Parker to Coach St. Joseph College Football Team.

St. Joseph’s college is going to enter upon the most active participation in football this year it has ever indulged in and Coach Harry Parker, for twelve or fourteen years the mainstay in the coaching of the local high school elevens, has contracted to instruct the colelge boys, which will mean that they will have the best team they ever had and be in condition to meet the strong preparatory schools and secondary colleges. While the college did not enter into the game early enough this year to get a schedule that will include any of the colleges of the state it will give an entering wedge to get games from these schools another year and should be a meaps of giving St. Joe some splendid advertising and be the result of bringing many fine football contests to the college in future years, while games this year will probably be arranged with schools like St. Ignatius, St. Viators and Catholic schools in Chicago. Mr. Parker made a great success with his various high school teams, sustaining only a small per cent of losses.
