TIS A BASE FALSEHOOD.

The Republican Says There Was Little or No Betting on Football Game. The Republican states that the report that Rensselaer sports lost considerable money on the RensselaerPine Village football game at Morocco last Wednesday is a base fabrication. It says there was perhaps a dollar or two bet here and there, but that was all. With the well known attitude of the editors of the republican toward anything that savors of gambling in any way, we must accept its statement in this matter of facts. Had it been otherwise, of course, the Republican 'wo'uld have said so, and vigorously condemned this alleged feature of the game.
