...Although no precedent exists for such a method of election, the circumstances fully warrant the step taken by last year's captain. It now remains for the foot-ball men to lay aside all personal feeling and elect a man who will lead Harvard's eleven to victory next fall...
...captain for '86? There are not enough men from the old '84 team left in college to make an election by them satisfactory; for if the election was at all close, say 4 to 3, there might be some hard feeling, and we want the season to open next fall with everything possible in our favor.

Because they represent the foot-ball interests of Harvard for this year, we think them more competent to select a proper captain. But whatever system of election is adopted, we believe that the foot-ball men, and Harvard men at large, will give to the successful candidate their heartiest support...
