LEADERS OF THE

SOME FACTS ABOUT FIELD
PILOTS OF THE BIG UNI
vERSlTY ELEvENS.
GENERALSHIP ABILITY NEEDED
Veteran Players Of Gridiron Game
Are Feeling Weight on Shoulders
More Than Ever 5efore-Captaincy
Of Team Nowadays Requires Con.
siderable Brain Work.

The captain of revised football
eleven requires generalship ability un.
doubtedly greater than that of any
other director Of game played on
American fields. and his job is as re.
sponsible as II is glorious. All over
the country veteran players Of the
gridiron game are feeling weight
on their shoulders greater than ever
before, and when the first season
tests are over 1t will be found that In
many teams 1t no longer Is the cap
tain by name who Is governing the
team, but some executive head lieu
tenant, who has been found able to
plan campaigns while still using his
body to the limit of its playing abil'
ity. In the old probate game many an
individual showing suffered under the
weight of leadership, but the new
rules have made it Nfar worse. Men
as great as Shevlin and Harris have
seen their physical play degenerate
when the throttle was placed in their
hands, but with revised football the
best men may go down even more
than was the case last year.
Many of the big schools were for
tunate this year in captaincy mate
rial, but 1t is more than popularity
and team judgment that picks Amer
ica's football captains. In nearly al
cases the election really is little more
