Interurban Talk in Pulaski; Winamac Wants to Get on the Line.

Winamac Democrat-Journal. John L. Burton received n letter Wednesday from James C. Fletcher, of Indianapolis, regarding the Valpa-raiso-Monticello traction line that is to be built Mr. Fletcher stated that the present plan of the promotors of the line yras to run a line through between these citise, but that there was a movement on foot among the citizens of Knox, Wanatah and Bass Lake to have the officials change the survey of the line so as to include these towns. Mr. Fletcher was of the opinion that If the Winamac citizens would hustle around a little they could doubtless have Winamac placed, on the new survey, as the promotors were rather inclined to consider this city .when they were shown just what a large amount of business could be gained thereby.*By going via Knox and Winamac, the line would be lengthened eighteen miles.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1911.

HARD FOUGHT CONTEST; NEITHER SIDE SCORING.

Rensselaer Failed to Win Fro# Frankfert But Held Opponents ScoreWss bjr Plucky Fight In a game replete with thrills, one thAt kept the big crowd on the sidelines in suspense till the whistie blew at the end of the game, Rensselaer and Frankfort did battle loyal on the Frankfort field, Friday to a 0-0 tie. So far aB frotball instinct and 1 playing ability is concerned Rensselaer had it all over the Frankfort lads. Our boys were outweighed quite a number of pounds, man to man, and had the handicap of playing on a foreign field, before a hostile crowds with a prejudiced official doing his power to torn the tide of battle to a Frankfort victory. As the game progressed it’ became manifest that the teams were, evenly matched, that good head work and team play must overcome mere muscle and brawn. And again the great element of luck was with us for time was called at the end of the first half with the ball in Frankfort’s possession on Rensselaer’S one-yard line. But the greatest enthusiasm was aroused at the end qf the gams, when the ball was on Rensselaer’s one-foot line, and the tried and true spirit of old red and black came to the fore and with two minutes to play, the defenders of R. H. S.’ enviable football record, held their stone wall defense and turned almost certain deteat to a glorious tie. Here it was that Frankfort fumbled and Ernie Moore recovered,.but Frankfort’s referee did not allow the ball to go to “Rensselaer. Then too, Rensselaer's captain, John Henmphill, was forced to leave the game before the end of the second quarter, and time was frequently taken out owing to injuries to Rensselaer men. Under the circumstances we are to at congratulated ou the outoome. The game boiled down:

The ball was in Rensselaer’s possession the greater part of the first quarter. Frankfort was repeatedly offside, and made their gains on line plunges. RCnsselaer played Park 3 around end for long gains, bdt was unable to negotiate a sucessful forward pass. Thompson and Porter hit the line for small gains, and the Rensselaer lads were marching "toward the goal line when time was called on Frankfort’s seven yard line. At the opening of the second quarter line: plunges failed to gain for Rensselaer and Parks dropped back for a try at a drop kick. The first try was marfed by Frankfort offside, and the second attempt went wide to the left. Rensselaer was forced to punt, and with the ball in Frankfort’s possession their two backs, Choate and Bowers, repeatedly made good gains. Rensselaer held for downs, was forced to punt and Parks brought the receiver down in his tracks. Robinson’s good tackle threw Frankfort for loss and they punted out of bounds. Hemphill was forced to punt and Frankfort mode several good gains through tackle. Harrison tried a drop /kick from the 35 yard line and the ball hit the cross bar. Parks recovered the ball and Frankfort’s official tried to call a drop kick. It had failed to go over and he was shown that it was a touch back. Hemphill punted to the 50 yard line, and in nailing his man had his Ja* dislocated. He was taken out and Moore substituted. Frankfort then proceeded to plow through our lighter line, and went down the field to the one yard line when time was called. Second half.

Parks kicked across line, Frankfort put ball in play on the 25 yard line and made substantial gains on line bucks. Three tries at forward pass failed, forced to punt Frankfort recovered punt on Hanley’s fumble. Line plunges netted the heavy men lots of ground,’ but offside plays held them back. Rensselaer forced to punt, and Frankfort again bucked the line. Hanley intercepted forward pass and made fifteen yards. Rensselaer made good gains. McMasters fouled Thompson. Parkß got away for long run, but out of bounds, netting only fifteen yards. Rensselaer then fumbled but recovered ball with a fifteen yard loss. :

Another fumble and Frankfort recovered ball. Choate was thrown for logs by Hamilton, forward pass failed, punted and recovered ball. Fine plays covered lots of ground. Rensselaer held for downs, and Rensselaer made no gain as time was called on the third quarter. Fourth quarter: In this quarter Rensselaer was repeatedly kept from scoring by the ball being called back by the referee. Every time ball put into play and Rensselaer made territory, ball was called back. Porter made ottslde kick, then Thompson recovered, ball called back.

Claim ball did not go 20 yards. Frankfort bucked the line again, then tried drop kick, which was blocked. Bowers got the ball and made ten yards. Frankfort fumbled. Parks got the ball and carried it back thirty yards. Porter kicked to the twenty-five yard line. Frankfort punted to Parks, who returned punt out of bounds. Forward pass failed. Potter smashed for four yards, punted, and Rensselaer penalized fifteen yards for alleged interference. Frankfort offside, five yards. Hamilton then got ball on forward pass, was thrown' as he caught the ball, netted thirteen yards. Porter then made five on fake pass. Porter punted out of bounds and Frankfort proceeded to plough through the line again. Rensselaer held for downs, Porter punted from 25 yard line to 55 yard line. Then Frankfort made several good gains. Rensselaer was penalized ‘for offside, and as the time drew to a close the close finish took place as described above. Rensselaer held for downs twice more than Frankfort, while Frankfort covered the most territory, yet victory was in their graßp had they used the line plays. They did not make one forward pass. They conld not go around our ends. They simply failed to grasp the opportunity to pound the line. The Frankfort people, while pulling to win, treated our boys in a royal manner, the players were accorded a fine reception and dance in the evening and everyone reports a most delightful occasion.

Young German Lad on Mile Bicycle Trip.

Louis Comboy, a seventeen year old German lad, arrived in Rensselaer last evening on an ordinary bicycle. He is making a trip from Denver, Colo., to New Orleans, a distance of 2,300 miles. He left Denver August 12, having covered 1,300 miles when he reached here, and having 800 miles yet to travel. He says he makes an average of 40 or 50 miles per day Ob his wheel and expects to travel fast enough to avoid cold weather. He departed for Indianapolis this morning. Cool boy says he lived in New Orleans until he was 15 years of age, when his father put a tag on him and shipped him to the west. A Colorado ranch owner adopted him and he is now returning to New Orleans for his mother, who was deserted by his father and left in destitute circumstances. The lad started on his long trip with a fund of S3O. When reaching Crown Point he had 30 cents left, but this small sum was exhausted when hd reached Rensselaer. The lad is in good spirits and thinks he will have no trouble in finishing his Journey. He is a bright young lad and bis eyes twinkle when he speaks of his future prospects. He says that the ranch owner with whom he makes his home is the owner of thousands of acres of ranch land, and as he has no family or relatives he expects to eventually Inherit the ranch.

Long a Sufferer From Gall Stone—Operated on Friday.

Wallace Ward, 36 years of age and married, was operated on at the Rhoades hospital in Chicago Friday following an «examination made by X-ray photography Ward moved here a few months ago from Chalmers. He is a laboring man and very industrious, although he has worked under the greatest adversity. For fifteen years he has been a sufferer, often laying awake almost all night after a hard day's work because of the" pain he suffered. He was treated by doctors at Chalmers without relief and took up his treatment here. A local physician took him to Chicago for examination and the operation resulted. The examination showed a gall stone of such unusual size that the case attracted unusual attention among Chicago surgeons, and whets the operation was performed a large number were present to witness it The gall stone was as large as an apple whereas they are Infrequently larger than a hazelnut The stone was surrounded by a sac of pus that made it hard to reach and the operation was a very difficult one, requiring a large incision. He got through with it very well and apparently will be restored to health, although it will require some time for hijh to improve sufficiently to return to work.
