 BRINK" THoRNE.
 Last evenings New York Mail and Express says: "Without question, the best known of the college football cap tains of to-day is Brink Thorne of Yale, This, of course, does not imply that, like Heffelfinger, he stands out sn relief as a player without an equal but simply that he has been longer and more prominently before the football public than any of this years captains. Ar,; I to ta ms of Pennsylvania, Brewer of Harvard, Wyckoff of Cornell and Mudd of Vir- ginia But, whereas Carl Williams is 2. player of much merit, and Brewer is as strong an end as Harvard ever had, and while Wyckoff is a dandy and Mudd quite a terror, particularly on a rainy day, Thorne, partly because of his identity with Yale, partly because of really good play and partly because of his halfIback position, which gives the most chances to make plays which arc recorded by reporters of games, is cer- tainly better known. This is a fact which can hardly be disputed, save, per ihaps, by Lea of Princeton, who, by the way, in his position, is quite the man that Thorne is in his. Indeed, do not | kHOW put. that, ltldH lOT lldll, Lea Is lliS better of the two. Still, it is the public we must consider entirely when we fudge by the extent player is known. Had Lea played at half-back and done as well as he has at tackle, he would probably be better known than Thorne.
 'If Thorne's good points are summed up, his great defensive play will un- doubtedly receive first mention. In fact, for picking his way through a line and mailing a runner, he has few if any tion. Next to this quality of his play is the way in which he makes runs be- tween end and tackle, or guard and tackle. At all times keeping his eyes open, and thus looking out for the ad- vantage of the moment, he is able to grasp opportunities others could no- who rushed at the line with lowered head, fault dwelt upon yesterday in the discussion on half-back and back play for the line.
 When Thorne was elected captain there were many who claimed that the choice was a mistake, for the reason that he was too nervous and would be unable to run the varied affairs of 8 team outside of actual play and also play his game From what he has don: so far, however, it may be said that he will prove a far better man than ever his friends thought probable, and this is saying a great deal"
