RENSSELAER 18 DELPHI 0.

Last Saturday’s football game resulted in an easy victory for Rensselaer. The Delphi lads were not snch great big lellows as they were depicted, and averaged somewhat lighter than our boys. They were also under some disadvantage on account of one of their best players having been previously crippled in practice. Still they put up a pretty good game, and especially so after they had gingered up towards the latter end. If they have all their players in good trim and play in their best form next Saturday, on their own grounds, our boys will have to play some to beat them. There was a large and most orderly crowd present, and as for the game itself it was, by universal consent, one of the most fair, gentlemanly and sportsmanlike games ever played in Indiana: Following is the official report.' j Delphi kicked off and secured the ball but failed to advance, kick j ed to 10 yard line, Rensselaer re-1 turned 20 yards, Daniels took ball ' of tackle for 5 yards, Yeoman for 3, I Dobbins then circled the right end : for the prettiest run of the game 35 yards hurdling Delphis defen- ! sive quarter.
