Monticello High School Plays Great Game of Basketball.

Rensselaer high school has a hard basketball proposition for Friday night when the team will go to Monticello to play the crack high school team of that place. The Monticello team has lost only two games out of fifteen played and they have been playing the best high school teams of the state. The Rensselaer team has played but two games this year, both on their own court, but they have won so handily and their forwards and guards are proving such splendid support to Charley Porter, the center, that they may be counted on to make a fine showing. The feat of holding th? North Judson team free - from field goals is not often equaled and shows the splendid work of the guards, Sage and Adams. They will go into the Monticello game with a determination to win and will put all the ginger they possess into the contest'Monticello can therefore count on a game worth seeing. Next week they will play at Delphi and on Feb. 9th« will play In Rensselaer with Monticello, the game taking place at the Armory at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. That hour was chosen because the armory is rented for a dance in the evening. It is believed, however, that the time will prove a drawing card and that a large number will turn out to see the game who would not go in the evening. ..
