MICHIGAN CITY MANGLED, 48-0

LOCALS CLOSED SEASON WITH AN EASY VICTORY OVER UPSTATE TEAM.

The Michigan City American Legion football team, touted as being among the cream of upstate elevens, was deluged under a shower of touchdowns before a Thanksgiving day gathering at Riverside park Thursday afternoon, the Parkers accumulating 48 points during the frolic while the visitors failed to register. The first touchdown came after a minute and a half of play and thereafter the Red and Black indulged in burlesque in order to amuse the crowd. The visitors looked as if they were playing hookey from a morgue, and their battered condition made them an object of pity with the fans. Although greatly outweighing the locals, they were in no condition for a bruising battle and at no time were they able to stem the well launched attack against them. But to their credit it must be said they never once quit trying and gave all their condition would permit . Rensselaer kicked to Michigan City at the start of the game and the visitors ran the ball back to the thirty-yard mark where they were held for downs and forced to punt On the very first play Collins shot a long forward pass to Phillips who eluded the secondary defense and ran to the visitors’ five-yard mark where he was pulled down by the safety. Babcock line bucked his way to the two-yard mark and Collins added another yard on the following play. Moore smashed through center on the next play for a touchdown and Capt Nowfes booted the goal. From that time on Rensselaer line tore the Michigan City forward wall to bits while the backfield took turns in skirting the ends and smashing the line for long gains. At the end of the initial period Rensselaer was .leading 21 to 0, the result of long runs by Parks, Babcock, Phillips and Nowels. The second period was a repetition of the first and at the end of the half the Parkers were so fagged out from their sprints that the coach made several changes, shifting his lineup until it was beyond recognition. The half closed with Rensselaer leading 41 to 0. Kirk worked at quarterback during the latter part of the game and opened up an assortment of trick plays that the team followers did not know the team possessed. The game rang down the. curtain on Rensselaer football activities for the present year. The season was a great success both financially and in the matter of games won, the record being six games won, one lost and one tied.

CONDITION OBNOXIOUS.

Considerable criticism has been expressed of the local coal dealers. They have been censured an account of the fact that they have not had a sufficient supply of coal and that they are charging too high prices. It has even been reported that one dealer had been fined a thousand dollars for profiteering, but this is not true. The writer has seep the invoices of some of that has been shipped to dealers in this city and we must say that the margin received for this coal was not too large consistent with reasonable business. It is understood that a number of the dealers in the city were anxious to place their coal invoices before the city council for examination. ■ls dealers in order to get coal for their patrons have had to pay a premium they would ,of course, have to make an additional charge for the coal so purchased. We do not want to be put in the position of defending any coal dealer, who has exacted too high a price for coal. It has been the usual rule in this city to charge a dollar per ton profit and this is as low as coal can be sold by business men and remain in business. The dealers of the city has, as a rule, sold coal at same prices as The Farmers Grain Co., and that company has been able to refund the profits to its customers, who are stockholders, the amount being slightly over fifty cents per ton. People have a right to call to i account any one with whom they deal, but the criticism should be, fair and based upon facts. We are not in a position to say that all of the coal dealers ip this city have made the greatest possible effort to get coal, nor are we sufficiently advised to say that all have sold their coal on a reasonable margin, but we do say moat emphatically that we would not at-a-1 A MININGCO.
