RENSSELAER WINS AGAIN; FENCER VICTIM

Local High School In Third Straight Victory, Downing Fenger High . of Chicago, 33 to 0. Rensselaer high school won her third straight victory Saturday when she downed Fenger high of Chicago 33 to 0. The visitors were somewhat handicapped by the superior we i gilt of their opponents, but nevertheless fought a clean, plucky game throughout, and gave the best there was in them. Fenger high was formerly known as Cutris, and has been here on several previous occasions. A long run by Beam, who intercepted a forward pass in the fore part of the game, which ended in a touchdown, 'seemed- to take the heart out of the visitors, who up to that time were stubbornly resisting the ad-. vance of the red and black. Dan Guild at half back was the stellar light for the 'locals and he smashed the opposing wall viciously for many substantial gains. Guild was aided, however, by the clever work of Gourley, who again pormises to be ranked as the best in his position among the high school players of the state. Beam, Capt. Moore, Y6rk and McColly, the Rensselaer linesmen, also put up a sterling defense and the entire team under the able tutelege of Coach Meyers is rounding into one of the best bunch of gridiron warriors that ever donned the moleskins of Rensselaer high school. The victory Saturday left the locals still with a clean slate and if they can trounce Hammond at that place next Satur<lay a straight run of victories for the season is assured.—Every single member of the team is working hard for success and are not shirking their duties. They have one idea in view—that of being one of the teams to play in the- Indiana-Purdue curtain raiser at Lafayette next Month. The game opened with the visitors 'receiving the ksek, but they soon losfc the ball on downs. Both teams were unable to gain much ground at the start and it was a punting duel for a time. Near the end of the first quarter Beam intercepted a forward pass and by some clever dodging along, the side line planted the oval behind the goal posts for the first marker of the game. Following this Fenger weakened and touchdowns came frequently. York, Capt. Moore, Guild and Gourley had jr touchdown apiece to their credit. The first half ended 26 to 0. Fenger -came back strong in the second half and held the locals to one touchdo.wn, sending the score to 33, when Capt. Moore booted a goal. Hammond next Saturday.
