This system has been tried out in college baseball with no very conclusive results, but it is fairly certain that the players themselves do not want the coach to relinquish his control. A coach is necessary to make substitutions in football and direct the team insofar as he is allowed under the present rules. These are functions which can not be carried out efficiently by the captain, whose worries are great enough now to affect his playing ability.
