The resumption OF athletic relations
between Brooklyn Prep and Poly Prep,
coming right on the heels of the an
nouncement that Erasmus Hall and
Brooklyn Prep would renew their an
nual football clashes this year clears
up situation that has stirred Brooklyn
scholastic circles for several years be-
cause OF their size and athletic rank
ing.
Poly put the blame on the Crown
Heights institution when they broke six
years ago. claiming unsportsmanlike
tactics. and when Erasmus severed
football relations In 1918 for the same
reason Brooklyn Prep was regarded in
an unpopular light.
Since Harry Kane. formerly OF the
High School OF Commerce, was added
year ago to the1Brooklyn Prep faculty
as coach of the teams the two big
preparatory school have been recon-
ciled and a baseball game was easily
arranged. 1t seems likely that they viii
also meet on the gridiron again this
year.
Poly and Brooklyn Prep will meet on
the Dyker Heights diamond on May T.

OF both teams. Brooklyn and Erasmus
Will open their respective football sea-
