Our High School Beaten by Monticello in Very Rough Game.

The local high school basketball team again showed their strength Frioay night when they held Monticello high school to a 15-20 score, the Left score made against them by Rensselaer ih years. Although defeated, the close score shows Rensselaer to be a class with the beit of White county teams. The game was played on the two-by-four Monticello opera house stage, a condition which madej any kind of team work impossible. The Monticello team outweighed our team to the man and their playing was of the football variety, Montlce’.lo plays a return game at the Armory Feb. 9th and our boys have every reason to .expect victory on their own floor.
