No More Captains

An Ohio youth can still become president of the U. S., as many of them have, but no longer can he be captain of a team at the Ohio State University. The Athletic Board has abolished captains. Henceforth the team (in any sport) will have a field leader, appointed by the coach before the game. Campus politics so tangled themselves in the election of team captains by the team members (after the custom of most colleges) that Ohio teams were weakened. The Athletic Board decided there should be less strife & feeling in electioneering; more strife & feeling against opponents on the playing field.
