1917 CAPTAIN CHOSEN TODAY

The University football team will meet at Notman's today at 12.45 o'clock to elect the captain for 1917 and to have their picture taken. This meeting was called suddenly because the management learned that several of the players are about to leave Cambridge.

If, according to custom, a Junior is elected captain, there are eight men eligible, five of whom were regulars on this year's eleven.

R. Horween '18 was regular fullback and after two years of experience has developed into an excellent punter and line-plunger. W. J. Murray '18 was first substitute quarterback and played throughout the Princeton game. W. F. Robinson '18, regular quarterback, was the best drop-kicker on the team and made the only score for the University squad against Yale.

W. B. Snow '18 secured a regular position at guard late in the season, and played a consistent game. T. C. Thacher '18, defensive halfback, played the entire fall and was the pivotal point of the secondary defence. W. H. Wheeler '18 is conceded by most critics to be the most powerful man in the University line, and is a possible choice for an All-American tackle. M. Wiggin '18, substitute centre, though light for his position, is a scrappy fighter. M. Taylor '18 has been a substitute tackle for two years and won his letter in 1915. The only regular from the class of 1919 is E. L. Casey, who starred as halfback both on offence and defence.
