CHARLEY BRICkLEY MAY
COACH HARVARD TEAM.
IF Percy Haughton Decides to Quit
Had Good Season With Hopkins.

If Percy D, Haughton retires as
coach of Harvard, Charles E. BrickIey,
captain of the 1914 foortban team, may
take his place.
Although Brickley has signed again
to coach the John Hopkins eleven
next fall. it is believed he would be
permitted to cancel that contract if
Harvard tenders him the position of
head coach.
Brickley has demonstrated in more
Of instilling into other men the
points" which he picked up while
pupil of HaugEton's.
He taught the Penn State boys the
art of drop kicking last summer
which served them in good stead dur
ing the season, and then jumped over
to Baltimore, taking a nondescript
squad of players and turning out the
best elevens ever developed at Johns
Hopkins.
The Johns Hopkins team, although
it lost two games, both to opponents
out of its class, succeeded in scoring
in every contest played. The season
at Baltimore, too, was a big success
financially. and the Southerners are
besieging the Everett youth to re-
turn in 1916.
Brickley always was an apt pupil
and found little trouble in trans
ferring the basic truths Of football,
both in theory and action into the
men under him.
With BrickIey acting under the
careful eye of Haughton, and assisted
by corps of associate coaches, Har-
ward football would bid fair to keep
up its triumphant victories of the
past four seasons over Yale even if
Honorable Percy retired, to the extent

HINKEY SAVED YALE.
Fellow Coach Tells How Blue Defeat
ed Princeton Tiger.

HowFrank Hinkey, the discarded
Yale head football coach, saved the
Yale-Princeton game has been told
for the first time by a fellow coach
who was on the sidelines with him as
the battle ebbed and flowed in that
memorable encounter in which Yale
reversed the betting odds in the mid
die of the game.
Crushing Yale Line.
"Hinkey saved more money for the
hackers of the Yale eleven said his
fellow coach, "and his single act
caused as many wagers to be reversed
as did the famous muff of Fred Snod-
grass in the New York Boston baseball
game three seasons ago.
I'm the closing minutes of the Yale
Princeton game the Tigers were crush
ing through the Yale line, almost I'M
checked. For 80 yards they had not
failed to gain their ground. Yale held
a 1877 lead. and a touchdown by
Princeton would tie the score and n
goal following a touchdown give the
Tigers a 14-l3 victory. 1t looked as if
Princeton would easily smash through
the Eli line for the score.
''Hin1Iey, who was watching the play
through field glasses, from the Yale
sidelines. had not spoken during the
game. Suddenly he lowered his glasses
and, walking over to Tom Shevlin, who
had superseded him as Yale head
coach. he said, Tom, Jim Sheldon is
almost in a state of collapse"
Saw Sheldon Was All In.
"Shevlin and the other Eli coaches
had noted that Princeton was making
gains through Sheldon, but had not
discovered that the big guard was too
weak to play his position, Capt. VIII
| son of the Yale team was in a condi-
| ton too nearly bordering ons exhaus-
| ton 10 note the fact and order Sheldon

policy alone had disCerned the situa-

| ''Shevlin quickly acted on the infor-
! nation of the deposed coach and drove

| into the fray. Two more attacks
at the guard position by Princeton
were thrown back with n loss and
| Princeton, on fourth down, lost the
| ball on Il tumble which was really
brought out by the loss of ground
which Walden's aggressiveness tack
