SUCKER TEAM FELL BEFORE STEAMROLLER SATURDAY.

Presenting the same steamroller attack which they used on the Remington team, the local high school football team crushed the Gilman, 111., eleven Saturday at Riverside park by a count of 28 to 0. It was the second straight victory in as many starts for the Rensselaer aggregation, whose goal line still remains uncrossed. v The gridiron was heavy from many days Of rain, and a chilly wind blew across the field, which made the spectators uncomfortable and retarded the~wbrk of the players. The Gilman players fought hard all the way, but were unable to fathom the open field play of the Red and Black. Rensselaer also presented a remarkable defense and at no time was its goal threatened. Coach Hadley has his men well versed in all departments of the game. They are quick to take advantage of every opening and all seem to possess the football instinct which is so essential to a winning team. Two victories have given them spirit and confidence, and it is doubtful if there is a team in this section of the state that will be able to defeat them.
