Of Selecting Leader After An

The old custom of electing their
captain for the following season i'm
mediately after the Thanksgiving
game. was not followed by the Caro-
lima team yesterday. 1t was thought
that a leader Of the squad would be
selected at the close of the banquet
given the victorious Tarheels at MUIR
phys Hotel last night. but 1t was an
nounced that the election would not
be held until the team and student
body had returned to Chapel Hill.
II Is understood that several candi-
dates are in the field for the position
as captain Of the team, among whom
are Bill Folger. hero of yesterdays
encounter. and William Grimes, right
guard. The spectacular work of Fol.
ger In scoring the winning goal on
yesterday has placed him In much
prominence, and there Is the possi-
bility that he may be chosen cap

ties announced several days ago their
intention of transferring the game
from Richmond to Chapel Hill In 1917.
Their plan is to play in 1918 in Char
lottesxille, dividing the games between
the two university towns each year.
Many followers of athletics at both
institutions are highly opposed to the
plan They claim that the athletic as
soclation funds at the two universi-
Ties would suffer greatly from the lack
