Ryan Elected Captain
November, 1910

To fill the vacancy left by the withdrawal from College of Marks, last year's star fullback, John J. Ryan was elected captain of the football team for the coming season during the summer.

Captain Ryan has been an all-round athlete since he entered Dartmouth from New Hampshire State, his sophomore year, playing on the football, basketball, and baseball teams since he has been in college. His sophomore year he played on his class teams, being ineligible to play on varsity teams. The next year Ryan played on the varsity eleven, on the basketball quintet, was one of the first string baseball men. Last year he filled Hawley's position at right half, and but for an injury to his ankle received at the beginning of the year would have held down third base on the baseball team.

Captain Ryan is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, of Turtle, and of Sphinx. His home is in Waterbury, Conn.
