Footnote

"There has been an extraordinary event in the Carlton circle. At the beginning of the season Aitken was elected captain by 12 votes to 8 - rather a good majority. He had to battle hard to get in the team against South Melbourne and Melbourne. After this he was left out of the team, owing to want of form. Walton has been elected captain, and the committee came to the decision that they could not play Aitken, because of his want of form. He applied for a clearance, which was given him, and now has received his permit to play for Melbourne, for whom, I predict, he will show fine football before long." (Herald Friday June 03 p3)
