WHY YALE ELECTED BURCH
Tradition Opposed to Medical School
Man Leading Team.
Determined stand Of College AEafnst
Arthur Brides Has Developed
Some Hard Feelings.

New Haven. Conn. Jan. 26.-The elec-
tion on Wednesday evening Of r. B.
Burch Of Cincinnati. as Yale football
captain for lS0S brought 10 d close the
most interesting contest for the position
OF a captain at Yale that has ever taken
place.
The contest has not been without a lot
OF feeling. 1t was from the beginning a
fight between the graduate and the un-
dergraduate departments Of the univer-
sity. Arthur f. Brides, Of Brockton,
Mass. acknowledged To be one OF the
most versatile football players that Yale
has had in a long time. a student In the
medical school. represented the graduate
department Among the undergraduates
who were entitled 70 vote for the cap
talncy were number of men who were
thoroughly convinced that Brides was
the best man for captain. These men
voted for Brides and stuck by him until
the end
The undergraduates at first put forward
Coy, the fuI back, and an opponent to
Brides. There was a very strong and
[
that he Is now a sophomore. and If elect
ed this year would undoubtedly be cap
tain for two years. This has been proven
bad practice in Yaies experience. a
man never makes a good captain for two
( successive years. There was also the OBJ
/ lection that Coy was too young a man
in point Of experience to be captain. For
1 this reason a number Of men voted on
the original ballot for Burch as against
Brides. The FIRST attempt to elect a cap
/ tain resulted IN a failure, the vote being
"a tie.
At the first election Berger. one of tbs
players was absent. and the election
was postponed until he returned % coll
/ lege Then. however. it was decided
that the manager and assistant maTager
Of the team should be allowed 10 vote al
the next meeting. so that there would
be no possibility Of a tie vote This
action has been the subject OF q great
deal of criticism, as II established a
! precedent which many critics consider
dangerous. 1t has always been the Gus
tom at Yale that only those players who
took part in one or both Of the cham
pionship games should have a vote for
/ the captain Had the situation not been
strained one between the two depart
ments, the allowing Of the manager and
assistant manager 20 have a vote would
! not have created any comment
/ The graduate schools have been turned
down before in struggles for the position
/ Of minor. captains, and the case OF Brides
viii undoubtedly continue 20 be a sore
| point between the two departments.
