Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1900 — Rensselaer 36, Brook Just Nix, [ARTICLE]

Rensselaer 36, Brook Just Nix,

There was a good attendance at the Rensselaer-Brook foot ball game here, Thursday afternoon, showing that popular interest in the game promises to show no diminution, this year. The game also showed that our celebrated foot ball team is in as evidently good shape as ever to play winning games. The Brook boys put up a pretty good game but, of course, they had no chance nor expectation of winning, nor scarcely of scoring, against the Rensselaer athletes. The game resulted in 36 points for Rensselaer and none for Brook. The Reneselaers made a touchdown in every inning The next game will be Saturday, Oct. 18th, with the Rush Medics, from Chicago, and our boys will be up to the real thing, then.
