The election of Wilcox as football captain will be generally satis factory. With two such men as Wilcox and Owen to choose from the decision was hard to reach. "Wilkie" has shown himself to be a good man in two seasons of play, and will undoubtedly make a good captain.
The football team and Coach Yost have been given praise without stint, but we don't want to forget Dr. Nalsmith and the "scrubs." The hard practice that the scrubs have given the Varsity team this year has contributed in no small degree to make them what they were. There have been more and better second team men out this year all the time, than ever before. And the credit for this is largely due to Dr. Nalsmith. He has been out every night and has gone right into the game on the side of the "scrubs," giving them some good coaching and showing the Varsity a good time.
ECONOMIC SEMINARY
The Sociologic and Economic Seminary met Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock in room 15 The Seminary was conducted by Mr. Bowles, Professors Blackmar and Cone both being absent.

Mr. Bowles also reviewed an article on "Domestic Servants and the Responsibility of the Employer."
