TO BANQUET FOOTBALL TEAM

MEMBERS OF WINNING ELEVEN TO BE FETED THURSDAY EVENING, NEXT WEEK The citizens of Rensselaer and community, desirous of showing their appreciation of the efforts of the members of the Rensselaer independent football team, which closed the season in a blaze of glory with a victory over the strong Morocco eleven, will banquet the team and those connected with it at the Barnes restaurant Thursday evening, December 30. The banquet will be a strictly stag affair, with covers laid for one hundred and twenty. Approximately forty plates will be reserved for the members of the team, the management, the speakers of the evening and those frho are promoting the movement or the placing of a strong team in the’ 4 'field in 1921, which will leave about eighty plates to be distributed among the fans. Tickets for these plates were placed on sale at ten o’clock this Wednesday morning, with the first come, first served, rule prevailing, at the following business houses: College Inn restaurant, Wright Brothers’, the B. F. Fendig drug store and the Lee Myers pool room. The charge will be two dollars per plate, which sum will provide for the forty plates on which no charge will be made. Fansdesirous of attending the banquet should get their tickets early as it is expected that they will be disposed of quickly. Those in charge of the banquet regret that more .fans cannot be accomodated, but quarters prevent a greater attendance. “Paddy” Driscoll, of Chicago, who handled the locals during the final week of the season preparing them for the Morocco game, has be On extended an invitation and will probably be present. Aside from doing homage to the team members, the. banquet will serve serve as a medium for the introducing of the plans by the promoters for the coming season. The embryo designs call for the launching of the game on a far greater scale than was true even in the season just closed, which means, that the city is to become a prominent factor in the football world. Stronger teams will be placed on the 1921 chart and fans are promised some very high class attractions next seaSn. It is also the intention of ose who have the 1921 season in view to employ a well-known football star two days of each week to coach the team. Players will be under contract and compelled to attend practice sessions or suffer a financial penalty. These are only tentative plans, however, and are subject to change, but it is felt that they will, for the most part, be adopted at the banquet table. A manager and team captain win also be elected the evening of the banquet in order that early arrangements may be made for next season. *C The banquet will be served at eight-thirty o’clock and those attending are asked to gather at the Van Rensselaer elub rooms before that hour or be at the banquet hail at the appointed hour.

BRIEF BANQUET BITS FOR BUSY BUGS

The eighty-odd tickets placed on sale this morning are giving way before the clamoring fans like the final quart of prune whiskey at a barn dance. Two smacks will entitle a flapper to view the Barnes preparations at close range. —o— The doors of the pavilion will be thrown open to those with ringside seat at eight-thirty o’clock. —o — The banquet will be served in free-for-all, grab-as-you-can style, with the boarding house reach gentry having a distinct advantage over the less fortunate collection of short ■ arm artists. I Birds with store teeth will not be compelled to battle the steaks, but will be provided with soup and noodles. Noodle hounds are requested to enter the arena first that they may practice their calisthenics before the main bout. E. P. Honan, spike-tailed bennie and all, will be situated at the head of the table and will introduce the sleep producers of the evening. The author has condescended to be Present, which assures that the affair will be a success. Among the lesser lights at the carnival of eats will be ‘Tansy” Ross, who took the bulk of the grief during the 1920 season; C. A. Tuteur, the threeshell artist from Indianapolis, pulling the prodigal son stuff long enough to mooch a brace of free meals; Van R. Grant, the portly gent, who at one time lead the Athletics; Moses Leopold, Coach Parker, Clinton Colver, Charles Blue and son, Asab, Hugh Kirk, W. C. Babcock, whose football enthusiasm caused him to forget to go home for three days; D. S. Makeever, Gerald Hollingsworth, Dry Cleaner Tuteur and others too numerous to mention. The lady bugs are all peeved up over the slight handed them, but 'they can attend the cinemagraph or run their vacuum cleaners during the absence of their loved ones. Mr. Barnes is installing a rest room where the private may recline in peace between innings during the coat tail oratory of the high lights of the evening, while the latter drive one another to distraction with their Webster wallops. Firman Thompson, who to in charge of the banquet, has promised ticket purchasers protection against the glibe tongue of the talkative Mr. Tuteur. That canary will be selling the assembled mackerel chif-fon-lined caskets, tickets to last year’s poultry show and Butler Brothers corsets if they don t watch their step.

COLLEGE CHEER PAYS TRIBUTE TO COACH MOORE

The College Cheer, the St Joseph College students’ publication, indts current issue, pays a tribute to Harry Moore, of this city, who coached the varsity football team of that institution during the season just brought to a close. The tribute follows: “A close of the football season would not be complete neither would it be fair if we failed ip tribute to Coach Moore. To him we give all the praise, unstinted in its glory. To him that has borne the brunt of the battle go the spoils of the victory. The squad of ’2O wss eutely there with the football goods, but ask them what it was that made them work like they did. The inevitable answer will be “The spirit of Moore.” To those who would think we talk vainly, we say. ‘actions speak louder than words* in proving that the past season has been the best in St Joe’s football history. Consider the team teat faced Crane Tech, and teen recall to mind the one that confronted St. Procopius. The results were so different that we scarce would have recognized the team and its work had we not known tee faces of our players. Surely tins change did not evolve of itself. The conclusion is evident It was tee handiwork, “the spirit of Moore.” May our hearts, full of gratitude, be able to express an appreciation of his work, that mere words fail to portray. Coach Moore, our hats off to youl”
