WESTERN YOUTH LEADS EASTERN ELEVEN IN
 CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT
William Schuette Takes Place With Other Arizona and New Mexico Stars In East ern Boseball History.

Although the west makes much of her sons who star in college athletics iii the east, scant attention is paid the younger stars in the larger sec ondary schools scattered along the northern Atlantic coast. Taft. Hill and Fomfret form a trinity of pre- paratory institutions which turn out athletic organizations that would run rough-shod over any team in any sort of sport representing any western cOllege-with perhaps two exceptions and the sugar which takes away the bitterness of the pill is the fact that these same eastern prep" organiza tions are composed largely of west erners or men developed in the west.
 Two Examples.

 "Prep" Teams Strong. But to return to the secondary schools. While the war has disrupted the football machines of the colleges this year, the machines of the "preps" have remained virtually intact; due, of course. to the youth of their per sonnel. From the first scores which have been received it is obvious that stronger than the most of the college teams. r. figures and dope" may be combined to form criterion, then the greatest football team not only in the east, but in the entire country, is the eleven representing Pomfret school-a Connecticut institution.

 It is of interest to note that all this time, however, he played no football. He boxed continually and organized an amateur baseball team which swept all opposition in New Mexico and Arizona before it; but his grid iron prowess was at that time un- known.
 In Bisbee.
 In the fall of 1914 Schuette came to Bisbee, a husky and healthy young brute, determined to try his hand at mining. About this time, however. his family decided to visit their young hopeful and they came here to see him. Although no one knows just what scene was enacted, the boy left the district with his mother and fla ther for the east. When the party of three reached New York, his mother had Williams nails manicured and his face massaged, put a maternal ban on the west and on mining and threw her son into preparatory school with the injunction to abosrb little Greek and to foregt his crude western ways.
 At Pomfret.
 All of which brings Schuette to Pomfret. He started playing football immediately and his second year he made the team. Playing with dash, nerve and brilliancy, he was the logi- cal choice for the captaincy this sea son, and the honor was justly earned. Tn Pomfret's first game of the year they walloped Worcester's strong eleven by the top-heavy score of 20 to O. and Suffield fell a week later by a margin almost as decisive. In both contests the erstwhile Bisbee mi ner romped about the field scoring almost at will and representatives of three major colleges approached him after the Suffield game with induce ments." However. Schuette decided as a boy to be Yale man and if he lives he will doubtless carve his niche in Yale's Hall of Fame as football and baseball star.
