 T() LEAD YALE AGAIN
1919 Leader Is Unanimous Choice
 Brother Mike to Head Tigers

New Haven, Dee. 4.-Fightins nm Callahan. less Frequently known 'aS John Timothy. was reelected to thc cuptuncy of the Vale football team
 last night The election, when was rntl,us,asticuiIy unanimous, took place .,t inc .,1-'' club at d banquet attended h1- all letter men and coaches. Inc
 men were not certain that i'm WoulI return to college, but when they heard him state last night his intention of cuminy back all reflections over the rclatilr merits of Jimmy Acosta and EIido KnmptOn for next years leader were driven to tho winds and Tins re- election became but a matter ot COurSc.
 Tim Callahan comes from Lawrence, Mass He is "A years old and weighs 19O pounds. His prep school training was received at Phillips and AndoVer. Besides playing football there he play ed on his Yale frCShnan team, Cupc Blacks 1916 eleven, and on the lat ter's famous Newport Reserves service te3m Tim was heralded as all-Amer-
 can center in 1916, and many prophe- sy despite the few games he could play in this year because of leg injuries that his wonderful play against
 Brown Princeton and Harvard again will land him this honor
 -Four other Yale captains have been reelected, but Tim is the first since , Frank Hinckcy's days in 1893 ana 1894. Ray Tomphins explained the Blue in 'S2 and '83, Walter Camp in '7S and '79 and E! V. Barker in '7e and TT.
 Three Brothers to Lead Teams. The applause which thundercd through the "Y' club when Tim was reelected had hardly silenced when It was announced that Mike Callahan had been elected captain of Princeton, and Yale men wasted no time express ing their approval of the selection. Mike became well known to most of the Yale team while in Boston, and it is the opinion of all who met him that Mike exactly reflects his brothers gentlemanly and sportsmanlfke char acter. Add to this the younger broth CTS election as captain next season of Lawrence highs football team and the result is a bevy of Capt. Callahans to muddle up next years football public. As a result of Tim's returning to New Haven next fall, Spider Rein hardt and Tom Dickens have both ex- pressed their intention of coming book, Other veterans available will be Bob Lay, Thorne Murphy, Fido Kemp ton, Leon Walker, Ray Munger and Hamill all of whom could take a war degree this June, but who will return for another season, and also the under cla Ssn en, AcOsta, Calvin and MacAl- drich.
 Don and Ed Welles, the twins, are still thinking it over.' Yale wolld like to see the latter pair return, es- ,;,,1J1 no, rnt b l. ] though it was the intention of the ] coaches ti~t he get the insignia, tho l hair raising circumstances of the last l period of the Harvard game made it l impossible and as d result Don Welles, l along with Thorne Murphy and Ned ; Gaillard could not be sent in.
 ! Tim Callahan's first move after the 1 Harvard game was to start a cam- 1 paign to land Tad Jones back here 1 next fall. He has already taken steps ] to induce the 1916 championship pro- ] ducer to return. Tim will not go to ] the coast, however, unless it is abso- ] lutely necessary.
 1 No DiSsenSiOn, Sharpe.
 ! Dr. Al Sharpe, athletic director at
 Yale, returned to the university yes-
 terday to resume his duties as coach.
 He was asked why Yale lost in the Harvard game and he said that his
 team could not hold the ball. adding
 that 8 team that cannot hold the ball 1 cannot score. He said it was all
 ''bosh' to say there were dissensions 1 among the coaching staff or that Yale
 stuck to old football plays all the sea-
 son. As to the future Dr. Sharpe said :: ! Yale isn't likely to have a season like
 this one again in a hurry.
