In Class A, the championship of which has generally been captured by Andover, many schools are sending only a few picked stars. Among the institutions which have adopted this scheme are the North Shore Country Day School of Chicago, Illinois, the State College High School of State College, Pennsylvania, and the Browne and Nichols School of Cambridge.
