I. A. C. DROPPED IN 7-6 FRAY

INDEPENDENTS WON IN SUNDAY THRILLER—R. H. S. AND ST. JOSEPH BUMPED. I Great gobs of gloom gathered on the Midway Saturday evening when tidings of the l 6-o Watseka disaster, suffered by the ' Rensselaer high School team, and the 26-19 affair dropped by the Red and Purple of St Joseph college to Crane of Chicago, drifted in. Even the weatherman grew mournful and about eight o’clock turned on the fog to lend* an additional touch to the murky surroundings. Lanterns wepe called into play by the football populace as they wended their way solemnly homeward. Not until 4:27 o’clock Sunday afternoon was the gloom partially lifted, and then the old town became rollicking Crazy with joy, vocal chords went to the repair shop, the weatherman turned on the sun and Coach Parker’s hair turned from silver to a real glossy, jet black. 'Louis Putts’ toe was responsible for the strange metamorphosis. Louis is a delicate little thing who grew up" on his father’s farm south of Rensselaer. At a tender age Lodis was handed a book of Horace Greeley’s works. In one spot the book said, “Young Man, Go West,” but Louis didn’t heed the advice of the sage and remained on the farm to do his growing up. He took off his shoes and let his feet run wild and as a result soon had some life-sized dogs. It was one of these feet that sent a leather football between a pair of uprights at Riverside park Sunday afternoon,, adding the necessalry point to give Rensselaer its first victory in two-days’ play. The victim of Louis’ well-groomed foot was the Indianapolis A. C., who were bumped off in a 7 to 6 fray before a crowd of 1,100 football fanatics. Louis’ bread-winning marker followed . a Rensselaer touchdown, which came four minutes before the final whistle, and knotted the count of the capitol city aggregation. As Louis poised himself, the' great big bashful thing that he is a “why me?” expression came over his face, for well Louis knew what the kick meant —he was to be either a hero or a bum. As he methodically, deliberately advanced upon the ball, the gaping multitude held its breath, then an instant later he lifted his foot and smacked the leather right smartly, and the ball sped straight and true between the goal posts.. Loud applause from the assembled fish at thia point. The game was one of the most thrilling ever staged at Riverside park and throughout the first three quarters and until the final four minutes of play in the final period, Rensselaer had trailed the Indianapolis behemoths, who had registered a touchdown in the first minute of play in the second quarter after a steady march down the field through the Rensselaer line. The visitors were powerful, rangy and. well trained players and. at a glance the 1,100 folk inside the inckwure knew that Rensselaer had an armload to carry. Through the first half the visitors demonstrated their superiority and only the Rensselaer , .gameness kept the invaders from scoring again before the close of, the half. During the third quarter Rensselaer grew stronger, and battled on even terms with their heavier opponents, and the ball wafe in midfield the greater part 1 of the period. Neither team was ; able to make much headway during the firsts few minutes of the final period, then the visitors suddenly weakened and Rensselaer assumed the aggressive and started a line of march which the visitors failed to chock* ; * * f ■ The turning point of the game came when McCarthy, the visiting half-hack, fumbled on his own 45yard Mne and the ball was recovered by Simons. Spurred on. by the break in the luck, the Collins brothers changed portions and Lee chucked a forward pass into Paul’s greedy mittens for a fifteen yard gain. Babcock smashed ahead for six yards and. then circled right end for ten more yards. Babcock was tackled out of bounds and Rensselaer was awarded five yards by Referee Kirk. - Royster went ahead for eight yards and on the next play Quarterback Moore plunged over the line, the ball going over Xa scant inch. Then, as recited ve, Putts kicked goal. . It *was a wonderful exhibition played Before a wonderful, orderly' crowd comprised of fans from many counties. Indianapolis clearly outplayed the locals during the first two periods, but Rensselaer was the stronger at the finish and would have scored again within a short time. Indianapolis carried the greater avoirdupois, but Coafch Parker’s pupils showed the greater skill in the open field game. Rensselaer was also weakend by the absence of Beam, who had {suffered an injury the previous "Sunday, and halfbacks Porter and Newels, who were forced to retire from the ga The otftetanding feature of the Rensselaer play was the wort of Paul Collins and Royster at the halfback positions, Moore at quarter, Thompson at guard, Putts at tackle and Babcock at full Referee Kirk made a hit with the crowd and kept the game from drag-

ging. His white trousers also made a hit with the lady bugs present. Indianapolis protested his decisions on a few occasions, but found that Hughie knew the .book and their chirps gradually became more feeble. The Araby A- C. of Chicago will be here next Sunday. I : ' Playing «on a strange field before a hostile crowd and against a team which outweighed them, Cdach Leighly\ undefeated high school eleven succumbed before the attack of the Watseka, Hl., high school team Saturday in a well played game 16 to 0, the visitors scoring their points during the first half, nine of them -comling in the ftry quarter. Thereafter the teams battled on even terms and during the last two periods the ball was in Watseka territory the greater part of the time. On one occasion Rensselaer smashed through the Watseka line and apparently registered a touchdown, but the ball was pushed back and the referee refused to allow a score. Overconfidence played ai prominent part in the Rod and Black defeat, and the locals failed to show the brand of football of which they are capable of playing. - Weiss, at center, was the satellite of the locals and bids fair to develop into one of the best centers of which the local school has boasted in years. The defeat at the hands of Watseka will have no bearing on the Indiana standing of the Red and Black, and victories over Morocco, Kentland, Gary and Kirklin will give them a strong claim to the title. , Saturday will be an off date m ' the schedule for Rensselaer, but Kentland will show their wares here the flowing Saturday. Coach Harry Moore’s St Joseph College eleven was defeated at the college gridiron Saturday afternoon in a nip and tuck affair which was not decided until near the close of the game when a Crane runner dashed through the Red and Purple players for a touchdown, giving hij

team a 26 to 19 edge. St Joe started in whirlwind fashion and clearly outclased the visitors during the first period, leading at half time 19 to 7. However, the college line weakened perceptibly in the last two sessions and the Chicagoans tore through for gain after gain. The St Joe team is composed for the most part of first year men who are bound to develop with a few games. s

IRISH FREEDOM SOCIETY AGAINST LEAGUE OF NATIONS
