NOW PERU CANCELS; SHERIDAN HERE TURKEY DAY.

The High School Athletic association received notice from the Peru high school athletic director Tuesday that his football team, scheduled to appear here Thanksgiving day, would be unable, to fulfill their engagemenU and a result Principal SJiepler found himself in the same plight as that of a week ago when the Momence high school team backed up on their contract to show here Turkey day. However, it seems that every time an opponent cancels Principal Shepler secures an even better attraction. Sheridan high school has been booked in the place of Peru, and the fans are assured of an interesting argument for the season’s final. Sheridan trounced Logansport, a team which tied Rensselaer, by a disgraceful score, according to Logansport’s own words. The downstaters also held the Kentland team to a draw, a team which a week ago defeated the locals 27 to 0. Shen--1 dan is claiming the championship of the northern half of the state, and is sure to make the contest an interesting one.
