ASKS THAT RENSSELAER WRITE OWN /TICKET—NOW UP TO THE LOCALS. A carbon copy of a letter written to Manager C. A. Ross of the Rensselaer football team by the Morocco Athletic Association Tuesday was received by the Republican this Wednesday morning. Rensselaer has been asked to write her own ticket by the Morocco management. The .letter is fair in every way, and it is now up to Rensselaer to accept ' the challenge or acknowledge Morocco as being her 1920 football superior. The letter follows: Morocco, Indiana, November 30, 1920 To C. A. Ross, Mgr. of the RensseHer Athletic Football Association. • ' My Dear Sir:— We would like to have a game of , football with your team before the *eason of 1920 is over, and in order that we may get together on a game, I submit the following: We will play your team at Morocco, Kentland or Brook, whichever place you. prefer, on *a date to be designated by you. We will play you and divide the gate receipts fifty-fifty or the winner take 60% the loser 40% or we will play you and the winner take all the gate receipts. We will play you and you may select any team you want to play and we will do the same or we will play you and certify the names of the players and put up a forfeit that no one plays that is not, named and yoii do likewise, and should either team put a man in the game who is not.named he loses the forfeit. I would be very glad indeed if you should see your way clear to accept one of the propositions named and name an early date that we cotfld play this game. The reason we . are anxious to play is because we know that you have a good team. We think .our team can beat you, therefore we would like to schedule this game with you. Please advise me by return mail if this proposition meets your approval.

Very truly yours, MOROCCO ATHLETIC ■ , FOOTBALL ASS’N. By Ross B. Hagen, Manager Alex Cassel, Assistant Mgr.
