Successful for
Yale Football Teams.
DEPENDS ON THE LEADER

In all OF the arguments on the one
man coaching system IN football @.
Foster Sanford. the Rutgers coach. is
about the only football authority thai
stands out for the graduate system
Although Sanford has full sway at the
New Brunswick institution, he de-
clares that the old system in vogue at
Yale when graduate football players
Of other days came from all over the
country TO lend their aid were the
days Of Yale's biggest successes. San
ford looks at the matter from the
idealistic viewpoint evidently, for he
realizes perhaps better than many
outsiders the real value Of sentiment
in the makeup and drilling of a foot
ball team.
Sanford, at the banquet given the
Rutgers team last week, calmly de-
clared that he had no ambitions
toward entering Yale as q football
tutor. and while he loved his alma
mater he was well satisfied to remain
at good old Rutgers
During his short regime Sanford has
surely worked wonders. and his sys-
tanning 10 the gridiron game must
carry weight. He il and always has
been a rabid football enthusiast. At
the tender age Of ten years he began
by assisting in chalking out the grid
iron at Yale just to be near the big
college game. In later years, when he
became real famous as a gridiron star
Of the first magnitude. he lost none OF
his love nor enthusiasm.
Sanford Is not only a keen student
and possesses a wide knowledge of
the game, but best Of all he has the
knack of a real football professor"
for he can teach what he knows. To
be well versed on any subject is one
thing. but to impart that knowledge
to another is quite different and diff
ficult matter. Add to this the neces-
sary qualification q coach must
possess in sizing up the good and bad
points in a mans playing and the
necessity of understanding human
nature, and one will have a fair idea
OF the merits and qualifications Of a
successful coach such as Sanford has
proven himself to be.
Rutgers may well be jealous of him,
for another successful year such as
the Scarlet team enjoyed this year
will have the bigger colleges knock
ing hard at his door and offering him
tempting inducements.
