High School football Team Met Defeat in first Game.

The Rensselaer high school football team met defeat at 'Morocco Saturday’ by the score of 20 to 0. It was the first game of the year and the boys were greatly disappointed at their defeat. They were*not discouraged, however, and hope to retrieve the victory When the Newton county lads return the game here on Oct. 24th. The Rensselaer lads say that the Morocco players averaged 10 pounds to the roan heavier than they. The rainy day made the trip there a disagreeable one and the autobus broke down on the return trip, causing considerable delay. Morocco gave the team and visitors the finest kind of treat ment.
