COLUMBIA AND
TRINITY AT THE
BREAKING POINT
No Tickets Being Sold for
the Game on Saturday
with Hartford Eleven.

Columbia and Trinity are at the
breaking point over George Brickley.
star back on the Hartford eleven and q
former member of the Philadelphia
Athletics. This fact was freely ad-
mitted on the Columbia campus last
night.
II was emphasized because Harry a.
Fisher, graduate manager OF athlctlcs'
refused TO sell tickets Tor the game on
Saturday until word was received from
Trinity.
Brickley, it would seem, is the stormy
petrol Of the 1915 football season. 1t
was because OF him that New YORK
University cancelled its Election Day
game with Trinity and Williams sew
cred athletic relations.
Columbia addressed letter TO Trim
Fly yesterday morning, and not until a
reply is received will It be known
whether Trinity will come down TO
New York minus Brickley or whether
il will elect to keep Brickley IN the
lineup.
There is no gninsayinG the fact that
Columbia wants TO play the game II IL
can be done without placing IN ieop-
ardy the amateur standing of It's foot-
bali players. 1t has cost Columbia a
pretty penny to get football machine
under way, and the receipts OF the
Trinity game are all that stand pc
tween a financially successful year and
q loss.
There will be no further meeting OF
the university athletic committee to
discuss the case. That much was an
nounced by Fisher, who said that the
committee had discussed the problem
from every angle at its meeting on
Monday night ard that further discus,
sion would be useless, inasmuch as all
that Trinity can do now Is TO answer
yes or no.
Despite the fact that the business
MANAGEMENT of the eleven was unde-
cided over the outcome OF the cOutro-
versy. there was no feeling one way OF
the other on the part OF Nelson Net
calf. head coach. and the eleven. There
is no doubt that if the Trinity game Is
cancelled there will be no game for the
varsity eleven because IT would be IN
possible to arrange contest at the
eleventh hour with any other team.
But in spite of this. there was as
much activity on the gridron as usual.
Mansbach and Donoho were IN the
scrimmage for the first time in ten
DAYS, and Littauer, the plunglng JUL
back. was on the field for the first time
since the Stevens contest. WILDER,
right tackle, and Ecky Calder left
end, could not report, the former be-
cause of a late class and the latter
on account of a charley horse, but
otherwise the eleven lined up with all
the regulars in their places.
Van de Water was at left guard and
Healey at left end, while Eaves took
Wilber's place at right tackle. Miller,
Simonds. Mansbach and Monroe were
in the backfeld. Donoho replaced ST.
monds near the end OF the session.
Littauer did not get in the lineup
at all.
Arthur Howe, the former Yale cap
tain. was on the field. and gave Miller
some pointers in handling the team.
1t is expected that Ham Fish's team
of stars will scrimmage against the
Columbia varsity this afternoon. Fish
has been invited to bring his team
down from Garrisons for an hours
work.
Tom Thorpe, who is the mouthpiece
for the Columbia eleven, said that
Fish, Vic Kennard. Ed Trenkman,
HOBBY Baker. George Phillips, Arthur
Howe and Johnny Fitzpatrick, all OF
whom have gained fame at Harvard,
Yale or Princeton; Pete Fisher, Slim
son and Metcalf, old 0berlin men. now
coaching at Columbia, and Ike Teller,
of Dartmouth. will line up against the
Columbia team.
