INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORT,
N REORGANIZING or TINE LOCAL
ASSOCIATION OPPOSED.


The rumor which WIS circulated among the
local schools last spring to tho efroct that tho
inreracholastic association was to be reorgan-
izcf and n new league TO contain the cream
Of the New York Schoolboys athletic talent 10
take It's place has faded. ESerything pointed
towqrd n new organization AZ one time with A
membership OF only Eve schools: Berkeley, Cut
Ter Columbia Grammar. Barnard and Dwight
The association at present has n membership
OF fifteen schools, namely: Barnard. Collegiate.
Sachs. Wllson-Vail. Drisler, Berkeley, Wood
bridge. Cutler, Columbia Grammar, Dwight,
Blake, Madison, De In Sale Institute. Column
bia Institute and Rugby Military Academy
Seven OF these schools took no acti 20 part in
athletics and II was thought served only TO
hinder the progress Of the working schools.
Now however, when the association Is about
to begin work for the now school year the sug-
gcstion for a new league Il meeting with much
opposition,
II Is pointed out that the league has to prao-
ticc the ~strictest economy in order TO get along
with an income derived from the annual ducs
OF the fourteen schools. The reduction In the
rumter Of schools would not bring about a re-
duction In expenses. so that n league Of five
schools would require az large m income "a
the present one, As ono Of the boys said, the
dues for each school could not be tnpled, az each
institution finds It difficult to raise the amount
necessary NJ present.
On Tuesday next the first meeting Of the
association win take place and officers will be
elected. George COTbett OF DE La Sale Institute
is a strong candidate for the President. He Is
well versed in interscholastic sports and would
make the right man in the right place.
At this meeting final arrangements for the
championship football series will be mace
and a schedule adopted.
From HeadmasteI Shaw Of Hamilton In
stitute 1t was learned last Tuesday that the
institute would again apply for membership
In the association. In a letter TO THE Sun
John O'Brien recounts the institutes difficulty
with the association as follows:
Hamilton Institute was an active member
of the New York fnterscholastic Association
up to the fall Of 1890. At that time trouble arose
between the institute and the association. on
account of the former Withdrawing the football
team from the series after a schedule had been
adopted. Mr.. Shaw at the time said he had
sent a letter to the association before the sche-
draw the team. This letter IL was stated was
never received. Hamilton Institute was fined
els for forfeiting three games. This fine the
ground that IL was ~unlustly imposed. Tie
following May the institute was suspended
lsos, resolutions offered by delegate Mullally
Of Dwight School were unanimously adopted
ItliA7l4Nllb blUlllIOn llSlllllt us an active
member. AT the first meeting in the fall of
lsaS Hamilton institute was ready TO become
an active mepber again but President Browne
did not see his way clear and last April the
institute was expelled. This practically settled
the whole matter and by the expulsion all the
past occurrences had been wiped ont. and the
association had no more claim on the institute,
Last May the institute applied for membership
a. II Il had never been q member and should

Is a strong one and has any amount of clever
athletes"
