THE FARMER: NOVEMBER 24, 1913 Latest and - SJN APPY SPORT SELEGT1QNS - Local and Outside News ww v sffeaf 4y Wagner f T MANY LOCAL FANS SAW HARVARD BEAT YALE TEAM -Much Money Changed Hands r Result Of Yost-Glee Club Contest On (By -Wagner.) The Yale-Harvard game is history tout 'ocal fans who saw the Crimson outpiky the Blue at Cambridge are still singing the praises of Charley Brickley. This burly youngster was all over the field. When he warn t kicking goals he was tearing through the Tale line. Intercepting Yale for ward paases or making spectacular : tackles. Big BUI Edwards, the old Princeton star, says he regards Brick ley as the greatest player of all time and the Tale coaches, including Head Coach Howard Jones, also paid tribute to the Harvard hero after Saturday's battle. Brick ley himself Is too modest and too wise to take all the -credit for,.the Crimson triumph. He knows that it was the hard work of the linemen and the sensational punting of Mahan that put him in a position to try seven goals. Much of the heroic labor toy the linemen goes unseenand unprais Cd by the spectators tout those actual ly In the game know what it means. - Coach Haughton has built a great system at Harvard and his teams are smoothly working machines. Every nan knows what he has to do and does it. This was demonstrated Satur day when the Crimson grew stronger as the game progressed and in the final period was running Yale oft its feet . Another feature that should be men tioned is the safety which Frank O'Brien of Harvard unwittingly gave to Tale. Borne critics and many wise spectators were inclined to roast O'Brien for this mistake, which was a natural one and would have been made by any other man on the team. The play had never before come up in a big game and the fact that none ef the Harvard men tried to stop O'Brien indicates that they thought he was doing right. They ' were aa much surprised as he ' when the referee called it a safety. - Few of the spectators knew what it was all about and even the officials had to confer before they made a decision. The play came after" a Tale kickoff when, -the baJLatruck the goalpost and bounded back into the field. O'Brien, thinking ft a. toachbacK. placed the ball behind his own line.

Fr officials, the managers selected Dr. II err and Tommy Lawlor of Wa terbury.. r. Herr was late in arriving and the game was delayed fully half an hour. The officials were impartial but they permitted too much argu ment by the players. The boys who play professional football should be made to understand that the official's ruling Is nnal and they ought not to be permitted to argue on every decision. Since Brickley made five goals in one game, there has been much dis cussion regarding past records., In the modern game Brickley's record is the best. Walter Eckersall who played for Chicago against Wisconsin in 1903. kicked four goals, three from the 25 yard line and one from 45 yards. The Federal leaguers are scaring the leagues a little.

The Remington-Yost football war riors retained their title of state cham pions yesterday when they beat the "Washington Glee club eleven at Yost Held by 13 to 7. It was a spectacular contest and enthused a crowd of 5,000 to the utmost. The Washington Glees brought down a big delegation, but the Yosts had their cheering section mass ed on the west stand and they held their own with the enemy in cheering. The game was hard Tought and al though the Yosts were penalized onca for -roughness, dt was not intentional and the players as a general thing played cleanly. Whalen, a former Holy Cross quarterback who was with the visitors, was painfully hurt and had to leave the game. As he was running back o kick he tried to dodge Pjura who reached forward to make a high tackle. Ae Whalen lowered his bead, PJura's arm struck the New Ha ven player in the face and the blow fractured his nose. PJura has always been a gentlemanly player and he re gretted the accident more than any body else. Beferee Herr classed the affair as too j-ougiu however, and gave the Yosts a 25 yard penalty. This put the Glees in a position to make their only score of the game. The Yosts were in the game every minute and their pluck aroused the ad miration of the spectators. They were stronger in the line than the Glees, but the visitors were better in the back fleld. . Eddie Lavery, George Moshier aad BVechette excelled the local trio. Mysterious Smith was the only one of the local backs who held his own. His punting was superb and more than once helped the . Yosts out of a tight place. Lavery and (Moshier being local boys, their presence on a visiting team called forth a mixture of cheers and jeers from the fans, but however the crowd felt about it there was no doubt that these two boys played wonderful football. The play of the Yost line was a treat to watch. The plunging backs of the Glees found it impossible to gain through the stonewall but met with better success on formations directed between tackle and end. The work of the Yost ends was faulty in some re spects although Silva and lachancu had their moments of 'brilliance. They play too close to tackle, however, and for that reason do not cover a wide enough range of territory. It was lack of headwork on the part of the ends that resulted in the .Glee's only score. At the close of the second period the visitors with the assistance of a 25 yard penalty and some hard rush ing had brought the ball to the Yost five yard line where they were aided by another penalty.' Then with only about two yards to go they bucked the Yost line three times without gaining an inch. All this time the Yost ends were drawn in close to the tackles, which was a thoughtless move. On the final down Moshier shot around Silva for a touchdown. The time was almost up and the visitors would not have scored if the ends had played out. The Yosts got the Jump on their opponents in the . early part of the game and rolled up 13 points before the enemy realized what was going on. In the first period after the Glees had failed to gain, Frechette tried a for ward pass which Reilly intercepted. He was on the west side of the field away from most of the players, and he raced along the sidelines for 65 yards and a touchdown. Silva kicked goal. In the second period the Yosts worked the ball to the 20 yard line where Reilly hurled a forward pass across the goal line to the waiting Lachance, who jumped and caught the oval. Nobody caught the kickout so the Yosts lost a try for goal. Then came the accident to Whalen and the penalty which gave the Glees a chance for a- score. In the second half the Yosts kept the visitors on the defensive and were not in danger at any time. Outside of Reilly's fine work, the efforts of Capt. McCormick. Hughes, Flanagan and Pjura in the line deserve mention. The lineup: ; Remington-'Yost. Washington Glee Club. Ijachance and Noonan .......... Baker L. K. -Abbott ............. .Ferguson (Capt.)

TALBOTT LIKELY TO CAPTAIN YALE Knowles Also Considered With Carter As Outside Choice For Coveted Position. BRICKLEY'S MOTHER DOESN'T LIKE GAME OF FOOTBALL New Haven, Nov. 24 Yale loses 'by graduation this coming June five of the men who were regulars in the line Saturday and 6ne in the backfleld. The linemen who finished their var sity football playing were Avery, left end; Capt. Ketcham, left tackle; Mar ting, center;' Pendleton, right guard; Warren, right tackle. In the backfleld of those who started the game Satur day Ainsworth alone- graduates. Of the backfleld substitutes Wheeler, the quarterback, and Dunn, the fullback;, finish in June. Of the substitute line men Harbison, Madden and Gile, none of whom got into Saturday's game, will finish. Cornish, who played quar ter until he was hurt, is also through. Ketcham has the -distinction of hav ing played on three Yale teams, made the ail-American twice with little dan ger that he will be dropped this year, and yet never having .played on a winning Yale team. His sophomore year Sammy White beat Yale and there was a tie game with Harvard; the following year Pumpelly just tied the score against Princeton and Har vard beat. Yale, 20 to 0.. This year there was a tie score with Princeton and a 16 to 5 game with Harvard. ' Talbott will probably be the next captain of the Yale team, and will be the first Sheff man to be captain since Rafferty led the team in the fall of 1903. Talbott is taking the Sheff course and has played two 'years at tackle on the varsity., Had Pumpelly played this year he would have been a strong rival for the place. As it is. But Mother Of Harvard Hero Admits That Charley Is A Wonder ful Boy Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 24 "Char ley is a wonderful boy." This sums up the estimation that Mrs. William J. Brickley has of her second eldest son, the wonderful "Surefoot" Brick ley; of Harvard football fame. No one . knows the Crimson's peer less drop kicker better than the kindly mother, who goes through a season of the greatest anxiety every Fall for fear' that her favorite son will come upon some untimely acci dent on the gridiron. Mrs. Brickley has never seen her son on the football field. She fears the dangers of the game and allows that if the slightest accident should befall the youth she would disregard conventions and rush from ' her seat on to the field. ' ' "I do not approve of football,", said Mrs. Brickley yesterday, "and I do not want my two younger boys to take it up." That prayer plays a great part in the Brickley football triumphs was evidenced when it was learned that this youthful Harvard hero always visits the church on the day of a con test. An admirer came upon him Satur day In St. Paul's Catholic Church while his celebrating comrades were within hearing distance doing their fantastic dances and shouting their cheers. ' Brickley will be twenty-two years old today. He will go to his home In Everett for a little family reunion. His work both this season and last stamps him as the only logical captain for Harvard's 1814 eleven. Brickley scored 81 of the 225 points Harvard scored this Ma son, his record being eight touch downs and eleven field goals. the only academic junior who would be considered is Carter, the right end, with just a slight chance for McLeish. In spite of Wilson's excellent play ing it is doubtful if he would be con sidered as he is only a sophomore and Yale does not elect sophomore cap tains of football teams. The last one was Frank Hinkey In 1894. Ted Coy, as a sophomore, was de feated for captain by Bob Burch. after Coy ha played the two greatest games of his career and Burch had been in the game only two minutes against Harvard at Cambridge. Knowles, who is a Sheff man, also has a chance for captain, but the outlook favors talbott HARVARD AWARDS "II" TO 77 STUDENTS Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 24.
