Wanted

It is nobody's secret that good high-school football players usually manage to get scholarshipped to college, but until last fortnight few suspected that such commercialism had invaded private preparatory schools. Even colleges that are more-or-less frankly professional do not usually resort to want ads. But a want ad was just what appeared in the Commercial Notices of New York newspapers:

''High-school football players offered full scholarship in military school at once, U 2045."

P: The Harvard-Yale game of the prep schools is the 59-year-old series between Exeter and Andover. Last week at Exeter, N. H., with Andover trailing 13-to-15 in the last quarter, Andover's Hovey Seymour threw a fourth-down pass to Morrie Gould on Exeter's 3-yd. line. To many of the 3,000 spectators huddled in the rain, it looked as if the ball bounced from the ground into Gould's hands, but officials ruled the pass completed. A few plays later, Hal Tine went over for his third touchdown, and Andover won, 20-to-15.

P: The game between Admiral Farragut Academy (Toms River, N. J.) and New York Military Academy (Cornwall, N. Y.) is called: "The little Army-Navy game." Before a crowd of 40,000 in Philadelphia last week Admiral Farragut's Phil Hurt and Carl Jousley scored two touchdowns each, as little Navy defeated little Army, hitherto unscored-on 31-to-0.

P: Groton School finished its season undefeated and untied by beating its 49-year-old rival. St. Marks. 26-to-6.

P: Choate, with probably the best prep-school team in the East this year, kept its slate clean, won the 28th renewal of its series with Kent, 33-to-0.
