The faculty has decided that Harvard may play foot-ball next year with Yale and Princeton. It now rests with us alone to show what we can do, and that we mean to play foot-ball now we have a chance. There is plenty of good material in college; but if we wish to beat Yale we must have a good captain. Unless the best man is elected to that position there is no especial point in having an eleven. So far no captain has been elected. The members of the eighty-five eleven have so far been unable to give anyone a clear majority. Why the eighty-five eleven should elect the captain for eighty-seven, nobody seems to know. The custom has always been for the eleven of one year to elect the captain for the next year. This year there was no University eleven. Consequently the three upper class elevens, which take the place of the University eleven, ought to have been called upon to elect the captain. They are the ones from whom this year's eleven, if there had been one, would have been selected, and they are the ones who should elect the next captain. The eighty-five eleven has already elected one captain, the captain for eighty-six. Why should they be allowed to elect a second? This is a serious matter and ought not to be pushed through in an irregular manner. There is already a good deal of harsh feeling in the college which can only be settled by allowing the up per class elevens to elect the captain for the ensuing year, as is their natural right.
