R. H. S. Basket Ball Team Defeats Brookston 30-10.

The high school basket ball team sustained the red and black athletic reputation last night when they defeated Brookston 30-10 at the armory. Brookston has been playing close to the top Ih the list of White county teams and has defeated the strong Monticello team and played close games with West Lafayette and Mulberry. The visitors drew first blood but were never dangerous as the ball was in Rensselaer’s possession most of the time. Porter and Robinson, although at times unable to hit the basket, played a fine passing game. Miller at forward and Sage at guard covered the whole floor and Adams playing back at guard seldom failed to shoot the ball out of the danger zone; Hamilton and Padgitt had hardly time to warm up but showed ability. Following is Che line up: Rensselaer H. S. Brookston H. S. Robinson/Tapt R. F. Allen. Miller, Porter L- F. Van Camp. Porter, Hamilton C. McClean. Adams, Padgitt R. G. J. Woods. Sage L. G. Bailey.
