Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 258, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 November 1911 — Hammond Defeated Gary in Football Game Saturday. [ARTICLE]

Hammond Defeated Gary in Football Game Saturday.

The Rensselaer high school is trying to dope out the difficulty they will have in disposing of Hammond next Saturday. Hammond was defeated recently by Crown Point but turned right around and beat Gary last Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. There is intense rivalry in Lake county for the championship and Hammond will have a number of players in next Saturday’s game., who are recognized as first ejass athletes and fcho have hitherto been ineligible on account of studies. A special examination is expected to reinstate a number of their best players. The local eleven is expecting a stiff contest and are keeping up their training. The fine exhibition last Saturday will doubtless help in drawing a big crowd to witness the Saturday contest, which will begin at Riverside Athletic Park at 2:30 o’clock sharp. Have your piano tuned by Otto Braun. Leave your order with any of the band boys.
