Durham, Sept. 25—Fred Grigg of Gastonia, all-state tackle outstanding player on the Duke University football team, was unanimously elected captain of the Blue Devils at a meeting of the varsity here tonight at 9 o’clock. He will lead the Duke gridders against the Guilford Quakers in the opening game of the season here tomorrow.
Grigg last season proved one of the most aggressive players, especially as a defensive man, in North Carolina and was loudly praised by Tar Heel sports writers. This season he has shown up brilliantly in scrimmages both in the offense and the defense. He will be a power in the Methodist line. Coach Pat Herron and Duke supporters are expecting Grigg to go better than ever this year.
The new Duke captain is a popular man on the campus and when the news was circulated among the students here tonight every one expressed immense satisfaction at the selection of the team.
