PINE VILLAGE AND R. H. S. VICTORS

Former Drubbed Valparaiso 37 to 0 Sunday and Locals Troiinced Kentland Saturday 7 to 6. Pine Village downed Valparaiso in the Sunday clash at Riverside Park and Rensselaer high school was returned the victor over Kentland high school at the latter place Saturday by the narrow margin of 7 to 6. The Sunday crowd at Riverside Park looked like old football this city, fully twb thousand people being on the field when the referee called the game. Hundreds of visitors from nearby towns were on hand for the~~game and the gridiron was ■lined with machines, three deep in some places. It is estimated that at least three hundred machines were inside the park. The day was ideal for football and the crowd began to arrive early Sunday morning. Paul Sheeks, Wabash college coach, refereed the game with Atkinson, of Morocco, umpiring.

Pine Village was the heavier of the two teams and outclassed their rivals all the way. However, the latter did not quit trying a single moment and resisted stubbornly every inch of the way. The work of Ed Davis, Milligan, R. Fenters and Hooker featured for the Villagers with Holvie as the stellar light for the University City. Valparaiso was unable to penetrate the heavy Pine Village line and made first down but four times during the game. The heavy Village line opened up holes in the Vfilpo line which allowed the backfield to slip through for gain after gain, while their clever .interference also produced big gains around the Valpo end men. Pine Village was penalized frequently . for holding and costly fumbles kept them from scoring in the first quarter. The entire quarter was played in Valpo territory. The ball was advanced to the Valpo 32 yard line once, where Sheridan’s try at a drop kick was a failure.

Valpo punted at the start of the second quarter from the shadow of their*, own goal posts. Pine Village gained consistently after this and soon shoved Williams over for a touchdown. Fenters missed goal. Score, Pine Village 6, Valpo 0. Fenters received the kick for Pine Village and ran it back 32 yards. The heavy Village backfield tore through the defense for gain after gain. Ed Davis, on a tackle around play scoring the second touchdown of the day. Festers again misled goal. The ball was in midfield the rest of the half. Pine Village opened up in the third quarter and soon had three more touchdowns, the first coming after the first two minutes of play. Fenters missed two goals, Rhode kicking thp other, and making the score 31 to 0 in favor, of the .Villagers. raiso braced up after this and the = Wt’ once more, a short time before the close of the game, making the final score 37 to 0. Manager Rhode was well pleased with the crowd and it is probable that he will play another game here this season, probably with Hammond or Evanston, 111.

In the opening game of the season for the local high school team at Kentland Saturday Coach Meyers’ proteges downed their adversaries in a hard contest, the final score being 7 to 6. Although the count was close, the game was, a victory and that w'.as all that was necessary and the local followers are well pleased. The team is new and showed defects which wil be overcome with more training and it is figured that with another w'eek’s hard work the locals will be in much better shape and able to give East Chicago a drubbing when they come here next Saturday. Football prospects are bright for the red and black this year and Capt. Moore and his men say that they expect to defeat everything they face this season, and put Rensselaer back on the football map. The inexperience of Rensselaer kept the score from being a larger one, as they should have had at least three more touchdowns. The teams were about equally matched in weight. Kentland scored first, making their touchdown in the first quarter, but failed in their effort at the field goal, which proved disastrous to them. The lone Rensselaer touchdown came in the second quarters after a series of line plunges by the Rensselaer back field men. Capt. Moore went over for the" touchdown and McColly making the winning . point by the goal. Following the Rensselaer touchdown neither side was able to score again but the ball was in Kentland territory most of the time, and several times the locals were about to score, but something would go wrong, and they would lose their chMnce. The work of Gourley at eenter,■ and McColly, Moore and Beam, featured for Rensselaer.
