STRONG TEAMS FOR THE LOCAL
CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL SERIES.

Mt PrnctIc.-Thr Long deferred Schedule to
Ro Arranged This weeL-ProbnbIiIty or
Change from tho Two-section syntem.
1t has now been officially announced that the
first regular monthly meeting of the New York
Interscholastio A. A. will be held noxt Tuesday.
The meeting was SGT down for last Tuesday, but
for some reason 1t did not tako place. Until
this meeting is held and tho league football
schedule arranged, the schools cannot arrange
outside games, and consequently the boys are
In a very dissatisfied frame Of mind. No no.
ticos have as yet been sent out to where the
meeting will be held and the different schools
arc getting somewhat anxious. At the present
t,mo the association is without President or
Secretary, tho former incumbcnts having
graduated last June. While tho boys arc
awaiting with much impaticnce the announce
ment Of the schedule they are training as hard
as ever. Tho football outlook is not as bright
as In former years, only six schools will
enter the championship fight 1t has been
rumored that the Football Committee will ar
range tho schedule so that the teams entered will
not bo split into two sections. This idea seems
to find favor with all Of the teams If the one
section scheme should go through 1t Is not at
all unlikely that a special schedule will DO ar
ranged for second teams. Then, II agreeable.
the winners In each class can meet for the cham
pionship.

hard at work for the past two weeks undcr the
