The Cutler school boys are Justly proud Of the
prominence attained by their football team on
the interscholastic gridirOn this year. The
eleven not only defeated the Berkeley School
team In the great annual match on the Ber-
keleyites' own stamping ground, Berkeley
Oval. but they also won the champion
ship Of the Interscholastic Athletic Associ-
alton Of this city. an honor that has
been vacillating between Berkeley and Cut
Ter schools for many years. Cutler won
in'1s02, and Berkeley in 1903. After the game
last Wednesday, when the Cutler eleven easily
defeated De La Sale, and thereby won the
championship this wear, the Berkeley students
on the ground shouted. well. we will win
next year" When asked why they did not win
this year. the Berkeleyites replied that II was
Cutters turn to win, and that Berkeley never
was In II for that reason.

seven members OF last years team rs n nucleus.

game during the early days Of practice, was
not allowed to play by his parents. The
team was so weakened that they allowed
