Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 279, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 November 1910 — Football the Big Attraction Next to Turkey Tomorrow. [ARTICLE]

Football the Big Attraction Next to Turkey Tomorrow.

Turkey will be the center of attraction on many dining tables tomorrow. Chickens, ducks and geese will also be the poultry selections in many homes in and about Rensselaer. After the dinner and before it is well shaken down the football game will be on. The Rensselaer high school will have as its opponents the Curtis high school, of Chicago, and the outcome is conjectural. The great improvement the high school has made since the opening of the school year has given confidence that the team is able to win. It is a general thing that Rensselaer teams are victorious on Thanksgiving and a game on that day has always attracted a big crowd. The game will be called at 2:30. Five hundred tickets have been printed and placed on advanced sale. A big crowd will probably be out and if the weather is good it should prove a gala day for enjoyment. In the evening at the armory a dance will be given by the Rensselaer Social Club. One hundred and fifty invitations were sent out and it is expected that the dance will be a very delightful affair. Thursday moring at the Presbyterian church the union service of Thanksgiving will be held. The sermon will be delivered by Rev. J. P. Green, of the Baptist church.
