Now that the football season s drawing to
close In this city, tho young athletes connectcu
with the various schools OF the New York Inter
scholastic A. A. are making active preparations
for the coming season in track athletics and
baseball. The season on tho gridiron thus far
has been one of the most successful In the his
tory Of the association, owing to the competent
officers in charge The wranglinR over de-
cisons, which so greatly marrod the sport last
season. was entirely done away with. Ono pro-
test was entered. which was the outcome oil the
referees decision In tho Berkeley school-De La
Sale Institute game, but 1t was not sustained,
the Football Committee deciding that o referees
decision Is final and cannot be appealed from.
That tho final game for tho football champion
ship OF the association between tho winners OF
the first and second sections will be battle
royal admits Of little doubt. Berkeley School.
hy defeating Dc La Sale Institute and Dwight
School, carried Off the honors in tho first sec
ton. while Trinity School beat Barnard School
for tho honors in tho second section. The final
game will therefore DO between Berkeley School
and Trinity School, and 1t will take place at
Berkeley Oval next Saturday. Tho two schools
met In tho final game In 1895. and, after an In
tcrcsting game, Berkeley came out with flying
colors. Do La Sale Institute and Trinity School
faced each other for tho final honors last year.
and Trinity School had to again bite tho dust,
but not until after one OF the hardest battles Of
the season. De La Sale Institutes only points
being made by forcing Trinity to a safety.
Capt Browne OF Trinity School, up to a few
days ago. was in high CLEO over the idea that
this year he has built up a team that 10 capable
OF carrying Off the honors. but now comes tho
unfortunate news that two of the teams star
players, the McClave brothers. arc on the sick
list, and will be unable to play moro this
season. This is indeed q bard blow, but Browne
will keep his men t hard work, and he expects
the two substitutes to do we'll. The Berkeley
boys are playing in excellent form. and their in.
reference is Of high.class order. They arc
well vorsed in all the tricks Of the game, and
have plays of their own that arc puzzle to all.
The defeat of De La Sale Institute has been a
hard pill for the team to swallow, inasmuch
as the defeat was administered by tho Berkeley
School eleven. It is rumored that tho team is
out of training and will shortly disband. Tho
eleven has by no means been as strong as last
year, although the team was made up Of q set of
stocky lads. Tho Institute will devote moro
than usual time to baseball and in few weeks
the net will DO put into the gymnasium and
work will begin. For the past two years De La
Sale Institute and Berkeley School have been
the contestants in the final game for the base
ball championship, and each time Berkeley
School has won.

ing thus far. The team has met and defeated
some Of the crack.a-jacks Of his vicinity. Out
of the six games played up to date the school
has a record Of five wins and one defeat. In tho
opening game OF tho season with Montclair High
School the defensive work and interference were
very poor. Against the st. Austins High
School the team showed marked improvement,
and administered a crushing defeat to their
opponents in Just eighteen minutes, not
quite one full half In the game with Pingry
School tho team showed wonderful line buckng
qualities, the defensive work was very good,
and the interference magnificent. The game
with POLY Prep" was u hard.fought battle, and
was only turned into q victory after some excel
lent team work. Yonkers High School put up
hard fight. but Trinity again won by excellent
playing. The team met its only defeat at tho
hands Of New York Military Academy.
