Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 November 1897 — A Thanksgiving Day Game. [ARTICLE]

A Thanksgiving Day Game.

Admirers of foot ball in Rensselaer and vicinity are not to be disappointed in the matter of a game on Thanksgiving Day, after all. Manager Murray has succeeded in arranging for a game on that day, and judging from the previous records of both teams the game will be a corker. The Manhattan Athlectic Club’s team, of Valparaiso has agreed to come down to Rensselaer that day and will take a fall out of our invincible team, or give them one. The Valparaiso boys have played some excellent games

this season, and if they don’t beat our team they ’will probably, come nearer doing it than any other team they have met so far, this season.
