Rensselaer is to have an athletic football team this year, the first for several* years, and, like other city teams which this town has produced, it has a fine chance to clean up on some of the athletic clubs over the state and to make a mark for itself in the athletic world.

It was learned that there are a number of athletic teams in Indiana, some of them having old college stars playing on them. The Jimmy Clabby team at Hammond, the Wabash Athletic Club, and the Chapion Hall Club, of Notre Dame, are prospective opponents for the big days. The management is very anxious to get games with other teams and a number of letters have been dispatched containing challenges. Manager .KipHnger hopes to get a game for Sunday, Oct. 11th. A subscription paper is being passed and liberal response is being made by admirers of the sport.
