Hammond Wooing State Title; Hopes to Defeat Rensselaer.

Hammond Times. - Hammond high school will have an opportunity to make another bid for the state football championship Saturday when it plays Rensselaer there. Rensselher tied Kentland and Kentland defeated Hammond at the season’s start. If Hammond downs its Saturday’s opponent it will bid fair for honors. Coach Walter Hess is consistently drilling his proteges and expects to have them in tip-top shape for the game. Quarterback Howatt, injured in the South Bend game, will not play Saturday.
