2-For the first time Id twenty-five years Harvard crushed Princeton on the gridiron today, the score of a most sensational game being 16 to 6. More than .35,000 men and women sat In the -huge at-, dluih and marvelled at the Surprising strength of the Crimson eleven. In bold relief the wonderful kicking of Harvards star halfback, Charles Brick-ley, stood out. Brickley, feqon after the second period, began, when the score WasO to 0, kicked a field goal from the 15 yard line. These three points were more than offset a few moments later, when a combination of two forward panes enabled Tubby Waller to score the Tigers only touchdown.

Pendleton's failure to catch the punt out deprived Prluecton of the usual goal trial, and the Bcore stood 6 to 3 against the crimson when the second period ended. It was In the third period, however, that Brtckley's kicking put old Nassau out of It. He drop kicked a goal from the 14 yard line after DeWltt's fatal fumble of a pass, and tttat tied the score. Then after Gardner made a heady fair catch on Princeton's 47 yard line Brickley kicked a magnificent goal from placement, driving the leather squarely over the middle of the crossbars and placed Harvard on top, with the totals standing 9 to 6. 4 It was In the fourth and last period that Brickley, while taking part In a slashing onslaught, which resulted In a Harvard touchdown was kicked In the head and so painfully Injured that tt was necessary to carry him off the battlefield.

But before he left the scene of the Crimsons triumph Hardwick battered his way over the Tigers goal line and subsequently kicked a neat goal from an angle which finished Harvard's scoring and sent the Tigers back to the Jungle, with the total 16 to 6 against them. Harvard's general play was a reveTa tlon even to the sharps. In the first place the condition of the Cambridge men proved to be of vital Importance. They stood up under tbe battering of Princetons attack with remarkable fortitude, and then baring fought the sons of Old Nassau to a standstill In point of defensive tactics the Harvard players started In to cut the enemy into ribbons. At punting, la catching and running back kicks, in generalship and in dogged determination to earry the fair Harvard excelled and yet It was not without the hardest kind of football, inasmuch as the Princeton eleven fought with great courage until the last whistle concluded ths struggle.

Harvards victory was so impressive that the great crowd went wild with ynn. UNIVERSITY OF MAINE. Nov. 3. The University of Maine, football spec-.

The utmost good feeling and eportsmausblp 'pre-vailed, for In the hour of defeat Princeton generously cheered the conquerors and Harvard returned the compliment with full measure. It might be said that Brtckley's goal kicking alone brought about the downfall of the Jerseymen, for hie educated boot rolled up more than enough points to offset the Tigers total. But It was Harvards alertness and vigorous hustling that worked the ball to within striking distance of Prlneeton'a goal posts, thereby making It possible for Brickley to complete hie successful drop kicks.

Each goal made In this manner was practically an easy task, but the goal from placement was one of. the most spectacular fasts ever recorded In football history. When Gardner made his fair catch which led to this Incident he stood on the 47 yard mark, or near the cente? of the gridiron. brisk wind wa blowing out of the northwest diagonally across the field in the faces of the Harvord players. Nothing daunted, Brickley decided to take the chance.

Lying flat upon the ground Gardner poised the ball, with the Princeton players arranged In the usual defensive Around the gridiron sat Harvard and Princeton men and women, all silent. Not one man in ten believed (hat Brickley could drive the pigskin so great a distance with the necessary momentum and accuracy to carry it across the magic bar. As Iirlckley took a few rapid steps and then drove his right foot under the leather oval the excitement of the crowd was intense. Up from the tflrf shot the ball, revolving rapidly, yet making surprising headway against the young gale. Over and over It twisted toward the Intended mark.

With Increasing speed. It seemed. It sped onward, high over the heads of the discomfited Tigers and whirled over the posts directly across tho-wooden beam. Thousands of Harlard flags fluttered and thousands of- Harvard throats emitted a tremendous cheer, which was followed by hysterical cries and the blaring of the hand. The Harvard players niHhed toward Brickley and threw arms about him In ecstasy.
