Among the New York schools training is now fairly started. Berkeley seems to be more advanced than any of the other teams, and another good eleven may be looked for this year. Berkeley loses its most powerful player, Irwin-Martin, who goes to college, and also its centre and two guards—Rand, Hayden and Lefferts—also one of the half-backs, Gallaway. But the right and left guards of the second eleven—Poor and Irvine—will more than replace the other two. They played nearly as well last year as the regular men, and they have now increased considerably in weight and strength. Poor is 6 ft. 4 in.; Irvine, 6 ft. 1 in. Poor was the only man last year who could hold Martin when he played up in the line.
It is probable that Wiley, the catcher of last year's nine, will go in and play half-back. He showed up well early in the season last year, but sprained his arm, and was unable to play in any of the important matches. Bien will be brought up from full-back to half, and Pell will go in at full. Centre will be looked after by Gilson, who is considered by his fellows to be far and away the best centre that Berkeley ever had. He weighs 180 pounds, and stands 6 ft. 1 in. There are a number of the second-eleven men and three or four new students who have turned out very promising candidates, and it is probable that before the championship games come on Berkeley will have developed some good team-work.

HYDE PARK HIGH-SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM.
Champions of the Cook County High-School Football League, 1895.
The Hyde Park High-School team, which won the championship of the Cook County High-School League last year, was the lightest eleven in the Association, averaging but 135 pounds. Nevertheless, it managed to make the following record in the League Championship series:
| Oct. | 9. | Englewood H.-S. | 0 | H.P.H-S. | 12 |
| Oct. | 12. | Evanston H.-S. | 0 | H.P.H-S. | 28 |
| Oct. | 19. | Lake View H.-S. | 0 | H.P.H-S. | 16 |
| Oct. | 26. | English H.-S. | 0 | H.P.H-S. | 40 |
| Nov. | 2. | Chicago M.-T.S. | 4 | H.P.H-S. | 14 |
| Nov. | 9. | Oak Park H.-S. | Forfeited to H.P. | ||
| Nov. | 16. | North Division L.-S. | 0 | H.P.H-S. | 18 |
| Nov. | 20. | West Division L.-S. | 0 | H.P.H-S. | 16 |
| - | —- | ||||
| Scored by opponents | 4 | H.P.H.-S. | 144 |
The Hyde Park H.-S. eleven has already gotten down to work, and on September 17 played the Chicago University eleven, losing, 24-0. In this game Ummemyer played very well at right half, making a number of gains against the heavier college men. If he is well coached he should develop into a strong player by the time the championship series closes.
