The contract for the Thanksgiving game with Curtis high school, of Chicago, was -returned Thursday, properly signed and plans are now being made for the game. Tickets will be placed in the hands of the students tomorrow and it is hoped that many will be sold before the game. The association is about S2O in debt from the Kankakee game, but with a good crowd in attendance Thanksgiving day, the debt will be cleared up and a balance left in the treasury. The Curtis team has been our opponents for the last two years and each time have put up a snappy game. They are a fine set of boys and each time, although defeated, have carried back to Chicago good reports of our treatment. In fact, they wrote to the manager abbut coming again for the Thanksgiving game. The game was scheduled near the first of the season. Since Thanksgiving games are hard to get, it is hoped to make the game with Curtis an annual affair. This is possible as long as the present good feeling between the two schools prevails. It is the purpose of all Rensselaer high school students to keep up this good feeling. When the basket hall season opens it is hoped to have a basket ball game with Curtis high. The football squad had their pictures taken Wednesday Evening.
