Rensselaer Facing Hard Contest In Hammond Game Tomorrow.

When the whistle sounds tomorrow afternoon at the opening of the Ham-mcnd-Rensselaer football game, the locals will .be facing the stifPeSt aggregation of pigskinners they will have to face this season. Hammond has been deefating everything they have met in the Lake county region and also several high class Chicago teams. The Hammond times, in commenting on the coming game, says: “The high school team goes to Rensselaer this coming Saturday. No line on the ability of the latter has been learned here, but Rensselaer has been able to put up on the field every year a strong opponent for Hammond, so that the exact outcome of (the game is hard to predict. The team is working hard to perfect all the weak spots and coaches feel that if the team comes up to expectation the chances of victory over the down state team ■are good.” f Coach Meyers has driven the local squad at a hard pace all week and made a few changes in spots which were weak last Saturday, and Rensselaer may be expected to put up a better game than they did against Kentland last Saturday.
