Captain Fisher of Harvard.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Robert Thomas Fisher '12, of Newton Centre, captain of this year's University football team, prepared for College at Phillips Andover Academy, where he played for three years at left tackle.

In his Freshman year he played left guard on the 1912 team which went through the season unbeaten and unscored on. On this team he showed much promise, and the following year was given the position of right guard on the University eleven.

Arthur Howe '12, of South Orange, N. J., is captain of the Yale University team. At Hotchkiss School, where he prepared for college, he played quarterback for two years, and was captain of the baseball team in his last year.

As well as being a versatile field general, a brilliant open-field runner, and a reliable drop-kicker, he is an ideal leader. Last year he was chosen for quarterback on many.
