Clarke Walworth Tobin '10, South Boston, Mass., was unanimously elected captain at the meeting of the football team held for the purpose of selecting a leader for the 1909 squad. Tobin has been a member of the team for the three years he has been in college, and this year his aggressive and skilful play has not only marked him as one of the best guards Dartmouth ever had, but he has been picked by nearly all reviewers of the season as one of the two best men at his position in college football today.
The popularity of the captain-elect in college has caused his selection to be received with enthusiasm by the student body and all connected with the sport. Tobin played football and basketball for three years before coming to college and has thus had considerable experience in the game. He is a member of the D. K. E. fraternity.
