All the members of the foot ball team except Lee and Alward (who were not in town) met last night in 16 Read's Block to elect a captain for next year. Bernard Walton Trafford, '93, full-back on the Exeter team of '88 and on the Harvard team of '89 and '90, was chosen unanimously. The new captain has had large experience in athletics; having played foot ball several years on the Fall River school teams before entering Exeter in 1888. In 1889 Trafford played catcher on the Exeter nine and the next year first base on the Harvard nine. It will be seen, therefore, that he has had long training for the position he is now chosen to fill, and has behind him an unimpeachable record of hard and painstaking work.
