HARVARD MAY GET
BR|CKLEY TO COACH
II Haughton Wants to Step Out
Former Captain May Sue
ceed Him.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Dec. 8.-If
Percy d. Haughton decides to lay aside
the toga OF his football coachship at
, Harvard. one man who has no small
: backing as his successor is Charles F.
Brickley, captain OF the famous 1914
eleven. and the best drop kicker ever
developed
; Although Brickley has signed again
/, next fall. it is believed he would be
permitted to cancel that contract il
Harvard tenders him the position OF
head coach.
Harvard alumni are loath to see
Haughton pass out of Crimson grid
iron activities. but IL he declares that
he has made up his mind to quit the
active part of coaching Il big effort
will he made to have him act as ad-
visory coach
Brickley has demonstrated in more
ways than one that he has the knack
Of instilling into other men the points"
which he picked up while a pupil OF
Haughton's.
He taught the Penn State boys the art
OF drop-kicking last summer. which
served them in good stead during the
season, and then jumped over to Balti-
more. taking nondescript squad OF
players and turning out the best eleven
ever developed at Johns Hopkins.
The Johns Hopkins team, although II
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 finan-
cially.
Brickley always was an apt pupil and
round little trouble in transferring the
basic truths of football both in theory
and action, into the men under him.
With Brickley acting under the care
ful eye of Haughton. and assisted hy a
corps of associate coaches. Harvard
football would bid fair to keep up its
seasons over Yale. even If Honora Bile

Athletes of the District of Column

sport have reason to feel proud of
their exploits during the past year
and unless all signs fail the 1916
activities are bound to surpass the

looked upon to set a hot pace prom

Miss Biurstedt came over to the United
states shortly after the dawn Of 1915 and
was not heard Of particularly until she
decided to enter the women's national
indoor championship tennis tournament
for q little exercise. The Norwegian girl
got the exercise. and also the title. Aft
er the indoor title followed many other
lesser championships and eventually she
annexed the national clay court title and
the crown for ability on turf courts.
Her record besides being the best ind-
rfdual performance in any branch of
sports Is also unique. She was the first
foreigner to capture women's tennis
title in this country; and also the only
tennis PLAYER who has ever held three
national single titles simultaneously.

that premier honors would have gone to

was second only to that of Miss Blur

with rush and wrested the crown from

ica has produced. Maurice McLoughlin

On the links the big achievement of
the wear was the unexpected victory of

great match PLAYER though he was had
fallen short of true greatness on the
links because of his Indifferent work in
medal play championships. When he
entered for the national open champion
shin at Baltusrol in June. even some OF
those who knew him best were inclined
to laugh at him when he told them that
he expected to make good showing.
They wanted to see him do well: but
they, didn't dare hope that he would.
What he did at Baltusrol STAN .,nd
him as the greatest amateur golfer
that America has yet produced. -Four

BEST PRODUCTION OF
SEASON AT POLLS


Unusual interest centers in the
presentation OF 1.-THE Trail Of the
Lonesome Pine at Polls theater this
week, large audiences having attended
each of the performances given thus
far. The heart interest Of the story
is more featured than in many dra-
rnatic plays while the dramatic posi-
bilities are also written in Eugene
Walters mastery way. The Players
are giving it fine presentation and
the patrons Of the theater are unani-
NOUS in their praise Of the production.
Next week sees the Players in an
ether New England play that is re-
garded by many thearergoers and
critics as the equal of any rural play
ever written 1t is Quincy Adams
Sawyer" a play dear to the hearts of
millions. The exceptionally long life
Of "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is strik-
ing tribute to it's power to entertain
theatergoers, who find in its homely
sentiment, it's lovable characters and
rural atm osphere a refreshing change
from the conventional. Manager
Fosse has presented the play previ-
cusly and Stage Director Duane has
produced it many times, this combina-
tion making it sure that the presen-
tation next week will rival that of
the original organization.
