Nineteen soccer lettermen will participate in the election of their new captain who will replace Whoop Batcheder. Junior lettermen Don Harchman, Jim Johnson, Dick Miller, Charley Weiss, and Ted Wolf are eligible for the post as well as sophomore lettermen Vern Drechmel, Ben Goldstein, John Harvey, Larry Leonard, Hewitt Pantalconi, and Ed Seaga.
