Georgia captaincy in doubt as Thompson is ruled ineligible
Charley Thompson, elected Georgia football captain at a Athens banquet, is ineligible after four years of play. The Constitution confirms he played 1912-1915 with appearances in key games and touchdowns but authorities maintain his second year never occurred. Tackle Thrash may be elected to replace him as captain.
