With a bare two minutes left, Mayo pulled off the flashiest play of the game: apparently kneeling to hold a field-goal try on fourth down, he carefully kept his knee off the ground, rose to fire a 21-yd. strike to Quinlan to put the Air Force on the Army 21. But when a real field-goal try failed, Mayo and the Air Force had to settle...
...well. Maintaining its streak of bad luck, Navy (2-3-1) was leading Notre Dame (2-3) until a fourth-quarter touchdown tied the score at 22-22. Then, with 32 seconds to go, Notre Dame's massive (6 ft., 225 lbs.) End Monty Stickles tried a field goal from the Navy 33, buried his head in a teammate's chest until he heard the roar of the hometown South Bend crowd that announced he had booted his team to a 25-22 victory in one of the year's memorable battles...
After 20 minutes of inconclusive struggling in 1913, the Crimson's Charlie Brickley dropkicked a 12-yard field goal to give the varsity a 3-0 lead. For the remaining 40 minutes of play, the valiant varsity line fought to contain Princeton's offense on the wet, muddy field. The Tigers twice moved deep enough into Harvard territory to try for a field goal, but each time the kick fell short. The varsity limped off the field still undefeated, but subdued. Two weeks later, Brickley, one of the greatest kickers in collegiate annals, scored 15 points on five goals from...
...dull and unequal contest, the Crimson bowed to the Indians, 11 to 0. Dartmouth's Turner, the starting right tackle, scored both of the Big Green's touchdowns out of the "tackle-back" formation. Vaughn kicked the goal after Turner's first tally, and that was all the point-making either team could manage. The unusual final score can be laid to the fact that touchdowns were then worth five points. Judged by the standards of the Crimson teams of the early 1900's, the 1903 squad was only fair. Before the Dartmouth encounter, the Crimson had dropped...
Crimson headlines after the game proclaimed, "Harvard 15, Yale 5. Brickley's 5 Goals from Field Wins (sic) Football Championship. Stadium Looks on a Yale Defeat After Eight Years Waiting." The greatest drop-kicker the game has ever known, Charlie Brickley, scored all 15 Harvard points on field goals ranging up to 40 yards in length. Brickley earlier that season had tallied the field goal that edged Princeton...
