The scheme proposed by the captain of the eleven a few days ago whereby the captains of the various class teams shall be subject to his appointment and direction seems to us to deserve the commendation of the students. The 'Varsity captain is supposed to be the best judge and the highest authority on foot-ball matters in college, and by him, therefore, every scheme for developing material should be controlled. In football, as in war, the greatest results may be attained when the general contol is vested in the leader, and when general orders emanate from him alone. It is intended that Captain Cumnock's proposition shall be submitted to each class for its ratification. We strongly recommend therefore, that the scheme be heartily endorsed whenever it comes up for consideration. Not a stone must be left unturned this fall to make our eleven a success.
