C. of Chicago in a listless affair at Riverside park Sunday afternoon 34 to 0 for their third straight win of the season. With the exception of the brilliant forward passing of Paul Collins and the line smashing of Royster, the game was devoid of interest, and the outcome was never in doubt. The vaitors were a speedy, aggressive outfit, game to/ the core, but lacking in'weight to be dangerous. Coach Parker used the majority of his second string men during the last half. Rensselaer indulged in straight football practically the entire game and but few trick plays were resorted to. Rensselaer scored once in the first quarter and once in the second quarter, both touchdowns being made by Royster who gained consistently throughout the two periods.
