The average American sportsman believes in leadership—and American sport demands a leader. But in foot- ball the rule rarely holds. My own iimited experience with the gridiron same leads me to believe that the ieader of a team—the captain—rarely is a leader and that the added re- sponsibility often proves too much ofa oad to carry. In other words, the captain cracks under the =strain, the joad, or the added responsibili jwhatever you choose to call jthe result is a team without a leader, }a team that is not a team for the good }reason that a food football eleven must have eleven players. It cannot be com- posed of ten players and a captain. It is a difficult matter to prove why this is so. One naturally would con- clude that a brilliant player, elected to the captaincy of an eleven, would play that much harder on accocunt of the konor and responsibilit; That is the assumption of brilliant players all over America. But in the majority of cases in my own experience this has not proven the case. In short, the job of leadership evidently carries too much responsibility for the average Ameri- can college athlete to stand up under. Yet the fact remains that a football team has little if any need for a cap- tain. The honor is more social than athletic. The responsibility that goes with the captaincy is an assumed re- sponsibility. Outside of the duty of being pres- ent at the toss of a coin before a game and choosing whether his team will kick off or receive and of making that choice after his eleven has been scored upon, the captain of a football team has no official duties. True he can argue with officials about the in- terpretation of rules and call their at- tention to errors in judgment and exe- cution, but he is helpless beyond that point, and the official, if wrong, can penalize a captain, if right, if fie per- sists in argument because af delay of the game. I have had officials threaten to put captains out of the game when the captains were right, because they insisted upon a correct interpretation of the rules. One season when I had a very good eleven I had a very poor captain. He ‘was much loved by all the supporters of the team because of the brilliant game he had played in former seasons. But he was unable to make his eleven cxcept as a quarterback, where his judgment was atrocious. I found my- Belf in a fix. It is odd how the loyal supporters of a college football team know the business of running a team far better than the coach. Many men of sound business or profdisional sense who would resent any suggestions from outsiders_relative to their day's work have no hesitancy at all in attempting to both advise and dictate to a football MARKET' WAS DULL There Was Vehy Little Trading Until Towards the End. New York, Dec. 18.—Apart from the additional ground vielded by many securities, especially bonds, today's session of the stock exchange was | reaningless. The market lapsed in- to absolute somnolence after the first hour, but displayed more activity to- wards the end, when steels, coppers, ehippings and a few speculative spe- cialties showed gains of ome to two points. Recessions in_the international bond list ranged from fractions to almost two per cent. for Anglo-French 5's and 2 3-4 per cent. for United Kingdom jssue of 1921 Foremost among the domestic bonds which broke to new low ground were the various issues of such prominent roads as Union and Southern Pacific, Lake Shore, St. Paul, Pennsylvania, Reading and minor coalers. The list also embraced such industrials as U. S. Bteel 5's, U. S. Rubber 5's and Ar- mour 4 1-#'s. Stock sales amounted to 325,000 shares. - Call loans eased perceptibly, al- though six per cent. was again the ruling rate, but time funds lost none of their firmness. Liberty bonds were active, the fours at 87.18 to 97, and the 3 1-%'s at 98.50 to 98.38. Total bond sales (par value) aggregated .3$4,725,000. U. S. bonds, oid issues, were un- changed on call. * STOCKS. Alasks Gold Mine Alaska Janeau Gold AU G & WL Baldwin Locomo Baltimer iT g RHEER & ? i 828858138 ER 1i e I S dean of .
