FOOTBALL IN THE SCHOOLS,
A Review of the Work Done in the
Large Eastern ** Preps.’
There is always a deep interest felt
by the alumni of the different prepara-
tory schools in the athletic prowess of
their successors. The WEEKLY has
therefore endeavored to present a brief
outline of the football history of the
season just passed, in these schools.
Whenever possible, the name of the
college into which the more prominent
of the players expect to enter has been
printed. This may give in some degree
an idea of the new material from which
the football captains of Princeton, Har-
vard and Yale can draw in the _read-
justment of their teams for the Fall of
18098, as most if the elevens are re-
cruited from Eastern-educated youth.
ANDOVER.
Notwithstanding that Andover was
beaten by Exeter the team was fully up
to the standard of previous elevens.
Lawrenceville was beaten for the first
time, the score being 42 to 4. The re-
sults of some of the other games were:
Exeter, 18; Andover, 14; Andover, 14;
Yale, roo1, 0; Andover, 26; Worcester,
o; Brown University, 20; Andover, 4.
The team lined up as follows: Schreiber,
l. e.; Davis, 1. t.; O’Conner, 1. g.; New-
ton, c.; Holt, r. g.; Grinnell, r. t.; Ab-
bott, r. e.; Quinby, q.; Burdick, r. Ee
Roby, 1. h.; Elliott, captain and ft: <1 ne
playing of Burdick, Roby, Elliott and
Quinby was exceptionally good. Five
of the team graduate and all will come
to Yale. They are Burdick, Roby, Ab-
bott, Schreiber and Quinby. Quinby
has been elected Captain of next year's
team and may not enter Yale this year.
EXETER.
Contrary to the expectations of every-
body Exeter wiped out last year’s de-
feat by winning from Andover this year
by the score of 18 to 14. The results
of some of the important games were:
Worcester, 14; Exeter, 0; Harvard
Freshman, 10; Exeter, 4; Exeter, 12;
Mass. Institute of Technology,
Most of the gains were made by buck-
ing the line. The team lined up as fol-
lows: Gordonier, 1. e.; Hogan, 1. t.;
Zimmerman, |. g.; Greene, c.; Higley,
captain and r. g.; Jones, r. t.; Shaw,
r. e.; Baldwin, q.; Miller, r. h.; Syphax,
Loh indss
Syphax, Higby and Miller showed
especial proficiency in their positions.
D. A. Baldwin, ’99, g., was elected cap-
tain for next year. Of the four men on
the team who graduate, Zimmerman
will enter the University of Pennsyl-
vania, Shaw goes to Columbia and Mil-
ler and Higby may come to Yale.
LAWRENCEVILLE.
The Eleven this year was hardly up to
the standard of previous Lawrenceville
teams. Several of the best players were
injured early in the season, and the
team was very light. Andover defeated
Lawrencevill for the first time, as also
did Hill School. The results of the most
important games were: Andover, 42;
Lawrenceville, 4; Hill, 8; Lawrenceville,
0; Lawrenceville, 20; St. Paul’s, 4. The
team lined up as follows: McGinley,
]. e.;Pinkerton, 1. t.; Losey, c.; McCord,

Mauriac, q.; Hannum, r. h. b.; Lake,
1. h, b.: Griggs, f.b.
The best players were: Pinkerton,
McCord, Gill and Hannum. D. Griggs
has been elected captain for next year.
Six members of the eleven graduate;
of those Gill and DeMauriac will go to
Princeton, McCord to Brown, McGin-
ley-will enter Yale and Pinkerton and
Takami will not go to college.
GROTON.
The football season of 1897 was a suc-
cessful one for Groton School. St.
Mark’s was defeated in the annual con-
test by a score of 17 to 2... The game
with the Harvard Freshman was a tie
with no score.
The style of play was marked by open
work and trick formations.
The line-up was: L. Motley, 1. e.;
Blagden, 1. t.; Hooker, 1. g.; Water-
bury, c.; Rainsford, r. g.; Swan, r. t.; E.
Motley, r. e.; Devens, q.; Birkhead,

men on the team graduate next June.
Three, Hawkins, Hooker and Swan,
will enter Yale. Rainsford is unde-
cided and Cary, Birkhead, Devens, E.
er Motley and Blagden go to Har-
vard.
ST. PAUL’S.
Although St. Paul’s is not allowed to
play other preparatory schools, the
standard of her football team is very
high. Its one important game is with
one of the Harvard teams. |
This year St. Paul played Harvard
’99, and won the game by the score of
7 to 6. The School scored a safety
and kicked a goal from the field. The
line-up was:
J. A. Moorhead, left-end; J. : Dhgaee o
Robinson, left-tackle; C. Belknap, leit-
guard;’J. R. Blomer, center; A. ol-
lingsworth, right-guard; G. Cadwala-
der, right-tackle; R. D. Pruyn, Captain
and right-end; H. W. Farrar, quar-
ter; R. Weston, right-half; T. P. Lind-
say, left-half; T. J. Grayton, full ihe
best players were: Pruyn, Moorhead
and Blomer.
Of the team seven graduate. Robin-
son, Belknap, Blomer and Farrar will .
enter Yale. Hollingsworth and Pruyn
will go to Harvard and Cadwalader to
Princeton.
ST. PAUL'S, LONG ISLAND.
The lack-of success of the team was
due to the number of men injured,
and lax training. The results of two
important games were: Brooklyn High,
6; St. Paul’s, 0; Lawenceville, 20; St.
Paul's, 4.
The team lined up as follows: Hunt,
c.:; Stare” Captain, r. g.> Brill, |. g.;
Brown, r. t.; Kinney, 1. t.; Weller, r. e.;
Van Wagner, l. e.; Blount, q.; Temple,
r ho bs Chase. i hy b.2. Pettit, tb.
Special proficiency was shown by Brill,
Kinney and Weller. Seven men on the
team will graduate next Fall, of these
Temple and Chase will enter Yale,
Brown and Pettit will go to Harvard,
Starr to Cornell and Kinney to Prince-
ton. Weller will not go to college.
HILL SCHOOL.
For the first time since the beginn-
ing of the series Hill beat Lawrence-
ville, the score being 8 to o. This
year’s team was by far the best ever put
out by the School. The Eleven did not
suffer a single defeat. The principal
games resulted as follows: Hill, 40;
Pennington, 0; Princeton Freshman, 0;
Hill, 10; Penn Charter, 10; Hill, 10;
Lawrenceville, 0; Hill, 8. Close forma-
tion plays were relied upon for most of
the gains. The team lined up as fol-
lows: Gaines, 1. e.; Lord, 1. t.; Roesing,
1. g.; Wardwell, c.; Milburn, r. g.; Mills,
r. t.; Percival, r. e.; Fincke, q.; Wylie,
r. h. b.; Colfelt, 1. h. b.; Bowman, f. b.
The best work was done by Lord,
Mills and Fincke.
Five men graduate next June. Three,
Gaines, Rosing and Fincke, will enter
Yale. Lord will go to Cornell, and
Mills to Princeton.
HOTCHKISS.
The football season was very stccess-
ful, no games being lost. The most im-
portant games were the ones with Tutts,
which Hotchkiss won by a score of 26
to o, and the Yale Freshman game, the
final score of which was Hotchkiss, 6;
Yale, 1901, 4. Close formations were
used a great deal. The line-up of the
team was: Mead, r. e.; Cook, r. t.; Goss,
r. g.; Dix, c.; Fowler, r. g.; Farnam,
r. t.; Denning, captain, 1. e.; Davis, q.;

and Miller.
ST. MARK’S.
The St. Mark’s team, although de-
feated by Groton by the score of
17 to 2, was fully as good as the teams
of former years, and played a plucky
game. The team lined up as follows:
Potts and Thomas, e.; Watson, Captain,
and Lewis, t.; Corning and Flitner, g.;
Wall, c.; Bacon, q.; Noyes and Theriot,
h.; Rumsey, f. b. The strongest players
were Rumsey and Watson.

son, Lewis, Wall, Noyes and Theriot
will enter Harvard next Fall. Rumsey
will come to Yale.
TAFT’.
The Taft’s School team had no coach
this year. All the coaching was done
by the Captain and members of last
year’s Eleven, who developed a great
many trick plays. The important
games were: Hotchkiss vs. Taft’s, 26 to
0; Blackhall vs. Taft’s, o to 14; Gunnery

BERKELEY.
The Berkeley School eleven were out-
weighed by their opponents in almost
every game, but nevertheless were able
to defeat Trinity by the score of 8 to 0,
for the New York Interscholastic Lea-
gue Championship. Their most effec-
tive play was a mass play on tackle.
The results of the more important
games were: Berkeley vs. De LaSalle,
11 to 6; Berkeley vs. Dwight, 48 to o.
The other games, beside nine practice
games with New York University, in
which Berkeley usually scored, were:

6 to 6; Berkeley vs. Columbia Fresh-
men, 0 to.6; Berkeley vs. New York
University Freshmen, o to o. The
‘feature of the team’s playing was not

whole team playing together. The line-
ip wasi:-k: Wilkin, (be oR: ison;

scholastic Athletic Association cham-
-pionship resulted in a tie, neither side

ALREADY A STRONG TRADITION
Yale is a place full of tradition. Ira-
ditions not only govern the conduct
of Freshmen, the relation of classes
and the status of institutions, but
also the business dealings of the new
comer. They direct him where to
go for the necessaries and the lux-
uries of life.
Some of these traditions become
strongly intrenched in a few years,
and there is generally a very good
reason for it. We think if you will
communicate with our store by a
personal call or by correspondence,
you will see why the tradition has
become so strong in a few years
among Yale men to get their fur-
nishings of

a match at Philadelphia. 3
The University of Pennsylvania re-

of Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Prince-

the ground that the tournament would
be too long with representatives from
five colleges playing.
