FOOTBALL.

The greatest crowd that ever witnessed a professional football game in the middle west is expected to view the Cornell-Hamburg-Hammond clash at Hammond Sunday. The Cor-nell-Hamburg team is one of the leading western elevens and have the championship of Chicago clinched. The game is billed as being for the middle western championship. The easy victory of Hammond last Sunday over Pine Village has given them a very high rating and they look to be the cream of the west. Hundreds of dollars have been wagered on the outcome of the battle. The game is expected to devolve into a kicking duel between “Rube” Johnson, former North End star, for the Cornells, and Paddy Driscoll, last year’s Northwestern U. star. —o —- Coach Meyers is leading the Rensselaer high school squad against Logansport at that place today.
