Two Football Stars to Enter Sheridan High School

Rensselaer high school is to lose two of its best football players, namely Bert Greenlee j and Fred Putts, who have decided to go to Sheridan, where, it is understood, they will receive their board and books free in consideration of them playing football with the Sheridan team. Greenlee was .the heiviest man in the line and great expectations were being entertained for . him this year. His* father moved to Yeoman several -months ago and Bert reentered school here again this year, but the opportunity at Sheridan is so good that he feels he can not afford to turn it down. Putts has been a star player for the past two years, showing especially well in. the tackle position, although he done much creditable work behind the line. He is heavy, nervy and tolerably fast. The withdrawal of these two play-' ers will prove a great loss to the local Jiigh school, which\had very good prospects for a good team.
