That the increase in the rental

CURED in leaving more land for
garden and recreation space around
the apartment house, is the opinion
of John Taylor Boyd. jr., who is
consulting architect to the New

also to the New York Commission
for the Revision Of the Tenement
House Law
Comparative figures of land costs
per room and per family prove
that the apartment house on low

that it can support, with but very
slight extra financial charge as
compared with the existing custom
of high coverage, a larger proper
ton of unbuilt-on area of site
than can either the single-family or

by the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, December 14.-To
eliminate politics." selections of all ath-
letic captains at the University of Min
nesota hereafter will be made by
coaches of the various teams.
The plan, an innovation in the Big
Ten, was announced by the student SEN
ate committee on intercollegiate athletics
at the annual foot bali banquet last
night. 1t came just as secret ballots
naming the foot ball captain for 1929
were to be opened and it created a sem
Sation.
Il, explaining the move, the senate
committee issued a statement, which
read in part:
The selection of captain to lead a
Minnesota team in intercollegiate games
is so fixed custom and embraces so
much in the way of tradition that it Is
not one to be taken slightly or discon-
tinued without most thoughtful con-
sideration Yet it is the opinion of your
senate committee on intercollegiate ath-
letics that the time has come when the

continuance of the custom.
accordingly, your committee has
ruled, as is its prerogative, that in the
future there will be no election of cap
tains of athletic teams at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, but that in lieu
thereof the head coach in each sport
will name a captain for each game as
the season progresses. 1t is thought
that this appointment may be rotated
from game to game in accordance with
the best Judgment of the coach--po
sibly this rotation may be among seniors
who are on the team.
There has come to your committee
within the past few weeks unimpeach-
able evidence that politics has entered
into the election which was to have
been announced here tonight. outside
influences of very dangerous charac-
ter. especially the influence of fraterni-
ties and other organizations, have been
brought to bear in a manner inimical to
the best interest of an athletic team
representing this institution.
1T is submitted that if the present
situation were continued to a logical
conclusion we might we'll expect in
some future year to have Minnesota
players feel as they go into game that
they are representing a certain frater-
nifty on the field of athletic sport, rather
than the University of Minnesota, in in
tercollegiate games"
