letter to The Republican. Coach w. D.
Mead of the Hammond high school
football team has the following to say
relative to the game last Saturday,
and what ne thinks Of the Rensselaer,
team:
Il want to send a little word of the
sentiment established in Hammond re-
garding the ability of the Rensselaer,
team which came to our city to play
our high school eleven last Saturday
before a crowd OF 500 people. The
game was the best put up of any visit
ing team here this season. Hammond
had expected to equal al least the score
of the Hammond-East Chicago game
of two weeks ago when the East Chi
cago team was defeated by score of
10 to T. Rensselaer's strong defensive
playing made 1t hard task for Ham
mond to get what she did. although
the offensive of the visiting team lack
ed the punch to make her dangerous
at any time in last Saturdays game.
The game was true1y a football game
from start to finish and was played if
in record time.

published in our local paper last week.

The high school football situation
at this late hour in November has mar
rowed down to the old question Of
supremacy in Lake county, matter
generally decided much earlier either
by actual contest or through the
superior showing Of one of the three
teams.
This season Hammond. Gary and
East Chicago have teams more equal
one to the other than usual. True,
East Chicago has been eliminated by
Hammond and Is out Of the running
but it was only after a game that did
credit to the Twin City.

Death followed an operation a week
ago. Mrs. Gaynor's illness had ex-

steady conva1escence after the sur
gical operation had forecast a COM
pIete recovery.
During the night Mrs. Gaynor suf-
fered turn for the worse. A rapid
sinking spell resulted in her death
early this morning. Her husband, who

during her illness. was at her bedside
when the end came.

two years. Mrs. Gaynor also leaves
a. brother, Lawrence Vincent Cremin,
who resided at the Gaynor home at
1928 North avenue.
A loving wife and mother, Mrs. Gay
nor found utmost happiness in the
home circle. Her devotion to her
young sons was more than marked,
and their happiness was her constant
care. Her personal charm and ster1-
ing traits of Christian womanhood had
endeared her to many whose sympa-
