FEVERISH FODDER FOR FRESH FOOTBALL FANATICS

Dr. Parker and his trained menagerie again condescended to prac--tice last evening and a goodly group of galloping gumps were on band for the workout. They were as about as animated as a school of rheumatic crayfish. - The man of mystery who scintillated at one of the end positions ent and stirred the railMras witn fancy maneuvers. All team taggers Sunday are urged to wear pansies, even the lady ibugs, in honor of the manager. On the return trip they will carry lillies while Jeremiah Healy plays slow music on his flute. The exodus to Kentland Sunday will be so heavy that the city wifi be as barren as a baldhead. A retinue of muscle patters and valets were present at the training quarters following the workout but there wasn’t anything to rub. Two baths in one week ware too much for the gang members. They appreciate a cold shower in midNovember about as much as a bum prizes a dead-head ticket to a meeting of the Ladies’ Literary Society.

The sterling Mr. Beam was among the absent last evening, due to the fact that he was suffering from a heavy cold contracted the previous evening when he appeared sans his golashes. He will be ready for Sunday’s tilt, however. One catstepper writes in to inquire if rule books on reading this stuff sre distributed among constant readers. No rule books are necessary, the dots and dashes, commas snd periods glide softly in to their silo ted places, whild the general thought runs deliriously up and down the column. A reader who possesses a brain that runs at random is the reader who appreciates it the most. It doesn’t mean anything. Some of the squad are troubled with a gathering in the bead, due to too much publicity. They must believe the nice things we say about them. The squad members are asked to do their own valeting Sunday morning and assemble themselves at the Thompson and Kirk garage at elev-en-thirty where the cars and drivers will be in waiting to take them to their destruction. Through an error it was annauneed that prices of the game would be one dollar for adults and fifty cents for those under eighteen plus tax. The' prices announced will include the tax, making the rate one dollar flat for adults snd fifty cents for children. Kentland A put on an extensive advertising campaign for the Bensselaer game ana it is expected that large delegations from towns for many miles around will be an attendance. Morocco is without a game for Sunday which insurw a huge crowd from that place. the greater part of crowd will be from Newton county Kentland will be the popular favorite, and for this reason every fen from Rensselaer who can possibly do so should foUow the team to the wt of Newton county.

the afternoon. Mr. Collins has a very pretty green sweater coat which is being laundered today for the occasion. Once “Shorty” geta the American flag in his mittens a rainbow will have nothing on him. Word reached here this morning from Kentland that Governor McCray would be present at the game, and that he would make a short address before the starting of hostilities. ' This much of this column is true: Harry Parker’s nsme-. isn’t Harry Parker at all. It’s Harold 'Frederick Parker and we can prove it Some swain arises to remark that it is time for adjournment.
