Kankakee Proved Easy For Our High School Football Team.

Rensselaer had no trouble in disposing of Kankakee in the football game played at Riverside park last Saturday afternoon. The local hign school has been moving rapidly for the past two weeks and the defeat of Sheldon by the decisive score of 41 to 0 gave them assurance and they went after Kankakee from the start and when the game was called at the end of the second half the locals had made, a total score of 41 points and the visitors had failed to score. The defenders of the red and black now feel that if they had another crack at Watseka, with whom the first game was played, they might retrieve the defeat. It can be seen that a mistake was made in playing Watseka early in the season and with the experience of the later games the locals believe they scould now stand a good chance with their only winning op ponents. The team work, the individual work and the nerve of every player seems greatly improved and the team is getting into fine condition and should equal the best high school teams of the section.
