Rensselaer High School Girls Won First Gaine With Wheatfield.

A good sized audience was in attendance at the girls’ basketball game splayed in the W’heatfleld opera house Friday evening. The contestants were the teams of the Wheatfield and Rensselaer high schools, and !he game was a very interesting one, resulting in the score of 8. to 4 in favor of the Rensselaer quintette. The game was preceded by a curtain" raiser, in which the Wheatfield high school team put it over a town, team in an easy manner. The treatment accorded the Rensselaer team, which was accompanied by Prof. Bradshaw and Miss Keifer, was the very best and the praise of the Wheatfield hospitality is very high. Morgan Sterrett, a few “years ago a teacher in the Rensselaer schools, is the superintendent of the Wheatfield schools. The receipts were sufficient to pay all the expenses of the game and leave a •balance for Wheatfield. A return game to be played here is being planned.
