BRICKLEY NOT LIKELY TO COACH FOOTBALL ELEVEN OF N.Y. U. Local College Is Well Satisfied With Work of Graduate Coach Reilly. There is only a remote chance of Charles Brickley, Harvard captain and one of the greatest drop kickers the gridiron ever produced, coming to New York Unjversity next year to coach the football team. Up to the present Physical Director Cann says that no communications of any sort have been made with Brickley with a view of signing hiin for 1915, There has been considerable talk on the campus among students about the Crimson star coaching N. Y. U. in 1915, but that’s all it has nted to New York University this year for the first time appointed a graduate as coach, and there has been general satisfaction with Tom Reilly's work. | Still, there are some who believe that man with Brickley’s reputation would boom football at N. Y. U. As matters now stand it seems un- likely that Brickley will be asked to coach the Violet, despite his wish to come to Now York and seek a coash- ing position with some nearby eleven next season, —_—_—-— COST HARVARD $25,000 TO PRODUCE ELEVEN.
