The Rensselaer high school girls’ basketball team defeated the Kentland high school girls’ team Saturday evening, at Warner’s hall in a well played game. The visitors, though somewhat talier, were not as fast as the Rensselaer girls, and not as accurate in passing the ball, Babcock and Peyton, at guards, kept the Kentland forwards from making a single field basket, while Simpson and Robinson, at forwards, made nine field baskets, the former getting six and the latter three. Helen Meader, at center, played a strong game and kept the ball in the visitors’ territory most of the time. Marjorie Lough-, ridge took Helen Meader’s place near the end of the game, ind played well for the brief time she was in. For the visitors, McCain at guard, Hassett and Mclntosh at center and forward, played the best game.,. Before the regular game occurred a “mighty tussle” between Capt. William Babcock's warriors and Capt. Emil Hanley’s braves, ending 17 to 9 in favor of the former. The summary: Kentland Rensselaer Reed right forward Simpson Hassett left forward Robinson Mclntosh center Maader, Louhridge McCain right guard Babcock Reed left guard v Peyton Field baskets, Simpson 6, Robinson 3. Baskets from fouls, Simpson 2, Reed 3. Length of halves, 15 minutes.
