William Henry Schmidt '37, of Chestnut Hill, was elected captain of the Varsity track team for next year, at a meeting of lettermen yesterday afternoon.
The new leader prepared at Newton Country Day School, where he started his career over the hurdles and in the springs which has carried him up through the Freshman team and last year's Varsity squad.
Most notable successes of Schmidt this year came in the Yale meet where he gathered five points in two events, and at the Penn Relay Carnival when he was a member of the Crimson quartet which set a meet record over the 400-yard distance.
Successor to Milton G. Green '36, Schmidt is the second hurdler to captain the team in two years. His roommate, Charles W. Hubbard '37 succeeds John W. Bryant '36 as Varsity manager.
