TO Lead TEAMS
Election Of Charley Brickley
Completes Roster of
Leaders.
QUARTER BACKS In FIELD

The Crimson team got together at the
! Harvard Club in Boston the other day
and selected Charles Brickley as the
captain of next years eleven. The new
! leader is an undoubted An-America man
and richly deserves the honor bestowed
| upon him. His work in the past two
years has been remarkable. Not only is
he the greatest drop kicker in the coun-
try. but he is also a strong line plunger
and end runner and a good defensive
back The election OF Brickley shows
clearly the new spirit of Harvard ath-
letics, for he is neither rich youth nor
is he a member of the most exclusive
Boston society. He is, however. a fine
chap. a good student and a great foot
ball player.
With the election OF Brickley the list of
next years captains is about complete
There were probably more half backs
picked to lead teams than men from any
other position. The following is a partial
list of captains playing this position:
Dartmouth-L A. whitney
Gettysburg-G Shafer.
Georgetown-F. Murray.
Worrestnr Poly-T COynP.

Ursinus-R. MIttGrlinS

EIeter-E. /. Casey.
Indiana-M. ErehArt.
Amherst-W. II. Warren.
IOWa-L Dick.
OTegon-J. Parsons
The Quarter Backs.
Many quarter backs were selected as
leaders by their comrades. This has al
ways been a favorite spot from which TO
select a captain. probably for the reason
that the quarter back usually gives the
signals and is also in fine position TO
direct the work of all the other men.
Among those chosen to command elevens
next year are:
Army-v E. Pritchard.
Northwestern-W HiEhtOwer.
TirEinia-R. h Gooch.
Holy Cross-W J. Mullen.

The Guards and Centers.
Almost all of the teams that chose
their captains from men at or near the
