CAPTAINS OF THE COLLEGE
ELEVENS CHOSEN.

NEW YORK. January ALI the COL
leges have elected foot ball leaders for
1908 In almost every case the choice has
fallen upon a man who has done sensa-
tional work during the past fall. This is
particularly true of the larger colleges.
SO the leaders are bound to be seen and
heard from during the next foot ball
year.
Princeton has chosen little Eddie
Dillon to lead it's eleven. Dillon plays
quarterback and is one of the most dash
Ing players in the country. He was the
choice of many of the critics for this
years All-American team, and fully de-
serves the honor. F. H. Burr will lead
Harvard University. He played tackle,
and is also a player of more than Or
binary ability. Cornell and Pennsylvania
next year "BilT' Hollenback is the
choice of Quakers. and G. H. Valdez is
the captain of the upstate eleven. Like
the other captains already named, Hol-
lenback and Valdez are men that already
have become famous in foot ball.
P. w. Northcroft has been chosen to
ucceed Capt Douglass at Annapolis.
Northcroft plays tackle. 1t was he who
scored the goal from placement in 1906
which won for Annapolis the annual bat
tie against West Point. The Army will
be led by w. Philoon, who plays center
Although not ranked in the same class
as the other leaders, the cadet should
make good captain.
Tad Jones, the great quarterback of
the Yale eleven, and who was almost the
unanimous selection for that position on
the All-American team, will be head
coach at Yale for 1905.
