Activity in Long Island League and the
New York Association.
Having definitely decided to abandon the
idea OF holding indoor games the Long Island
lnterscholastic League is looking forward to
making tine outdoor athletic meeting to be held
on or about May 20 the biggest success of the
season. There are three fields at the leagues
disposal. namely. those OF st. Paul School,
Garden City; Pratt Institute and Adelphi
Academy. The committee considers Garden
City too far away to attract a good crowd. while
it seems that Pratt Field is rather too small.
The Adelphi Academy track is a good one. and
Is equipped with all the apparatus necessary
for carrying off a successful set OF games. 1t is
easily reached. and has a grand stand capa-
BILE OF seating 500 onlookers. while around
the track as many more can stand
without interfering with the competitors.
All arrangements have been perfected for the
third annual skating championship OF the
league to be held at the Claremont Avenue
Skating Rink on March 2 and 3. 1t is likely
that. with the exception Of st. Paul, all the
schools will enter competitors. The hockey
championship of the league Is now well under
way. Brooklyn Latin School has thus far shown
UT the best, The boys are a clever set Of players
and are quite at home on the ice. Their pass
ing is true and their team work is excellent.
The Poly Prep" boys are by no means slow
at the game. but they lack the team and head
work OF the Latin School boys. st. Paul IL play
ing up to the expected standard. Adelphi
High schools are rapidly rounding into form form

argument .inasmuch AS the feeling among the
majority Of the schools is that the event should
