EN 1Ohh. OCT Ze--Ihe absence
M OF Charley Brickley from the
4 Harvard lineup has robbed the
three big football games in the east
this year Of some Of their interest
Brickley was considered as about one
half Of the Harvard team, and there
are many who believe now that Har-
ward viii not have much of a show
against Michigan on the 31st. against
Princeton on Nov. 18th and against Yale
on Nov 21st.
For the sake Of the game. it is to be
hoped that Percy Haughton, the wizard
coach OF Harvard can, in the limited
time that is his, develop a team that
viii not feel the loss Of Brickley as
keenly as the football public fears.
Harvard's offence and a great part OF
defence was built around its wonderful
fullback. and since he was removed
from the lineup by an appendicitis
operation, the Harvard team has moved
like ship without a rudder.
Many Cancel Seat Reservations.
The early indications were that
every seat would be sold for the three
big games in which Harvard is to
figure It now is reported that many
of those who had made application for
seats for the Michigan. Princeton and
Yale games have Cancelled their requests
simply because they feel that Harvard
without Brickley will not be able to
put up a real battle against the three
powerful foes.
However. the fact that Hughitt. the
great Michigan quarterback. has been
forced out Of the game BY injuries. and
may not be able to play against Har-
ward on Saturday somewhat equalizes
things Hughitt. wonderful as he is.
is not as wonderful as Brickley, but
Michigan will feel his loss almost as
much as Harvard will feel Briclley's-
Hughitt was the driving force behind
the Michigan machine.
Harvard Hopes For Recovery.
Harvard nurses the hOre that Brick
ley, who now is recovering RAPIDLY
from his operation, may be able to play
against Yale Nov. 81. His doctors are
| quoted as saying that he may be able
TO play without danger Of injury. But
il Bricllley Ulays I'm the game against
/ Yale it won't be the BricRley Of old.
No man can hop OF an operating table,
after major operation. and perform
I with full vigOr six weeks afterward in
game as strenuous as football
Brickley won't get his full strength
back for another six months.
If Briclley is in good shape by Nov.
p he may break into the game-but
only for a few minutes during each
period Harvard probably wouldn't at
tempt to put him into the game except
to give him chance to test his boot
when the team has carried the bail
within striking distance of the Yale
goal-if it does Brickley hardly would
he able to stick through the entire
game or to attempt any line smashing.
Yale shares Harvurti's Regret
Yale and Michigan supporters share
the Harvard regret over Brickley's
misfortune. The Eli grads and those
Of Michigan have a feeling that their
teams are able TO beat Harvard with
Brickley or without him. Victory for
Yale or Michigan this year over Har-
ward would lose half its zest because
both of Harvard's rivals want 10
triumph over the best team that Har-
ward ever had.
The old Yale spirit and the old Yale
mower seems 10 be back again The
Yale team this year looks better than
any team Yale has had since the days
Of Ted Coy. It isn't a team Of in
dividual stars. It is a team that has
team work down to perfection. And
to Frank Hinkey, head coach, belongs
the full credit.
Yale Was over Coached.
Last year Yale suffered from an over
dose Of coaching. About 40 coaches cir
culated among the Players and each had
a different way OF teaching. one coach
would tell the players to hit a line this
way and the next coach would come
along and tell the1I that such a way
was wrong. He would urge his
method. The third coach would come,
