unanimous, ami Orllc iccclvcd the toss

wiih a matter of chance between the can

was oxprcHMcd as a matter of fact that
while Thoipe was eleettd. Shcdd would
be elected at the end of the season for

Thorpe Is well qualllled to llll the posi

to play football, baseball, and a general
oxcellunce of Hklll In athletic sporth of all
klndH IUh him admirably for the position,
but he bus a faculty foi cool deliberation,
Ilo was never known to loose his head In

As quurtiir-baek. he Is excellent and
will be In a good position to govern tho
tactics of the team, as well as his Indi
