New Players
Available for
Ensign Brickley
Former Harvard Football
Star Has Strong Trans
port Eleven
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Ensign Charley Brickley, one of Har-
wards most famous football players,
has mapped out hard campaign for
his eleven of the United States naval
transport service, which promises to
be much in the lmelight during the
remainder of the season. The onetime
Crimson goal kicking wonder, who is
coaching his charges, says that he has
never been in better shape and plans
to play a backfeld position in every
game.
Ensign Brickley has had the good
fortune of having sent to his station
within the past two weeks FIVE former
college football players who will do
much to bolster up his already all
star collegiate aggregation. The prin-
cipal one is his brother George, who
earned almost as much fame as En-
sign Brickley while captaining both
the Boston and Trinity College elevens.
George will play in the sbackfield and
is sure to be most valuable man.
Colletti on Team
Another big plum was the addition
Of Colletti, who was a prominent
member of the team at Fordham Col
lege for the past several years. Col
letti's ability as an all around player
Is we'll known, but owing to the sur
plus of backfeld material Ensign
Brickiey will use him to strengthen
the defence. The other newcomers
Gre James S. O'Boyle and Dannigan,
both former Georgetown players, and
Leonard, regular for three years at
Phillips Exeter Academy
While Ensign Brick ely has arranged
many important games, ne has, how
ever, offered the services of his team
to the United War Work Campaign
fund committee in it's aim to reach
its goal Of over $170,000000. The
committee has asked the transport
have not been chosen.
To Play Rutgers
The transport men failed to fare as
successfully as expected in bowling to
Syracuse University last Saturday by
score of Is to 0, but hope to make
more impressive showing against
nutgerS College, winch IL meets at
New Brunswick on Election Day. With
several new players to call upon, the
enetime Harvard star hopes to start
Oh on victorious career.
On November 8 local admirers of
Ensign Brickley and his mates during
college days will have a chance to see
him in action when the transport
eleven meets Camp Vail, of New Jer-
sey. on the Polo Grounds. The Camp
Vail unit is strong one and should
put up a strong resistance against
their opponents. Another game
clinehed by Ensign Brick'ey for his
eleven is against that of Boston Col.
lege in the Hub on November Is. En-
sign Brickley still has several open
dates on his schedule and is eager
to hear from both college or army and
navy teams.

With Dartmouth Eleven

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Nov. with
in few minutes after the opening of
the game between the Dartmouth and
Syracuse S. A. 7. C. teams on Platt
Field this afternoon the outcome was
merely question Of by how much the
Syracuse score would exceed that of the
Hanover team, and after the forty
eight minutes of play the result was:
Syracuse, 81; Dartmouth, 6.
Syracuse had we'll rounded system
of attack, a fast charging line and an
elusive set of backs, who were good
for gains of any sort from five to TWEEN
ty yards. Syracuse was master of the
situation at all times. Ackley, Herman,
Barsha and Erwig made sensational
gains time and again.
Dartmouths touchdown came in the
second period, when Mcdonald picked
up Ackley's tumble and took it thirty
two yards, Threshie taking the ball
over in two plunges from the 3-yard

Still Unbeaten
On Criidiiron


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 2.-The
Naval Radio School. of this city, which
has been selected to meet Princeton
team in New York for the United War
Work Campaign Fund, has clean foot
ball slate 30 far this fall.
The squad of players, none of whom
is from big college, have come to
Cambridge for study from twenty or
twenty-five different states in the
Union. Ten of the first eleven are
from different states, the eleventh
man, Bartlett, being from Iowa, the
same state as his companion tackle,
Danskin.
o. X. Cox, the centre, is from Idaho,
and previous to this fall had never
played football. He grasped the .es-
sential points Of the game quickly,
and is the most versatile man on the
team in handling forward passes and
recovering fumbles.
The guards are Brinker, former
Ohio State freshmen player, and
ball at St. Cloud, MINI. Clifford, of
Washington State University, and
Cronan, New Haven schoolboy, are
the ends. The former is especially
fast and man to be taken care of
when handling forward passes.
The team is captained by George
White, former Exeter and Boston Col
lege star Beardon, of Arkansas State
College, and A. H. Cox from Washing
ton University, Mo-, are the halfbacks,
the former fine rusher. Cox is a
sprinter and covers lots of territory
when he manages to pierce the OPP
position defence. Holland, the quarter
back. was for two years member of
the University of South Carolina foot
ball squad.
The team is coached by Gunner
Mcmahon, formerly an all-feet quarter
back, and Chief Lewis Tripician, OF
Bucknell College. Mr.. Mcmahon is
athletic officer at the station.
