 that someone else will get the position. The committee in rendering an adverse decis- ion on Waters' election states that 1t re, grets very much that Waters Is not to be captain of the eleven, but that his election would be contrary to its policy concerning graduate captains.
 The committee states that 1t approved of the election of Wiggins as captain of the nine because he was the only available man. There are two eligible men in col
 lege to take the esptainoy of the football team, Brewer and Emmons, with the chances in favor of Emmons, who Is an older player than Brewer.
