New Diamond Safeguard

The name for palladium, dis.
covered in 1903. stems from the
asteroid .Pallas, which in turn was
named after the Greek goddess Pal
las Athena. Once, during a violent
thunder storm, according to Greek
mythology, statue of Pallas was
cast by zeus into the central square
OF Troy. 1t became known as .'The
Palladium" and a superstition grew
that as long as the statue remained.
Troy would never be taken. Jew

DALLAS, Dec. 29.-The Doaker
and Choo- -Choo-two of the most
famous men of football-fnally
have gotten together.
It required four college seasons
and a Cotton Bowl game for
them to have that chat they've
both been wanting.
The Doaker is Doak Walker,
three time All-America of South
ern Methodist. Choo-Choo Is
Charlie Justice, two-time North
Carolina All-America.
Strong admirers Of each other
and with careers that ran a
startling parallel. Walker and
Justice shook hands and talked
over a lot of things yesterday
afternoon when the North Caro-
lima football squad arrived In
Dallas where next Monday the
Tar Heels play Rice in the Cotton
Bowl. It was the first time they
had seen each other.
Walker won't be in a bowl game
this time-hen just be watching
the Choo-Choo try to railroad the
Rice express.
There is one thing on which the
two differ-that's conversation.
Walker never says much-not
even when spoken to. Justice
chatters away. He will give sports
writer's a direct, quick answer on
anything.
Walker probably talked more to
Justice than anybody he's ever
met. But it was pretty private.
About the only thing that
leaked out was the fact that
Walker and Justice, who will
captain opposing teams in the

Regardless of the schedule, the
Syracuse Nationals still would
be in first place in the Eastern
Division of the National Basket
ball Association, according to Nat
Player-Coach AL Cervi.
Counting last nights 87-85 loss
to the Caps at Uline Arena, Syra-
cuse has lost only four games In
27, but the Eastern loop leaders
have won II of 18 games against
Western Division clubs. Because OF
q freak in the scheduling, the Mats
play Eastern and Central Division
clubs only twice each. They play
their final game with the Caps
at Syracuse Sunday. -

the schedule" says Cervi, obvious
" irked by reports the Nationals
are getting the Eastern Division
title as a present" from the
NBA schedule-makers.
"I'd like to see this club (the
Caps) or any other take those
Sheboygan and Tri-City trips,
They're tough. With the excep-
ton of Waterloo and Denver
those Western clubs are just as
hard to beat at home as any in
the league"
The other clubs in the Western
circuit are Anderson, indianapolis,
Tri-City and Sheboygan.
"We would much rather play
the same schedule as the other
Eastern clubs" says Cervi, who
has been kicking around the pro
court circuits since 1887. "But
we still would be in first place.
Not by as great a margin. but we'd
still be out 'front.'"

was proudest of his kicking feats.
The recent trouble in the restau-
rant of Reubin, friend of Brick
ley's, was reported to have started
when a patron pointed out tho
elder Brickley to another patron,
who exclaimed:
"You mean that old bald-headed
so-and-so is the great Charlie
Brickley?"
Brickley, who was chosen on
Walter Camps All America teams
of 1912 and 1918, played on the
same elevens under Coach Percy
Haughton with the equally great
Eddie Mahan and the late Tack
Hardwick. Brickley captained tho
1914 Harvard team but was forced
out of action during the season
by an attack Of appendicitis and
got back only to kick an extra
point against Yale.
After graduating Brickley en-
tered the brokerage business in
Boston but soon transferred his
operations to New York.
Some of Brickley's kicking feats
would astonish modern 1T"
formation players.
During one game with Prince
ton in 1912, he kicked three field
goals to break a TT tie and give
Harvard q 1877 win. One OF the
kicks-his longest ever-was 48
yards.
He also won the 1913 Princeton
game single-footed. The game was
deadlocked, 90, in rain and mud.
when Brickley drop-kicked from
the fields edge and scored the
points that won Harvard's game,
80.
He had performed the same feat
the year before against Dartmouth.
During his two big years, it was
Harvard's strategy to gain ground
mostly to bring Brickley within
range Of the opposition goal posts.
His presence on the field was rated
an automatic six points for Har-
ward.
He rarely place-kicked, relying
on his almost infallible drop kick
skill.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Charlie
Brickley. 58-year-old former Har-
ward drop-kicking star who died
suddenly in his hotel room here
last night after a heart attack,
left at least two records that may
be more enduring than any shaft
of granite erected to his memory.
Future generations of gridmen
may find his mark Of 13 field goals

varsity competition, elusive targets.
Brickley's unerring toe lifted him
to a position among the great
American football players of all
time and his death will be mourned

Henry Garrity, a friend of
Brickley. heard groans coming
from Brickley's room at the
George Washington Hotel last
night and summoned the house

pass key and found the former
football star lying on the floor.
Brickley was pronounced dead by
DR.. Alan Moody, ambulance sur

The younger Brickley said his
father had been Ill for q year, but
refused to give up work.
"He just wouldn't rest, he
wouldn't give up. He was a champ

Brickley also is survived by his
widow Katherine and another
son, John T. Brickley. No time
