SCHOOL OUTFIT
CLAIMS TITLE

Pittsfeld, Nov. 29.-The M. C. I.
football team has completed one of
the most successful seasons in the
history Of the school and on a basis
Of its seasons record compared to
the other prep schools in the state,
1t is Justly entitled to the mythical
prep school championship. A sched-
ule Of nine games has been played
with a result of six victories, one de-
feat and two scoreless tie encount-
ers. All the leading prep schools
in the state were met without q de-
feat These included Bridgton
Academy, Hebron Academy, Kent's
Hill, Higgins Classical Coburn
Classical and Eastern Maine Con-
ference Seminary. The result of the
prep school engagements were score
less games with Hebron and Bridg-
ton; victories over Kent's Hill IA
to 6; Higgins % to 0: Coburn 1 to o.:
and f. M. c. S. IL to 0.
Besides meeting all the leading
prep schools, M. c. I. defeated the
Bates Freshmen to 0. which was
the only defeat the yearlings receive
ed for the season, and they were
represented by an exceptionally
strong team this year. Biddeforf
High school was defeated 8 to o at
Biddeford, Thanksgiving day, in the
final game Of the season. The Bid
deford team has fine record for
the season, not having been defeat
ed by any high school.
The only defeat Of the season re-
ceived by the M. c. I. gridders was
by the Medford High school eleven,
which turned back the Pittsfield
Preppers II to 10 at Medford in a
hard fought engagement. Medford
had one of the strongest high school
teams in Massachusetts and COM
pleted this season, Thanksgiving
day. with 20 to 6 victory over Mall
den High school, which Is their OBJ
jective game of the season, before
q crowd of $1,000 fans.
The M. G.. l. team tackl d one of
the hardest schedules of any of the
state prep schools. Bridgton Acad-
envy, which has already claimed the
state championship, played only
three prep schools ip the state, two
of these engagements resulting
scoreless and the other q victory
over Kent's Hill. Bridgton and M.
G. l. were held to no score games
by Hebron Academy and both
Bridgton and M. c. I. defeated
Kent's Hill. Therefore. by a COM
parison of these games. the NJ. C.
/. supporters fail to conceive where
the Bridgton team has any claim
over the Pittsfield Preppers.
Bridgton did not meet Coburn, E.

school series. E. NJ. c. S. was rep

EXPECT CLASSY
ENTRY LIST OF
GOLFERS At MIAMI

Miami. Fla, Nov. 29.-Profession.
al golfers are looking upon two
tempting open tournaments at MI
ami with more than usual interest.
The Miami Open which has been
played for the last two years is al
ways the very last open event Of
the season and for this reason It
has become important to the pro-
fession and q number of amateurs
who feel that they have q chance
to win the laurels.
The Miami Open, attractive as It
is. will not stand alone this year.
as Miami Beach in planning to ded-
icate~ the new La Gorse Links, has
also scheduled an open event while
the leading talent is on hand. This
will mean that the pro has more
than a good chance to pick up an
attractive sum should he be out of
form in one event or the other. The
total sum at stake will be some
thing like $4,000 for both tourna-
ments.
Just now the golfers are having
their innings and Willie Klein, win
ner OF the Miami Open last winter,
will have some stiff competition.
Last year he had to outplay Bobby
Jones, Willie Macfarlane, Johnnie
Farrell, Gene Sarazen, Mike Brady,
Leo Diegel, Tommy Armour and
many other stars to gain the VIC
tory.
Miami counts on Walter Hagen
playing this time and Bobby Jones
may play again with such other
stars as Sarazen, Hutchinson, Ar
mour, Hampton, Doyle and Forrest
