WASHINGTON. PA, Dec. 26.-John
Heisman, for three years Pcnnsyivania
gridiron instructor, came here on Sat-
urday and conferred with the local
authorities relative 70 taking over tho

said that no decision bad been reached,
that no contracts for any one had been

The outcome OF the elections does not
prove that llnemen make better cap
tains. II is a matter Of figures and
percentages. In football seven members
Of team are llnemen. tho other four
backs. Considering these figures It
may readily be seen that the percentage
Is In favor Of moro linemen being
eligible 20 lead their teams. The ratio
Is about e3 TO 81 and 1928 will run
true 10 form.
II Is interesting TO note that Of the
forty-nine captains thirteen are guarde,
thirteen tackles and eleven haifbacks.
while only three quarterbaeks are IN
the list. This practically kills the
old Idea that the quarterback should
be the actual as well as nominal field
general.
Several other interesting items may
be CLEANED from the list OF captains
elect. For instance Walter Koppiseh.
Of Columbia, is the only captain 20 be
reelected. The speedy halfbaek per-
formed so well that his mates decided
70 honor him again.

many moons ago. Jack Schlierman,
the center, has been rewarded with this
honor; 1922, being the hrst year Of
the football revival at c. c. n. T.. no
leader was chosen.
There is quite an odd feature con-
nsctod with the service school selee-
tions. The Army selected Dennis
MullIgan, a tackle. while the Navy
honored arthur Conroy, a guard. Both
boys are from New York and they
