Brickley, who is on a short leave of absence from his coaching duties at Johns Hopkins University, took practically all of the backfield men and gave them a half-hour drill in drop-kicking, paying particular attention to the work of W. Whitney '16. Brickley himself kicked several perfect goals from the 45-yard line. C. Blagden '02, and R. T. P. Storer '14, gave the tackles a short drill in dummy line scrimmage, and M. J. Logan '15 coached the squad of quarterbacks on their defensive duties, laying special emphasis on the running back of kicks...
