FOOTBALL rs THEIR FAroRITE SPORT
Some Spanking Teams Among the School,
boys Of this CITY aud Vicinity.

The first football match for tho championship
OF the Interscholastic League takes place on
Monday afternoon. From the first game to
tho end OF the series the contests will be well
worth witnessing. The players have had cx-
cellent opportunity during a month OF good.
hard practice to got into thorough condition.
Although defeated in many OF the games
played out OF town. tho city boys havo nc
uuired TINT amount OF toughness go necessary
to tho team intending to play an aggressive
game. Not one Of the city elcvens has an I'M
broken record OF victories.
Looking over the city scholastic field the I'M
prejudiced observer would unhesitatingly de-
clare that Dwight School had the best chance
OF winning the championship banner. Dwight
won last year. and although several OF the 30
champions have gone from tho school to col
lcge. there are enough left with tho new play
ers to mako matters exceedingly lively for all
opponents. Dwight loses good boy in Burt
Fish. who has gone away to recuperGte.
GriGGs. who takes Fishs place on the
team. Is a player OF promise. He Is a
powerful line-breaker. Terry OF tho
second Crescents Of Brooklyn also plays half
back and his runs will be feature OF all
Dwight's games. In Fred Dater the school
has IN intelligent guard OF good weight.
Dater last year was n big factor on tho Poly
technic Institute eleven until he hurt his leg.
Perhaps the most promising player on the
eleven is Bergen He played full back for the
Crescents in their recent games against Yale
and Princeton. His work then was considered
very fair for comparatively new player.
Dwlght's team will be as follows: Left end.
GriGgs: left tackle. Cox: left guard, Howard:
centre. Smith: right guard. Dater; right tackle.
