GATES ELECTED YALE CAPTAIN

Artemus Lamb Gates, Yale 1918, of Clinton, Iowa, was elected captain of the Yale football team for 1917, by a unanimous vote in accordance with custom.

Gates prepared at Hotchkiss, where he was a regular tackle on the team. In his freshmen year at Yale he also played tackle and for the last two years he has held down that position on the university team. His playing all fall has led to his being chosen by most of the football critics as tackle on the all-Eastern elevene. His brilliant tackling and following of the ball was a feature, in the games with Princeton and the University, and his recovery of Legore's fumble in the latter game was directly responsible for the Yale touchdown. Gates is 20 years old, weighs 180 pounds and is 6 feet tall.
