CENTER FAVORED FOR
FOOTBALL CAPTAIN

1t was only few years ago that
the quarter back was quite prominent
on the list of football captains-elect,
hut the list for 1920 fails to show the
field general of the gridiron to marked
advantage. In a list of captains for
1920, made up from the announcement
already made on elections, the center
gets the call over any other position
on the eleven. From a list of 81
eastern teams no less than six pivot
men have been honored, with such not
ables as Syracuse, Pittsburg, Yale,
Princeton, and Columbia picking the
center man.
Half backs lead in one respect. since
eight of the 81 captains named below
are SO listed, but in view of the fact
that each team has two half backs to
a single pivot man the six centers take
premier ranking to eight half backs.
Tackles and full backs rank next in
| line. each with five captains, with four
quarter backs. three ends, and two
guards completing the list.

The opening of the much talked OF
International Sporting club in New
York has beer postponed until the
completion of it's clubhouse. which Is
expected to be some time late in the
summer or in the fall In making this
announcement Secretary Empie also
stated that Jimmy Wilde's contract
with the club has been cancelled and
the little Englishman will not have
the honor of opening the most import
ant club in the history of the American
ring.
Wilde's contract was cancelled be
cause of his poor showing against
Jack Sharkey, who defeated the little
Englishman in a bout at Milwaukee a
few weeks ago. Wilde was dis
appointment and the officers of the
International Sporting club decided
that he would not do for the opening
:, attraction. A clause in the contract
, permits the club to cancel the match
if Wilde's drawing power becomes at
, fected.
1t was originally planned to open
the club in temporary Quarters in the
Lexington opera house with Wilde and
Joe Lynch as the head liners. Now
