B Babcock The undefeated Michigan City American Legion football team will oppose Renselaer Thanksgiving, “home coming” day, in the season’s final offering in Rensselaer football circles and the fans are eagerly looking forward to the fray, as the outcome will have an important bearing on the respective claims of the teams to the independent title of northern Indiana. But one tekm will stand in the way to contest the claim, of the winning team—the Gary Elks, another undefeated team, in independent circles. The Elks are laying a strong claim to the state title and it is more than probable that the winner of tomorrow’s game at Riverside will meet the Steel City club in a post-season game to decide the championship. Michigan City is said to possess a great amount of bulk, averaging 180 pounds per man against Rensselaet’s 170 pounds, which means that the pupils of Coach Parker will have to depend upon their speed and overhead play for their gains rather than line smashing. The local squad is in fair condition after their hard game at Kentland last Sunday and with the possible exception of Moore will be prepared to present the same lineup that started against Kentland.
