NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two captains of Harvard winter sports teams were elected yesterday as their respective teams assembled at Notman's to have their pictures taken. Charles Crehore Cunningham '32, of Milton, was named as leader of the 1932 hockey sextet while Benton Spangler Wood '32, of Honolulu, Hawaii, was selected by his teammates to head next year's swimming team.

Cunningham, who prepared for college at Milton, is one of the outstandind athletes of the Junior class, having won his letter in both football and hockey. He played at wing all this year on the Crimson six having been shifted there from defence at the beginning of the season. Last year he teamed up on the defence with Batchelder and at the close of the season was selected on a mythical All-American sextet. He also captained his Freshman hockey team.

In football Cunningham won his letter Sophomore year playing at center as understudy to Ticknor. He had played on the undefeated 1932 Freshman team the year before. This season he was injured at the start of the year and played in none of the major games, although it was thought that he would don a uniform for the Yale game. He has just recently been elected president of the Junior class.

Wood, who is one of the few Sophomores ever to receive a Harvard sport captaincy, has been the most consistent winner on Coach Harold Ulen's first Harvard swimming team this year. He swims in the sprint events and had been undefeated in intercollegiate competition until the Yale meet on Wednesday. In that meet he came in third in the 50-yard, swim, second in the 100 and swam anchor on the relay team. Wood is one of a group of Sophomores around whom Coach Ulen is planning to build his teams of the next two years. He prepared for college at Punahou Academy, Honolulu.
