Player Apiece.

Many OF the local high school football
players who have gone to college will un-
doubtedly keep up the reputation of this
city as furnishing some Of the greatest
football players Of the country. Douglass
Bomeiser. the All-American end OF Yale;
Harry Ketcham. the All-American centre
and captain OF this years Blue eleven;
Eddie Butler. the Cornell captain, and
Dave Taber, Hal Halstead and Gilbert,
Fred and Eddie Trenkman. OF Princeton
are some Of the products of the local
schools.
Princeton and Cornell universities have
been favored mostly By the recent grad
yates, each instittion drawing no less
than FIVE. Washington and Lee and Am
herst colleges have secured three apiece
Columbia and Phillips Andover two each,
and Annapolis and Wesleyan one each.
Three Of the best players Of the local
district decided In favor of Princeton

Moore, OF De Witt Clinton High School,
and Michael Charles. Of Manual Training
High School.

developed at Adelphi, where he also stood
out In baseball and basketball. Moore
was a dashing all around player on the
Black and Red team. and also VIII be
valuable addition TO the swimming ana
baseball teams, being a star In each
sport Charles proved one Of the greatest
offence and defence players Of the local
schools, and will surely prove his worth
in the near future. Slower. OF Polytechnic
Preparatory School and Arthur Rome, OF
Erasmus Hall, have also decided 10 hnish
their education at Princeton.
Cornell will get three OF the best players
from this district in Onley. late Of Com

Amherst College Will receive three
promising players in Heaslip, Matthews

grdiron. and VIII surely gain more glory.
Amherst also has been fortunate in get

team.

best Of the three. being a long distance
punter besides a good tackler and ground

football honors.

tho last two years. earned an appoint
