MOROCCO WENT FLUNK.

Inasmuoh as the Morocoo people boasted that they had beat tbe "Old Athletics" of Rensselaer in the recent game of football here when as a matter of faot folly half of the old team were net here at all, end the abseut half inolnded most of the best players, and as t H e picked up team which did play, had never practiced together a single time it was thought well to get the "Old bunon” together and give Moroooo a ohanoe at beating the rest thing. Things were working well towards that end, and it was expected that the game wnnld take place at Moroooo, next Thursday, Deo. Ist. Arrangements had been made to get home several of the best players, including l Marshall from North Dakota, B *rt Rhoades, fro n Chicago, one of the Saylers, and several others more or less remote. And aiso to get together for a little previous praotioe. Morocoo was asked to pnt np a cat-h bonus, to )9 forfieted if they failed to play, which was only reasonable; but word was received Friday afteraoon that they would not meet the requirements, and the game is necessarily declared off.
