BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR AN INTER
CITY GAME ON THE GRiDIRON.

AAAtDhH NAthAh
deal Of discussion among tho students ofthe vari. |
ous schools connected with both associations. and
although no gamc has yet boon arranged, pre-
dictions arc being freely made as to tho probable
outcome. The first steps toward the intcrcity
game wcrc taken by the Long Island Intorscho.
lastic Athletic League ut n meeting held on
Friday, Nov. s. The suggestion was at once mp
proved by the delegates present, and n commit.
tee was appointed to consult with the local asso-
citation and. II possible, to push the thing
through. The championship Of tho Long Island
League will fall to Brooklyn High School. while
up to last Friday the championship of the local
association was still in doubt. Tho most accept
able date would DO Thanksgiving Day, but this
ia out OF the question, as Brooklyn High and
"Poly Prop" play their annual game on that
date. while. should Berkeley defeat Trinity for
the honors In this city, they hnve their annual
game with st. Paul School OF Garden City
scheduled for Thanksgiving. There Is no doubt
that Mt the next meeting OF the local association
the matter will BIZ thoroughly talked over and
that a satisfactory agreement will be reached.
Another thing that is causing widespread in
terest is the talk OF arranging a game between
the reprcsen, ativo scholastic teams of Greater
Now York and a similar combination from Bos.
ton. An attempt was made to bring about such
q game last year, but somehow the matter fell
through. This year. however, the promoters
are deeply interested, and there Is cvery chance
of a game, rs far rs tho representative team in
this section is concerned, and the feeling 10 that
Boston will also be in line.
The football series in both this city and Brook
Ign is rapidly coming to q close, and the many
games played thus far have been brimful of sur
prises. More games have been lost by the miss.
ing of n goal from touchdown than ever before
in the history Of both associations, whilo the
teams have been more evenly matched and the
games harder fought than heretofore. In this
city the series has been most interesting. The
game between Trinity and Barnard at Berkeley
Oval on Friday, Nov. 5, was one of the best
| played Of the season. while the gamo between
| Pratt Institute and Brooklyn High School was
the star game Of the season in Brooklyn.
The football season at the Dwight School will

Montclair Military Academy. The students at
the school are taking a worry lively interest in
track athletics, and a very good team should
be developed. or course tho loss Of White

is taken in basketball and hockey. and every

The gymnasium has been overhauled. and will
be ready for training in a few days.
With the exception of ono or two more games,
the TO tball season at Trinity School is over. and
as it ia the policy Of the school to be strongly
represented in every branch of interscholastic
athletics. nothing will DO left undone to accom-
