'.. Nearly all tho studonta Interested
In athletics nro glad that tho football

of ill feollng among tho mombors of
the team. Ah It woro thoro wna al

Bon's olovon.
.Tho trouble and delay In selecting
-a, football loader this year, which was
practically a repetition of tho choos
ing pf tho 1908 loader, has brought
Vlvidjy to mind tho nocosslty of a bet
tor system for gptting a captain with
out letting his selection drift into
politics. Some plan, such as making'
the, .team cbooso tho next season's
captain op tho evening of the last
game uuch fall, would do away with
practically all tho disgusting wire-,
pulling, and pruvent tho possibility of
an election by tho athletic board. It
is hoped by all students who have the
best interests of university athletics
nt hoart that some better plan than
tho pro'Bont ono will bo put into effect
by the athletic board bofore anothor
