The (Continued on page two) HARVARD GRID STAR APPEALS FROM JAIL TERM Charles Brickley Given 15- month Sentence For Lar- ceny From Clients Boston, March 23.—.?)—Charles E. Brickley, captain of the Harvard football team of 1914 and one the greatest dropkickers ever in the game, today was at liberty in $20,- 000 bail pending an appeal from a sentence of 15 months in Charles street jail for conducting a bucket shop and larceny from clients. Brickley was sentenced late yes- terday afternoon in the Suffolk su- perior c! inal court by Judge Pat- rick Keating, himself a Harvard graduate, after Brickley’s counsel, William H. Lewis, all-American and Harvard center of 20 years ago, had made a stirring plea for leniency. Brickley, in a brief address to the court, said: “I am very sorry any- one lost money through my tradings in the stock market and if the wheel of fortune ever turns my way again, I hope to fay back all my obliga- tions.” Lewis said that in appearing for Brickley he did so more as a friend than an attorney. “He played the game that only the topnotch can lay,” Lewis told the court. “I have eard the bands play and have seen him borne from the field on the shoulders of those who idolized him, He has not played the game of life quite so successfully. Pleads For Another Chance “Brickley wasn’t a clever stock rator and he was not a thief. Let him go out from here to work with a pick and shovel or to drive an ice wagon, but let him start anew.” Two other Harvard graduates were concerned in the case—Assist~ ant District Attorney Frederick T, ye, who prosecuted the case and who opposed the probation that a number of friends of Brickley had recommended in their part as char- acter witnesses, and Walter A. Mur- ray, clerk of court, who read the * Brickley iginally charged y was originally char with larceny of $40,000 from clients but after elimination of 10 counts by verdict, he was convicted of theft of $10,000 in money and securities from Mrs. Georgia Boynton of Marlboro and the larceny of a smaller sum from Patrick Callahan of this city. The Callahan indict- ment was placed on file. Among those to testify against Brickley was James J. Shea, once a Boston college football star and a of a team which Brickley
