(RHEUMATISM)
URIC ACID CAUSES IT-S.S.S. CURES IT
Every variety of Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the
blood; the different forms of the disease depending on whether this uric acid
settles in the nerves, muscles or joints. In Sciatica it is the nerves which
are attacked, the muscular form shows the muscles to be the seat of trou
ble, while manifestations of articular Rheumatism are evidence that the
joints are being diseased. To cure Rheumatism the uric acid must be re
moved from the blood; the circulation must be made pure. This cannot
be accomplished with external applications; such treatment may furnish
temporary relief from the pain, but it does not reach the producing cause.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism of every variety and form because it purifies the
blood. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes the acids and dis
solves the irritating deposits which are pressing on the sensitive nerves
and tissues, and producing pain. Whetheryourca.se of Rheumatism be
acute or chronic S. S. S. is the medicine you need; it will cure you and at
the same time build up the entire system by its fine vegetable tonic effects.

Charley Brickley, Sensational
Field Goal Kicker of Harvard,
Was Always Star on Gridiron
EfGHT years ago the manager
of the football team that rep
resented Everett High school
sent out his annual call for stu
dents. The institution wanted an
eleven and the manager took the
customary way of having one
formed.
Among those who reported to the
coach on the school athletic field
that day in September was a
sturdy, good looking, compact, con
fident piece of masculinity. He an
swered to the roll when the name
Brickley was called.
He was dark haired and had eyes
of Irish blue. He had the fighting
qualities of that race. He was a
scrapper from the drop of the bon
net.
.If you want to know how Brick
ley fared, pick up the public prints
and read how the Crimson of Har
vard floated to triumph over the
Orange and Black of old Nassau.
Scan the columns of copy that
have been written telling how the
lads of Cambridge slew the Tiger,
and then you' wilT find how Brick
ley kiqked Princeton out of the
i hpmplonship.
Weighs 180 Pounds.
And now, of course, you want to
know something about Brickley.
Very well, you shall have it. Brick
ley is now 23 years old, stands 5
feet 8 inches above the ground and
when the scales touch the 180-
pound mark, why, they hit Charley's
avoirdupois.
The coach at Everett that season
was Ted Jennings. The latter had
been the greatest halfback which
Everett had turned out previous to
that time. He went subsequently
to Dartmouth, where the name is
still numbered among those who
did yeoman service for the green
on the gridiron.
Jennings, in his elementary in
struction,had the men fall on the ball
and pass it. The system of coach
ing gradually broadened until there
came the line-up. Young Brick
ley, then a freshman, was shunted
to the second string. He stayed
there during one half.
At the shank of the first half the
subs took the ball. The signal was
shouted. The ball was snapped.
Brickley started. He squirmed
around the end. He dodged the
secondary defense. He uncorked a
burst of speed. He skipped 60
yards down the field for a touch
down.
Back to the center of the field
came the ball. The first eleven
kicked off; straight to C. E. Brick
ley. Again the brilliant kid deftly
caught the whirling sphere. Once
more he tucked the pigskin under
his arm and was away like a flash.
Not an opposing tackle reached him
and again he had scored for the
subs.
Makes the First Eleven.
That settled his status. Jen
nings yanked him out of the sec
ond string and threw him in >as
fullback on the varsity. He re
mained there four years. He made
all-interscholaStic teams three of
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1912
his four years at Everett. He soon
became known as the best school
boy back in New England.
Charley readily measured, too,
with any school boy back field man
in the East. His diversified tal
ents included everything within the
line of academic and esoteric foot
ball. He tore through the line with
the power of a locomotive. He
eluded the ends and skirted by the
secondary defense in wonderful
bursts of speed.
On the defense he proved a stal
wart. Rarely did he fail to nail his
man when the secondary back was
called upon to get the man with
the ball, after the end had smashed
the interference.
But he did not rest his facile as a
school boy entirely on .this. He
studied kicking. He became a mas
ter like Billy Bull, the famous punt
er and kicker of Yale. But Brick
ley did not care so much about dis
tance kicking. He mastered the
art of kicking that scored.
As a diop kicker he excelled any
bapk in the East, even when in high
School. His drop kicks often went
40 yards. Sometimes he even over
topped the crossbar with the ball
from distances that ran from "40 to
55 yards. In fyct, he was a verita
ble Pat O'Dea as an interscholas
tic star.
Thus did his four years at Ev
erett hold for him the future prom
ises that were fulfilled when he
beat Princeton with his cunning
foot, in interscholastic circles' he
brought Everett to the pinnacle of
champion by his dashing, doughty
and daring efforts. His runs around
the end made Somerville, Medford
and other high-elass schools bite
the dust.
'His course at Everett finished.
Brickley went to Exeter for two
years to prepare forfHarvard. At
the latter preparatory school—a
"farm” fbr Harvard, to drop into
the vernacular of baseball— Gus
Zeigler, 'the noted Pennsylvania
football player, was the coacl# The
fame of Brickley had been embla
zoned before Charley’s arrival in
the New Hampshire town where

He easily made the academic

est rival. Both were founded by
the Phillipses, and the feeling be’-
tween the two academies on the
field of athletics is o f the keenest
sort.
Mahan Stops Him.
The yearly contest between the
two brings to the gridiron where
he game is staged a crowd that
lacks none of the luster of a big
college game. Numbered among
the alumni of Andover and Exeter

payers who ever donned the mole

Pinned in his prowess and the
power of his boot , But e
Played for Brickley. She ignored
the fellows in the back field Rut
she spotted and espied him every
time. Charley would start an end
run. He would be smothered when
the end and secondary backs, often
a pair of them, would pile on him
poll mell and together.
His star went into the descend
ancy in that game, while Mahan’s
reputation scintillated. Two years
ago this was the same; Brickley’.,
Exeter reputation was shattered
One year ago last September he
entered Harvard. He, made the
freshman team, was elected Its cap
tain, and scored most of its points.
The Harvard youngsters trimmed
Yale and Princeton, and achieved
the enviable record of having one
of the greatest teams in the history
of the Crimson freshmen.

EASILY: SCORE 16 TO 0
1
Before one of the largest crowds as
sembled at a prep football game this
season, Boys High school went down in
defeat yesterday afternoon at the hands
lof Georgia Military’ academy at Ponce
DeLeon by the score of 16 to 0.
For the High school the work of Fox and
Knox stood out above that of their fellow
players. The team was in a back condi
| lion for the game, two regular backs be
ing out. Fox intercepted one of G. M.
A.'s passes and ran 25 yards before he
was downed by Brown.
For G. M. A. Brown was easily the star.
Besides preventing his team from being
scored upon by downing Fox, he made
I both of the touchdowns, one for a run
of six yards and the other for 50. Babb
also played a good game.
This victory gives the pennant of the
league to M, A., having come through
with a clean slate.

Carl Morris, Who Will Battle
Keating Here Tonight, Is Sure
He Has Chance To Be Champ
CARL MORRIS still believes
that he has a chance of be
coming the heavyweight cham
pion of the world, and tonight he
will endeavor to climb a step high
er on tlje pugilistic ladder by stop
ping .Lick Keating, who claims the
honor of being Canada’s champion.
Nothing is known of Keating
around tills neck of the woods. He
may be a bearcat or he may be a
bum. But Morris is a big card, and
tile fans will probably turn out to
see him work. The Dixie Athletic
club plans to bring Morris back
against Jack McFarland. Jim Stew
art and Tom Kenrtedy. It is the
intention of the promoters to make
Morris a local favorite, ajid work
hi,m as often as possible.
The big fellow worked out yes-
terday at the club, and looked pret
ty good. He has one bad fault,
however, and that is of trying to
block and lead at the same time.
This naturally takes all the force
out of his punches. Carl is try
ing to learn to be clever, and it
looks like a mistake. He is big
enough and strong enough to wade
in and take a chance.
“I like this city, and hope that I
can afford to stay here for the next
two months." said Morris today. "I
think that bouts between Stewart
and Kennedy and yours truly would
prove mighty interesting, and I will
stay here for those fellows if I can
be guaranteed enough money."
For the semi-wind-up. Mike Saul
and Eddie Hanlon will mingle for
six rounds. Frank Baker and Ed
Lovell are booked for a six-round
preliminary. A battle royal will
open the card.
