Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1902 — The Rensselaer High School Foot Ball Team. [ARTICLE]

The Rensselaer High School Foot Ball Team.

In the High School team, the town and school have a team of which we may all be proud. While Hot possessing the strength and weight of the team three years ago, and laboring under the disadvantage of raw material, and a very heavy schedule, the team has played some really scientific foot ball. The two games that I have een vfere full of spectacular plays, the kind that a spectator likes. The 90 yard run of Gwin’s in Saturday’s game against West Lafayette is a thing that rarely occurs in a foot ball game. To my knowledge, a run of equal length has only occurred once or twice before in the history of American foot ball. Six years ago Poe of Princeton did the same jibing, giving him a great name in foot ball. Too much credit cannot be given to Gwin for this brilliant run. The High School has three more games on its schedule, among which is a game with Highland Park on the 22nd. Highland Park, under the able coaching of Albert Marshall should be able to play a wonderful game and to furnish our boys one of the hardest arguments of the year. Spectator.
