Latin, st. Paul nnd Other Schools.
There Is every roason to believe that the APP
preaching season will bo n banner ono for the
young athletes OF the private schools belong
ing TO the New York. Long Island and New
Jersey Interscholastie associations. The boys
are all coming back from their vacations. ripe
for football and indoor games. Many Of the
cracks who carried of honors last year have
either graduated or gone into business, but
there are enough newcomers to I'll their
places.
The present indications are that the strug-
gle for honors on the gridiron will be keener
than ever. IL Is not at all unlikely that the
sixteen schools belonging to the association
will enter teams. The new aspirants for grid
iron honors In the various schools are o most
promising set of youngsters. and there is more
excitement and genuine enthusiasm amonS
them than in previous years.
Berkeley.School will again be strongly repre-
scented on the football field. The new boys have
q fair knowledge Of the game and, with some
good practice should develop into Hrst-class
players. The school lost n good player In
Huntington. who was the most prominent NOM
Der of the team last year. Tho prospects ~
Dwight school this season are much brighter
than before. Some OF the old boys have ro-
turned. The captain OF the football team will
in q short time begin to select material for the
eleven and he will only take those capable OF
putting forth their best efforts. The captain
OF the Columbia Grammar School team prom
ises to be more prompt in getting the candi-
dates out for practice than In previous years..

graduation. but some of the boys WHIT made

not definitely known whether Cadenas will
be back or not. He was the life Of the team

will be hard to fl.
II predictions can be counted on. the Wood

interscholastic proceedings next season. The

by some crackajacks from Harvard School.
The only drawback is the lack Of training
grounds. but as q large majority Of the stu
dents are connected with the new west side
branch of the Y. NJ. C. A. 1t is likely that a good
dealo training will be done there. The chances
Of turning out a scoring football team at Sachs
