CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED

RENSSELAER TO MEET MOROCCO NEXT SUNDAY'—DRISCOLL TO HANDLE LOCALS o ■ There was intense excitement on the Rensselaer football rialto Sunday afternoon when Manager C. A. Ross and Hugh Kirk of the Rensselaer Independent football team returned from Morocco with the word that arrangements had been completed with the Morocco management for a post-season game at that place next Sunday to determine the football supremacy of the two towns. It is the game the fans have been waiting for for many weeks and it is expected the crowd will shatter all football attendance records in this section of Indiana when the teams take to the playing field, due to the bitter rivalry that exists between Rensselaer and Morocco. The actiqn taken yesterday follows the public challenge issued by the Morocco management about a week ago at which time they named Morocco, Kentland or Brook as the fighting ground. Manager Ross and Mr. Kirk decided to meet the foe in his own lair since Rensselaer owed the Newton county town a game, the latter having played here last year. Word had gone out that Rensselaer was afraid to meet the Mori>cco team, and it was for this reason that Manager Ross decided to go to Morocco to settle the issue. The contract drawn up between the team managers calls for all home players, and the certified lists are already in the safety vault. A violation of this agreement calls for a SI,OOO forfeit on the part of the offending team. The game will be played on the basis of sixty per cent to the winner and forty per cent the loser. Walter Eckersall, football authority of the west, at present a sporting writer on the Chicago Tribune, and for three years All-American quarterback, as a member of the Chicago University team, will refer-, ee the game, and his presence on the field will, almost be as great a drawing card as the game itself. “Pady” Driscoll arrived this Monday afternoon from his home in Chicago to take charge of the local squad for the remainder of the week, and it is expected that under his direction the team will be a one hundred per cent stronger one than any that has taken the field under the Rensselaer colors this year. Driscoll is one of the greatest players ever produced in the middle west and is recognized as the leading player in the Chicago semi-pro field this year. As a member of the Northwestern university team he was selected as an AllAmerican backfield man for two successive years. He has a head full of football brains and during the next six days should be able to develop the locals to such a degree that the chirps of the Morocco eleven will be forever stilled. Workouts will be held every afternoon at Riverside park between now and Sunday. •

SATURDAY CIRCUIT COURT NOTES

WILL INSTALL $10,000 ORGAN

ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE TO HAVE ONE OF THE LATEST PIPE ORGANS. What will very likely be the finest Pipe-Organ in Northwestern Indiana will soon be installed in the St. Joseph’s College Chapel. «Friends Of the institution have donated the sum of approximately $10,000.00 for this purpose, and it is hoped that the additional $3,000.00 necessary to cover the expense of the installation will be raised. The organ will be built in accordance to the most modern plans of organ builders as recommended by Hope-Jones, Audsley, Clarke, and others. Twq spacious chambers, 14x13x20 feet high are being erected in the choir loft to receive the mechanism and pipes. There will be three manuals and a pedal. The instrument will be divided into four expression divisions—a Great, a Swell, the Choir and the Pedal. The Great will have six registers; the Swell, seven; the Choir, five, and the Pedal, six, making a total of twenty-four registers. Only one of these will bd a duplication in phrt. There is to be eightteen couplers and twelve combination pistons. The entire organ will have electric action. The instrument will differ in many respects, from the organs of the past in so far as .all registers will be under expression and subject to diminuendo and crescendo. None of the pipes will be visible. * The designers have included an exceptional pedal division, the part of the organ which is requently lacking in power/ or sacrificed’ to fa larger number of stops*. By including these two features, the organ will respond to almost exhaustldss number of combinations, and Bplandid>>nuances, inasmuch as it approaches the productions of a well apportioned orCh The* contract for the construction of the organ has been awarded to the Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling Organ Company of Cleveland, Ohio, after a full year of study of the various makes by a committee.. This company has built some remarkably fine organs, which they have placed in the city of Cleveland, some of them being in the best of that city s churches and theatres, among them the $40,000.00 organ at Euclid Ave. Methodist Episcopal Church, and ,the fine East-End Baptist church. . The organ will' probably, be open for an opening concert some time in March or April..

ATTENDED STATE FIRE COLLEGE MEETING

J. J. Montgomery returned from Indianapolis Saturday . evening where-he had attended the six days meeting of the state fire college which was held at. the, state f ai * grounds. There were two hundred fire chiefs from Indiana present at the meeting in addition to several of the best known fire fighting authorities from various parts of the United States. Commodore Longfellow, recognised as the peer of all fire fighters; Leon Wolfe, of Cincinnati, a fire fan. State Fire Marshal Friedley, of Indiana; and State Fire Marshal Fleming, of Ohio, were among the notables pressent. Joseph F. Joseph and Mr. Townsend of the National Underwriters were plso in attendance and gave addresses, giving statistics on the fire losses each year. They stated that the fire loss in the United States amounted to $2,000,000 daily and that in 1919 tHe loss of life by fire totalled 23,000. Ninety per--cent of this toll could have been prevented according to their statements. . .

A session of* the Indiana State Fire Congress was held daily, commencing at ten o’clock and continuing throughout the remainder of the day. These sessions proved very, beneficial and instructive, to the firemen and should tend to reduce the fire loss in the state the coming year. * Leon Wolfe gave- an exhibition of fire fighting Saturday afternoon with fourteen members of an Indianapolis fire departmfent and a stream of water was placed on the roof of the Lincoln hotel in a period of forty-seven seconds. Another interesting feature of the weeks meetings was the Red Cross, or mut aid work, instruction. .Various other phases of fire fighting were among the day s exercises engaged in and proved a pleasant feature of the • a Chief Montgoinery was delighted with the work and believes that a great deal of good will be derived by the fire chidfs of the state. It is his intention as soon* as the new fire department building is eompleted to teach the members of his company some bf the lessons taught him at’the Indianapolis session, and also to co-operate with the school faculty in giving fire instruction in the public schools. , Howard M. Mills and daughter, Dorothy Jane went to Chicago Sunday for a visit with Mrs. Mills, who is at the Hahnemann hospital, where she recently underwent /an operation.
