Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 December 1901 — A FOOTBALL ECHO. [ARTICLE]

A FOOTBALL ECHO.

A South Bend' dispatch to the sporting columns of Saturday’s Cincinnati Enquirer, says: Wisconsin denies that Pat O’Dea has been invited to return there to coach to succeed King, but just the same the proposition has been seen by friends of O’Dea. O’Dea is laid up with a broken shoulder bone, received in the South Bend Atheletic Association game st Rensselaer, which resulted 0 to 0. Special police clubbed O'Dea. and the other players pounded and kicked him, in an effort to get him out of the game. Delphi offereds2oo and the entire gate receipts for another game between the two teams, and South Bend has accepted. with a side bet of anything up to #l,000. O'Dea says he will play, in spite of his injury. Inquiry here regarding the above game resulted in the statement that there is nothing in the story that it will be played. There was some talk about it but it is all off now.
