High School Being Put Through Hard Practice This Week.

In preparation for their coming clash with the HammondTnglTsclfool team at Hammond on next Saturday the local football squad is being put through the most strenuous practice of the season by Coach Meyers. Hammond is the one obstacle that stands in the way of the locals for the northern championship.and this game will be the hardest on the season’s schedule. A victory at Hammond will practically assure the red and black the honor of representing northern Indiana in the curtain raiser to the Indiana’d’urdue game. Hammond was defeated by South Bend Saturday 19 to 7, but on the previous Saturday they routed East Chicago by the same score c.as they were defeated by South Bend. The Hammond team has been erratic throughout the season and there is no telling what kind of football thev will play against Rensselaer Saturday. A large number of rooters will accompany the locals to Lake county Saturday.
