SHERIDAN GAME WILL RECLAIM DOPE.
When Kentland walked over the crippled and disorganized R. H. S. for four touchdowns they in no way proved their superiority by that margin. In the first quarter, with the regulars in place, Rensselaer looked the best. All football men on the side lines felt sure they would “cop.” Guess “Pede” Meyers felt too sure. Now Sheridan held Kentland and gets through holding Sheridan we think the dope will look better again from our viewpoint, Everything points to a record crowd when Sheridan comes. The grounds should be better policed and spectators should wear their ti eke ts. Those who can’t buy tickets can carry water. Water boy to a football team is an honorary position to a small boy. We never felt bigger 'than we carried water out on the field to the ‘illustrious McGregor,” the “infallible Gwin,” the “invulnerable Hopkins,” the “immortal Dobbins,” and others too numerous for adjectives. . . Being water boy is a big feeling in its place, but to make a life work of carrying water to a leaky radiator," oh, boy! that’s my idea of zero in business efficiency. Buy a i Franklin. They don’t stop for need nor water. —Thompson & Kirk.
