High School Defeated Delphi 28 to 24 at Basketball.

Rensselaer is just getting right in basketball and in a well played game Friday night defeated Delphi by the score of 28 to 24. At the end of the first half the score stood 11 to 10 in favor .of the visitors, but this lead was overcome in the second half. The Rensselaer forwards ran up against a couple of unusually clever guards in Julian and McCain, and Parks only succeeded in making 2. ;baskets during the game, white Robinson succeeded in making but 1. Porter at center, however, shot eight field goals and ,his good work was responsible for the long end of the score. The field work was better than at any other time during the season and the boys will doubtless make a 'good account of themselves in the games yet to play, which will be with CK>wn Point and Sheldon. The attendance was small, not nearly what was expected and it is hoped to get out a much larger crowd when Crown Point plays here. The teams lined up Friday night as follows: Delphi Rensselaer Craig rs Parks Mount If Robinson, Miller Baughman c Porter Julian rg Pagitt, Robinson McCain lg Sage Summary—Time of halves, 20-20. Field goals—Craig 2, Mount 2, Baughman 3, Julian 1; Parks 2, Robinson 1, Porter 8, Sage 1. Foul throws—Moulit 8 out of 14; Porter 4 out of 12. Officials—Dean and Grimm.
