Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 275, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1919 — LET’S ALL GO TO KENTLAND. [ARTICLE]

LET’S ALL GO TO KENTLAND.

We were a little too hard on the boys for not wading right into Logansport and playing the best football they knew, but we were only trying to prepare them for Kentland. , Kentland will have twice the backing that Logansport had and as much over-confidence as Morocco. Their over-cenfidence alone will teartiem it the boys spring a surprise in the firsVquarter. Stop them atanyeost—andpretertdyou-didit easily. That’s what i>eht Morocco. First Rensselaer stopped them and then we acted disappointed that their attack was so simple. Working our best, we had those regulars thinking we were ready for twice their aggressiveness. Literally they were kidded out of their back bone. Morale has as much influence in football as in the army. I would like to see enough followers go to Kentland to make these boys feel at home. I don’t think Kentland knows half enough football to beat a team from R,z H. S. when they are going right. Let’s go. Morocco started, eleven good men. Rensselaer only started ten men and a quarter. Two out of the ten were only “halves.” Let’s see —that left nine and a quarter. One of them was “full” (full of pep). I can’t figure yet how we beat ’em, but I guess our quarter did enough for the whole back field. Anyhow we had seven real men in the line and for once I think the linemen got the credit they deserved. It always has been the habit to pat football teams on their “backs,” but, hear me, the days is lost and won by the “front line,” the same as in battles. With the proper “barage,” most anybody can bring up the rear. . The man with a Franklin isn t worrying about his car freezing up. Stop, look and think! —HUGH KIRK.
