FOOTBALL IN THE SCHOOLS.
A Review of the Season in the Eastern
Leagues.
—_—-
Alumni of the different preparatory
schools watch the records of inter-
scholastic contests with an interest
second only to that taken in their col-
lege organizations. At present the de-
velopment of athletics at schools is
almost as well perfected as in col-
lege. The teams, more especially the
football elevens, ere for the most part
under the instruction of collegiate
athletes. These schools send every
year to college a body of trained foot-
ball players, and a very large propor-
tion of tke best college football play-
ers each year are graduated from
schools in New England or in the vi-
cinity of New York. The Weekly has
prepared a review of the work of the
well known leagues and elevens of the
East during tke past season.
A majority of the teams from the
large boarding schools were composed
of lighter men and less brilliant play-
ers than those of a year ago. AS a
consequence of this, trick plays were
more common, and far more attention
was paid to team work. But even so
the work of the elevens was below the
usual standard.
THE CHAMPION ELEVEN.
The best team from these schools
and vrobably the best of any prepara-
tory school eleven, with the exception
of the famous Carlisle Indians, was
the Lawrenceville team. The most
important game played by this eleven
was the annual game with Andover,
which resulted in a victory for Law-
renceville by the score of 12 to 4. The
results of other games were: Law-
renceville 32, Pennington 6; Lawrence-
ville 14, Hill School 6. Games were
also played against the Princeton
scrub.
The team was made up as follows:—
Right. .end;:.-Ce dL. Dudley; - viens
tackle, S. A. Dodds; right guard, G. L.
Cadwalader; certer, J. A. Dana; left
guard, Howard Richards, Jr., (Cap-
tain); left tackle, G. McK. Mattis; left
end, C. R. Dodds; quarter-back, H. R.
Loy; right half-back, J. D. Kafer; left
half-back, C. Cleveland, Jr.; full back,
Herbert McCord.
Of these the best player is Cad-
walader, while Richards and Mattis
also deserve mention. Three players,
Captain -Richards, Cadwalader and
Dudley, expect tc enter Yale
Fall, two, Mattis and Loy, go _ to
Princeton, two are uncertain, and the
remaining four do not graduate.
ANDOVER,
The Andover eleven of this year was
not equal to last year’s eleven in in-
dividual players, but the team ‘work
was rather better. The general work
of the eleven, however, was less suc-
cessful. This year was marked by the
renewal of the annual contests with
Exeter, in which Andover defeated her
opponents.
The results of some of the important
games were: Andover 28, Exeter 0;
Yale, 1900, 42, Andover 4; Lawrence-
ville 12, Andover 4.
The eleven was composed of the fol-
lowing: Right end, L. Wheeler; right
tackle, E. Holladay; right guard, S.
G. Ellis; center, J. C. Pierson; left
guard, J. J. Bartley; left tackle, F. H.
Swift; left end, T. C. Schreiber; quar-
ter-back, F. L. Quinby; right half-
back, J. W. Burdick; left half-back,
G. L. White; fullback, Jesse Barker,
(Captain.)
Among these the best work was
done by Quinby, Burdick and Barker,
Only four of the players graduate this
year and all of these expect to enter
Yale. They are Swift, Holladay,
Wheeler and White. Three of the sub-
Stitutes graduate and they also will
enter Yale.
EXETER.
The Exeter School team was far be-
low the average of that school. Nine
games were played, Exeter winning
only two. The Andover game was the
most important of the season. Other
games of interest were: Tuft’s 6,
Exeter 4; Harvard,‘190u, 4, Exeter 0;
Worcester 10, Exeter 4.
The team played as follows: Right
end, G. Shaw; right tackle, W. W.
Higley; right guard, H. H. Peyton;
center, B. Z. Kasson, (Captain); left
guard, W. H. Burgess; left tackle, O.

Four of these players graduate this
Spring.
ST. PAUL'S.
St. Paul’s School of Concord, N. H.,
generally places a strong eleven in the
field, but no games are allowed with
other schools and so for the past four
years one of the Harvard teams has
played against the school. This year’s
eleven was rather weaker than the
average, but compared favorably with
other school teams. The only game of
the year was played against the Har-
vard Law School team, by which St.
Paul’s was defeated by the score of
20 to 6.
The team follows: Right end, D. R.
Pruyn; right tackle, A. M. Henderson;
right guard, A. Hollingsworth; center,
J. R. Bloomer; left guard, R. R. Rich-
ardson; left tackle, W. B. Ribbey; left
end, F. H. Phipps; quarter-back, C.
Campbell; right half-back, Paul
Starne; left half-back, T. Lindsay;
fullback, Peter Vredenburg, (Cap-
tain.)
The strongest player of the team was
Starne; Bloomer, Henderson and Vred-
enburg also filled their positions well.
Six of the players graduate this year.
Of these three, Phipps, Richardson and
Campbell, will enter Yale; two, Hol-
lingsworth and Henderson, will go to
Harvard, and Captain Vredenburg, to
Princeton. Three of the four first sub-
stitutes graduate and all go to Yale.
HOTCHKISS.
The Hotchkiss School eleven for this
year was a stronger, though lighter,
team than that of the year before.

was on the whole successful. The re-
sults of the more important games
were: Hotchkiss 0, Yale, 1900, 26;
Hotchkiss 50, Hartford High School 0;
Hotchkiss 38, Taft’s School 6; Hotch-
kiss 6, Williston 8.

Reynolds, Savage, Hoysradt and Mon-
vague, will enter Yale. Fincke will go
to Harvard. Two of the substitutes,
Coy and Robertson, graduate also and
both will enter Yale.

er and lighter than the average, and
their game was characterized by run-
ning plays, tricks and the absence of
any mass formations. The work of the
team for the season was most success-
ful. The eleven scored 126 points to
their opponents’ 4. The most import-
ant game of the year was with St.
Mark’s School, which Groton won by
