Princeton Has New Captain;
Harvard and Yale Have
Men Selected

New York, n. Y, Dec. 2.-One of the
big e''-Princeton-has already
elected its captain for the ensuing
season. The honored one is Talbot
Taylor Pendleton, the dashing half
back, who in 1912 viii be playing his
third year on the eleven. Harvard
and Yale have yet TO choose their
leaders, but in each case 1t is com
paratfveIy easy to predict the man
Harvard is certain to select Percy
Iangdon Wendell, the human bullet,
who was nine-tenths of the Crimson
strength both on attack and deIence
this year and last year as wei. Like
Pendleton, Of Princeton, he VIII be
senior next fall and will be playing
his third season as az varsity regular
Camp Looms at Yale.
At Yale there viii be something
more like a contest, but Walter camp
ir.. looms above his rival teammates
Pomeisler and Spalding. The custom
at the large universities IS Jnat oh1y
seniors are eligible for the caplalhcy
ROmeisler. Camp and Spaldtng VIII al
he fourth year men next season ana
the two unsuccessful candidates viii
not have q chance to come PACK LoI
the nomination again. BoneisieI u1u
Great work at end in the princeton
Eame but Camps work through the
entire season places him apoFe PO-
Tneisler Spalding was hardly as Va1u-
able to the team as either OF tHe
others And. If popularity cuts a very
6fe fieure in the election, 1t VIII aid
tbe son of the greatest living grlolroh
Each Had one Of Prominence.
Each of the big trio OF eastern teams
had a man who stood head and shouiQ-
ers above the rest in prominence tnls
wear. Princeton had Sanford 8 W IlLe'
otherwise Sammy" Harvard had Wen
dell and Yale had Camp. me ldsl
named was the most versatile Of the
three He was as great a deIenslE e
DIaver as were the Others ne was al
most as good a ground-galner as W en-
deli and he was in addition one OF Lne
sfar hunters and drOp-kickers Of the
season The others were scarcelY OF
college .calibre when It came 10 KICK
ing. Sam White is almost assured OF u
the captaincy of Pr1nceLons 1915
eleven because of his wonderful Work
in winning the Yale and Harvard
games this year, whether he does Wen
next year or not.
In event that Camp and wendell are
selected for next years Yale and Har-
yard leaders, each OF the teams WI
have its captains playing in different
position than the man who pore Us
standard this year Ednie mart OF
Princeton was a tackle, While his sue
cessor, PendletOns is haiIDack. At
thur Howe OF ] ale was quar- leIDdcA'
while Camp is a half back Bob Fisher
Of Harvard was a guard, while Wendell
some Probable Captains.
The complexion Of the electlons LOT
CAPTAINS at the other big universities
seems as follows: Carlisle-Jim Thorpe,
halfback. will succeed Sampson Burd;
Cornell-Quarterba Butler VIII sue
coed fullback Billy Munk; Dartmouth
Halfback Hogsett will succeed Eddie
Daley; Army-Taclle Dean viii sue
coed Bob Hyatt; Pennsylvania close
contest between four men to succeed
fullback Mercer; Maya close contest
between five men to succeed Johnny
Dalton.
Many suggestions have been made for
changes in the rules for 1912, to equal
lie the advantage that the offense now
possesses over the defense. The prob
lem several years ago was TO help the
defence. Now it is reversed All man
ner of recommendations have been
made some of them worthy of con-
sideratiOn, others little short Of the
