Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 November 1898 — Easy for the High School. [ARTICLE]

Easy for the High School.

The Rensselaer High School, easily defeated the foot ball team of St. Joseph’s College, Friday afternoon. The teams were about evenly matched in weight, but the team work of the High School was too much for the College lads, and when time was called the score was 26 to 0 against them. The lads of the High School were fast, and they made some very good runs, they also tackled hard, quarter back Grant excelling in this respect. The team is now trying to arrange a game with Goodland to be played as a curtain riser to the big game, Thanksgiving day. —— ■
