RIVALS OF OLD ARE TO MEET

IN ARMISTICE DAY CELEBRATION WHEN MOROCCO MEETS RENSSELAER. Failing in their effort to get Claire Rhode's Pine Village elevt® here for a game with some other high class professional eleven bn Armistice day, the committee in charge of the entertainment for the day announces that an independent club from Morocco will meet a Rensselaer team on that day, all of which is pleasing news to the followers of football whose football appetite was whetted to a keen edge recently when old time high school stars met a representative eleven from St. Joseph’s college. Morocco has always been noted as a producer of high class football material and in years gone by has always been able to give the Red and Black teams real, arguments, excepting, of course, the days of Marshall, Pascells, Saylor, et. al. Last Sunday the Morocco team which is to appear here the eleventh of November defeated a strong team from Goodland by a score of 31 to 0. It is expected that a monster crowd will be on hand for the day’s entertainment and one of the largest football crowds dn history is expected to jam its way into Riverside park. All soldiers of the late war will be admitted to the game free of charge, but a charge of thirty-

five cents will be made to the remainder of the public. The gate receipts are to be split 60-40. Simon Thompson, who has charge of the Rensselaer team, had his men in a workout Monday evening and will continue with the practice each night during the time remaining. Hugh Kirk, a star performer on the high school team a few years ago, will go into the backfield alongside of Parks and Porter, thus re-estab-lishipg the backfield that worked for Rensselaer in ’lO, ’ll and ’l2. Collins and Hickman will probably take care of the wings and Thompson and Babcock will work the tackle positions. Beam will be at center and Putts and Henry are the probable starters at the guard portions. - -
