First Home Football Game of The Season ‘Tomorrow.

The first home football game of the season will be played tomorrow when East Chicago high school will be here to meet the local high school team. East Cicago has a team this year that averages better than 160 pounds to the man, and they have not yet met defeat this year, so the locals haye considerable of a task before them if they are to down their northern adversaries. The victory of the locals in their first game, played, at Kentland,- has greatly encouraged them and they are determined that they shall have a clean slate at the end of the season. Although there were some weak spots in the line up of the red and ' black at Kentland the past two weeks of practice has remedied these and a stronger lineup wiLl face East Chicago than Kentland.
