CALI SENT FOR HARRY PARKER

THOMPSON, FEARING DISASTER, SENDS FOR VETERAN FOOTBALL MENTOR. A familiar, figure will be seen at Riverside park Sunday morning driving the Red and Black representatives who are once again to encase themselves in a set of "mtleskins on Armistice day to combat the Morocco team in what will be thp feature event of a day filled with entertainment. The figure will be Harry “HurryParker, veteran football mentor who bas led more than one Rensselaer team to a state football championship. The “hurry-up” coach has been on the shelf for several years through his own choice, but through patriotism jmdr„ the love of the game which still surges through his veins, he has been moved to action and tomorrow morning will find him whipping his charges into condition as of old. His time is limited, however, and it, will be a stiff practice that the pupils will be put through, Morocco looms formidable after its easy victory over the Heavy Goodland eleven and it is going to take a powerful drive on the part of the locals to put over a win. Captain Thompson is warning his men against .overconfidence, as he fears the attack of the invaders. He has added bulk to his line during the past week and believes that he will be able to present a much stronger line-up than was the case a few weeks ago. The line-up, as planned at present, includes a brilliant, ground-grabbing badkfield in Kirk, Parks and Porter. Hickman and Collins are slated for the wings, while the sturdy Myers and the snarling Thompson will be found at the tackle positions. Beam will be at center, with Eigelsbach directing the team at quarterback. The guard positions are doubtful.

LYCEUM COMMITTEE MEETS.

Friday evening, the lyceum committee, which has in charge the course for the ensuing year, met at the public library. Further plans were made for the coming course. The committee had chosen a much higher class course than ever before. A drive for season tickets will be put on next week. A five-number course will be given this year, one of which will be a home talent number. The committee 'has secured Kryl’s orchestra, an orchestra of eight pieces organized by the famous leader of Kryl’s This number alone is worth the price of .the -whole season ticket, and by single admission wili cosl half the' price of a season ticket. The single admission for the entire course will be $2.75 and, notwithstanding in most communities the season ticket for such a course is sold at $2.00, the local committee has set the price as low as $1.50 for half price for all grade, and high school pupils. A much larger sale of tickets will be made this year and it*is made, necessary because of the cheap season ticket and high-class entertainment. The first number will appear on November 19. The community has been divided and a section assigned to each of the,three churches, the Van Rensselaer club', Literary club and .Matinee Musicale. The Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are asked to sell tickets to the grade pupils and the high school will sell to the high school pupils. -

COMMON SENSE '

is the most uncommon gift. It is the power of judging things as they really are. Everything Nowadays is wanted “peace -with America.-’’ What he wanted was “piece of America.” Our common sense told us he was talking in one direction and walking in another. He said America can’t fight, but the “doughboys” kicked the “tea” out of “can’t.” Columbus discovered this country; the Kaiser tried to get a patept on it. He started out well, but he’s been sick since Chateau Thierry. You cap see part of that wonderful army in Rensselaer the eleventh. You can also, see our line of fine cars. We think the Franklin car incorporates, the most common sense, the least camouflage, of any car on earbh or any place else. Come in and we’irtalk common sense with the camouflage removed.—HUGH KIRK.
