'GILROY IS SECOND
AMONG The SCORERS
Ceorsetown's Star Half Back Follows
Barrett. of Cornell. in Making
Points-Mahan Is Third.

The football statistics for the sea.
son show that Charley Barrett, cap.
tain and quarter back of the Cornell
eleven, champions Of the East. was
the leading point-getter for his team
making a total OF sixteen touch
downs. Johnny Gilroy. the star hall
back of the local Georgetown eleven
is second with the same number. but
owing to the strength of the opponents
Of the two teams Barrett Is given the
preference.
Those who saw Georgetown's op-
ponents. namely Harvard. Princeton,
Syracuse. Michigan, Colgate and Penn
State will know that these far out
class those of the local team. there
fore the preference.
Eddie Mahan. captain of the Har-
ward eleven. was third with a total
of eight touchdowns to his credit and
as most Of these touchdowns came At
the crucial part of the game his par
centage is even more notable than the
showing Of either Gilroy or Barrett.
The days of Barrett and Mahan as
college football players are over, but
little Johnny Gilroy from our own
select circle has three more Of these
precious seasons to run and II would
not be surprising to see this years
record go by the board as Gilroy was
unable to play full games on two oc-
casions. That he Is one of the great
est backs in the South and probably
In the East is shown by his work this
year.

BRICKLEY RUMOR IS
DENIED AT PENNSY

Philadelphia. Dec. 2-The rumor that
Charles Brickley. Harvard's former star
back field player. has been approached
by the University of Pennsylvania foot
ball authorities in regard to the coach
ing OF the Quakers' football team, is un-
founded, states Wharton Snkler, chair
man Of the football committee at that
institution. Information was received
yesterday that the former Crimson ath-
lete had received an offer to take
charge Of the Red and Blue gridiron
eleven in 1916. Mr.. Sinkler said:
"The rumor that the football author
tiles at the University of Pennsylvania
have approached Brickley upon the sub
ject of coaching the football team In
1916. has no truth In It whatever. I do
not see how this rumor could have been
circulated, as the football committee for
the 1916 season Is not empowered to select
new coach. and this Is left for the
new football committee to do. The new
board will not be elected until after the
new board Of directors Is selected and
this election is not decided until Decem-
