on the boat going down and back, while probably these things have been forgotten by the student body at the high school. The schedule included games with our old antagonists Middletown, lrving and Yonkers, and Blair Academy and Raymond Riordan appeared Tor the lirst time. The latter, emboldened by a victory over the second team, tried the lirst, with disastrous results. W'ithout question the unrest and anxiety caused by the war affected 'football at N. Y. M. A. as it did at all schools and colleges in close 'touch with military matters. There was a lack of interest and enthu- siasm which has been so evident in the past, there was a lack of proper training spirit, and no sign of the concentration so necessary if the team is to win. Football is a jealous mistress and brooks no rivals. It is football lirst and last, early and late, morning. noon and night, if a team is to prove better on the gridiron than rivals of equal size and length of training. And such a spirit was lacking. The second team, under Mr. Mylius, and the third team, under Mr Haigh, worked faithfully during the season and began the development of some players who will make the school team in a year or so. Alto- gether, there is no reason to worry over the failure. A school can't win all the time, and we must expect defeat once in a while and take the result philosophically. Tnnum l U0'l'R.Xl.I.

But this year, Manual 'l'raining elected to play the game here, so arrangements were made on that understanding. XVhen the day and hour came, our team was out on the field ready for business, but Manual Training failed to appear. No real explanation was ever received fl-li for the cause of the default, but we heard hazy reports of a manager who overslept-H of conflicting' instructions to the members of the team-of lack of funds-and similar in- adequate reasons. It all goes to show, how- ever, the lack of traditions, school color and I school responsibility in even so sound a high l school as Manual Training, which is so strange to prep school ideals. N. Y. M. A. would have gone to Brooklyn in aeroplanes, if neces- sary, rather than break a date with Manual, but then, we all remember the games of the past, the splendid sportsmanship shown by both teams on the lield, and the great times 149
