UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu-
gene, Or, Dec. John f. Parsons,
Oregons star right halfback, was
elected captain of the 1914 football
team today at a meeting of Coach
Bezdek's regulars. Only twelve play
ers who have earned their letters the
past season were eligible to vote A
secret ballot was taken, Parsons re-
CeiEing majority. on the first count
Not only does the fact that Parsons
will be a senior in college next fall
qualify him for the honor. but his
work the past two seasons has made
him the logical choice. He was by
ali odds the greatest ground gamer
on the team. and was picked as all
Northwest halfback both years.
During the summer of 1911 Parsons
contracted typhoid fever in Alaska,
and after hard siege he entered
oregon in the fall. Fat but fragile
after his illness, Parsons failed to
show the class which had earned him
prep school fame, although he worked
out with Warmers squad. His per
formances since then. however, need
no comment.
Parsons is % years old, five feet
nine inches tall, weighs 100 pounds
and is a member of Sigma M fr.tern-
ity.
Parsons is a Seattle boy, and is
well known by local followers of high
school football.
Coming to this city from the South,
Parsons joined the Lincoln high foot
ball squad in 1909. He was the sen
sation of the season, and helped the
north end aggregation win the city
and Sound championship. He was
one of the best backfiela men ever
developed in Seattle, and his choice
as leader of the oregon team is pleas
ing to his local admirers
CHICAGO. Dec, New York eX-
perts agree that what Connie Mack is
to the baseball world, Glenn Warner
is to the football world.
If anyone objects to the statement
that Warner is the greatest football
coach in America it can be modified
to the assertion that the Carlisle In
dams are the most wonderful perform
ers. year after year, in the country.
Carlsle's victory over Dartmouth
was indeed surprise. The public
and cries were hardly prepared for
an Indian victory over the New Hamp-
shire eleven, and Carlisle's margin of
triumph. therefore, was one of the
distinct surprises of the year. even
more of a contradiction of form than
Pittsburcs success over Warmers
team. Dartmouth's strength had been
demonstrated against Pennsylvania
and Princeton, and the Green was gen
orally considered one of the strongest
teams of the year. and one of the best
elevens ever sent out of Hanover.
There is no doubt that Glenn Warn
er is a. football genius. What he
would accomplish at an institution

unlimited and be given a free hand is
not difficult to imagine.
There is no lack of numbers of the
government school. Most every boy
student of Carlisle loves the game and
plays it, but the average age is so
low that many preparatory schools
put elevens on the gridiron that are
composed of older. and heavier boys
than those composing the Indian Var
sity.
Mr.. Warner has developed some
great teams at Carlisle. but even in
the years when he has had the strong
est team he has experienced great diff
ficulty in finding suitable men to take
the place of his stars when the lat
team that Warner puts on the field.
When a Varsity player is forced to
leave the game no suitable substi-
tute Is available to take his place.
Yet the Indians win.
Mr.. Warner works magical effects
in his shifts in his team. He makes
backs out of forwards and vice versa.
Handicapped at the start of the sea-
son by the refusal of Bergie. Vince
lock and Arcasa to return to school,
Warner was obliged to develop men to
