Though Not so Successrul.
| Athletics at Drisler school have been more
active ever since the school joinedthe Interscho-
lastic A. A. The Driser boys no match for
the boys from such schools as Cutler. Berkeley,
Barnard. and Harvard. but they are all right in
schools OF the second class like Morse. Halsey,
Harlem Collegiate Institute, and Dwight These
latter schools have not SO many boys to choose
from as the schools first mentioned, and this,
with the lack OF space for gymnastic and ath-
letc exercises. makes IL impossible for them to
compete with the more prominent institutions.
The Drslertes can turn out very fair light
weight baseball and football teams. several
good tennis players and enough athletes TO
form fairly respectable track athletic team.
Of tho athletes at Drisler, there are at least
five who show promise OF being winners in tho
near future. b. y. Wenman is the best sprnter
at Drsler school, lie will compete in the 100
yard and 320-yard dashes in the spring games.
j. p. Howe is the middle and long distances run
ner at Drsler. lie does well in tho Ss0-yard
run, and with proper coaching should develop
into place winner at some OF the coming indoor
and outdoor games The leading athlete among
the younger boys at Drisler is w. J.. Gunther.

There are several boys at Halsey school who

boys at Hasey who will represent IL in the ath-
letic games. 4. A. Fowler is ono of the leading
athletes at the school. He is delegate 10 the
Interschoastic A. A, and was appointed a mem

some ability as u sprinter. +. Tyters is another
prominent sprintcr at Halsey school.
President Sykes has called down n good deal
of censure upon his head by his appointments

However; last year Foot io@ii committee was
