KENTLAND’S BULK PROVED UNDOING OF RENSSELAER.

I Contesting every inch of ground from whistle to whistle, Rensselaer high school’s football team fell in defeat at Kentland Saturday in the first setback suffered this season. Kentland’s bulk tells the story of the locals’ fall, and the Blue and White team looked more like a prep school team than that of a high school. The Rensselaer players were badly used up and some of them were forced to retire early with injuries. In addition to removals by the injury route, Collins was put out of the game for roughing a Kentland player. The final score was 27 to 0. Shortly after the opening whistle Rensselaer started an open field style of play that bewildered her । opponents and placed the ball on the Kentland 10-yard mark. A costly fumble saved Kentland at .his moment and a Blue and White encased leg sent the ball far down the field. Thereafter Rensselaer never threatened. Kentland relied on [straight football and brawn for her victory, and presented a sorry spectaele in her attempts at open field , play. __ _ ~ . | The final game of the season for i the locals will be played here on , Thanksgiving day, when Peru appears.
