ANNUAL FOOTBALL CONTEST WITH CURTIS

Rivals For Past Two Years WIU Tiike Third Trial With Red and Black —Good Game in Sight. The athletic event of greatest prominence in Rensselaer for a dozen years or more has been the football game on Thanksgiving Day. For the past two years and again this year the op-, ponents of Rensselaer have been Curtis high school of Chicago. The visitors have been twice defeated and it is expected to accomplish this result again tomorrow. Coach Parker has been -trying everything known to his football ingenuity to put the team into .condition and he witnessed that game at Purdue last Saturday to get someideas that might prove valuable. The boys are determined to put their best effort into the game and it will be full of scrap from the kick-off. The game will be called at 2:30 o’clock. It Is hoped that the playing periods are made the full time prescribed under the rules. The game should be largely attended and give, evidence of the gay spirits of an occasion of the kind. The school rooters have composed some yells and are planning to give the players lots of encouragement. ;
