FODDER FOR FEVERISH FOOTBALL FANATICS

Some bug on Ae sidelines. Sunday aptly termed Kentland, as the great “football melting pot” after he had surveyed the assortment of uniforms worn by the cosmopolitan group that was to oppose Rensselaer. Evidently things are looking up for Rensselaer in independent gnd circles, for there are many teams clamoring for a chance to barap Ae locals. Manager Ross himself swamped with offers Monday evening from teams wanting to play here next Sunday. During the day the balance wheel of Ae local outfit received seven offers. However, he believed a game at Kentland to be Ae best bet. And only » week ago the locals were having difficulty in securing a game Ar last Sunday. A meeting of the team was held at Ae Van Rensselaer club rooms Monday evening, at winch time it was decided that the squad wojdd practice daily in Thanksgiving game wiA the strong American Legion team of Micnigan City. A regular training routine will be followed, something^tha; has not been in vogue since Ae start of Ae season.

There is a strong possibility that games will be played by Rensselaer ww after Thanksgiving. The Gary Elks, who are making a very strong bid for Ae state title, have made a very attractive offer to Manager Ross for the appearance the Rensselaer team there early in December. Kentland is another team teat is also desirous of a post-eea-sen game to be played at that place, and there are still others prolong the season by booking a game wiA the Parkers. Alexandria, accounted one of the .best teams in the state, was kn ocked off by Ae Indianapohs A. Sunday, a team that was defeated by Rensselaer earlier in the season. Many of Ae fans and Anettes Sanday evening to the satisfaction from * lame shoulder, that Collins waTsick and that Babcock had not fully recovered from his injury conj" tt would be better for the team n Sere were less sideline coaches of the type that condemns the coaching ■ystem through ignorance of facto.

LAFAYETTE MAN TO MAKE GOOD $50,000 INDEBTEDNESS

Lafayette, Ind., November 15.— S. Leslie Mansfield, live stock dealer at the Lafajptte union* stockyards, whose financial reverses brought him to the verge of bankruptcy a few days ago, resulting in the loss of his home and his .arrest on a charge of issuing fraudulent checks, will make good all his indebtedness, amounting to $50,000, his attorneys have announced, and will start in business anew. The grand jury, which has just adjourned its fall session, investigated Mansfield's ae- • tivities but returned no indictment against him. It was found that at the time he issued checks, which the banks refused to honor because he had no money to meet them, he had several thousand dollars in his bank account, but payment on a SIO,OOO draft on a New York live stock concern was stopped and this resulted in Mb account at Jhe bank being overdrawn. According to Mansfield's lawyers, local capitalists have come to his assistance and he outstanding chocks within the next week. At a meeting of Mansfield's creditors it was voted to throw Mm into bankruptcy, but later they reconsidered their action and decided to permit him to make good. Mansfield has been doing a business many thoumnd.
