AS REPORTED IN HAMMOND

Hammond Daily News; At Rensselaer the High School of that place simply swallowed up the local high school foot ball team. It was a case of slaughter of the innocents. The Rensselaer eleven averaged 20 pounds per mm heavier than Hammond. Little Elliott and Hanson of Hammond weighing 110 and 120 pounds respectively were up against boys who weighed 160 pounds. Little Elliott was playing end and would sail into bis heavy opponent like a fiend and might have but tad against a stone will for all the good it did; then he would shale his head and say, “I cant get him.” It was touch down after touch down with Renaselae*. getting 41 points in the first half. The local boys were pretty well used up and won’t forget the Jaspers in a hurry
