The preparatory schools Of BROOKLYN have
for many wears been more advanced In football
than the New York schools, hut this year seems
20 be- an on one. Mostly al Of the star PLAYERS
have been lost by graduation. The new MAJ
terlal has shown up 50 well that the loss Of a few
champions will not be as severely felt IA at first
supposed. At any rate six Of the seven schools
In the league viii enter teams.
There is considerable discussion among the
schools regarding a Junior league. II has been
the feeling for many years that a junior foot
ball serle, should take place. The project
seem, to have gained the approval Of all the
scholars interested. The latter. however, have
not the control they used 10 have and the Ques-
ton really rests with the professors. The sun
first suggested such n move last year, when
the New York lntersCholastlc Association
made arrangements for a junior league. There
are many boys In the schools who would like
10 play the game, but are barred owing to their
liVht weight, Brooklyn Latin School and
Adelrht Academy for several years hack could
not compete with the other schools in the
League, owing to the l~iChtness Of their teams.
