One of the Lafayette papers mad a the statement, after last H>a‘. urday’s game of football that the Rensselaer team worked in some of our old town team players. The charge was entirely unjust, as the Rensse’aer team was strictly and honorably a high school team, composed only of actual, preseat high school student?, ana in good standing in the sohool. And so also will be the case in all the games they play. The Oak Wood High Sohool team will come to town on the 7:30 train to-morrow morning. The homo team is being weakened scmswaat by the irregularity in practice of some of the players. If the weather is favorable there will probably be a crowd at the Park tom snow.

B£ The result of this game is looked to with interest as it will tell something of our strength as compared with Monticello, and Drawafordvlll?, both of which teams Oak Wood has played to a tie
