Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 275, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 November 1911 — Coach Parker Reached Half Century Mark in Football. [ARTICLE]

Coach Parker Reached Half Century Mark in Football.

Coach Harry Parker had more than an ordinary interest in the result of last Saturday’s football game. It was the fiftieth game played by Rensselaer in which he has coached. When the contest was over and victory perched on the banner of the Rensselaer school he was pleased almost beyond expression. It is doubtful if there has been any town or city in Indiana that year in and year out has had such consistently good football teams as Rensselaer, and Mr. Parker’s diary of results shows that of the fifty games played under his coaching 37 have been won, 8 have been tied and only 5 lost. It is a record" that both the coach and the town can feel proud of.
