Notre Dame cancels football captain elections after 1932 turmoil
In a 1933 change at Notre Dame coach Reginald Anderson shifts from captain elections to naming a captain for each game. The earlier 1930s rivalry between Paul Host and Kosky over the end position created unrest, with Host winning the 1932 captaincy but Kosky remaining at left end under Anderson. The new system aims to remove player favoritism and assign leadership per game amid ongoing team tensions.
