Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 December 1902 — Remington Says “Robbed.” [ARTICLE]

Remington Says “Robbed.”

The Remington Press gives its account of the Remington-Wolcott foot ball war on Thanksgiving Day, under the word "Robbed'’ in great big blaok lettere. The story it gives is essentially different from the wild and Wolcotty side j of the affair whioh drifted baok i here. If the Remington story of the affair is correct, then the Wolcott fellows committed bnrglary, highway robbery, grand laroeny, plain stealing, aud arson all at once. The Press says for one thing, that Wolcott never made a touchdown. That Wolcott lost the ball ©n a fumble, three yards from the line, and Riley of Remington fell on the ball and hang to it, and still has it in his possession, and is willing to swear that at no time was it over the line. It also says Pete Oohs, the referee, is a Wolcott player, and lastly declares that Woloott held out on them in the matter of gate receipts. On the other band the Wolcott Enterprise says the j?nme was fairly won, that the referee decided righteonsly; and that Remington kioked out two Rensselaer men for referee and would have no one but Oohs. ’
