Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 277, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 November 1914 — Attica Took Town Team To Terrific Trouncing. [ARTICLE]

Attica Took Town Team To Terrific Trouncing.

The town team completed hurried arrangements for a football game at Attica and journeyed to that city by auto Sunday morning. Several members of the team were unable to go and Hugh Kirk, Jim Thompson and John Robinson were not in the line-up and Rensselaer was without a substitute. With the entire team present the ■game might have been played on equal terms. As it was the Attica eleven proved too much for our huskies and won 'by the score of 32 to 7. Rensselaer’s lone touchdown came in the third period when 15on Beam, playing center, intercepted a forward pass and ran 55 yards, planting the ball over the goal line. Attica had a team with an average weight of 180 pounds and at center was a man weighing 220 pounds, who used to play in the old days when Big Ed •Moon was one of the stars of the Rensselaer line. This was the first defeat that Rensselaer had met this year. No other games h-aVe been scheduled, but if the weather continues good and games can be procured it is probable the season will continue for a time.
