Marc Parsons of this city who entered
Knox College is making good on the
varsity football team where he is
playing at half back. Parsons was a
strong player while he was in the local
High school being captain of the '0S
eleven. He is built to stand the work
and knows the game thoroughly, and
there is no reason why he should not
develope into a star. Lawrence Rein
er of Argyle who attended High school
here last term will leave tomorrow for
Galesbnrgs and he too may take try
at the varsity. He played on the team
here while Parsons was captain and
also played last year. The ability to
throw the ball is one of his chief as
sets and he has the weight to make
good. He has not yet decided as to
whether or not he will go out for the
varsity. With these two men and sew
eral others who are already students
at Knox. K'eokuk is we'll represented.
