Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 November 1901 — Kniman's Big and Burly Boys. [ARTICLE]

Kniman's Big and Burly Boys.

Kniman is coming down next Saturday on a Quixotio attempt to pluok the foot ball laurels from Rensselaer’s blooming but bruised brows. And the contest with these husky huskers from the wilds of Walker may not be as one-sided as at first thought would appear. They weigh down like three year old steers and play lots better foot ball. 175 pounds net, is what they are billed to average, and they have for their head push an ex-star player of the University of Illinois and also another from the Englewood or some other high school team.
