Crosby CHOICE FOR
FOOTBALL CAPTAIN
Speedy Davenport High School Half
Back 20 Lead Red and Blue
Next Year.

At a meeting Of the Davenport high
school football team Saturday evening,
Crosby. the star halfback of this years
team, was chosen captain for the sea-
son of 1912. The choice of the player
is considered good. as Crosby is known
as being a hard worker and played a
splendid game at right half and full
back this season. He is generally con-
sidered one of the hardest line smash
ers that has ever been on a high school
team and is also hard, sure tackler.
Crosby worked hard for several years
on the scrubs, and it was not until this
year that he was considered good
enough to play on the first team. AT.
ter getting into the fray, however, he
was judged by the coaches as a very
heady and capable player. and is ex
pected TO be worthy Of the high honor
bestowed on him. Crosby was a gen,
eral selection for a position on the tri.
city all-star team this year.
