Rensselaer and St. Joe Teams Badly Beaten Friday Sight.

| The Rensselaer high school and the St. Joseph college basketball teams each got terrible. drubbings Friday night The Rensselaer lads went to Lafayette and met the high school team of that place and were beaten by the score of 39 to 8. The Lafayette Journal claims that this victory gives the team of that city undisputabie championship honors for high school teams in this section of the state. Rensselaer got but one field basket. The Journal says of the game: Rensselaer was swept completely off its feet by the wonderful burst of speed and the entire team work of the Lafayette quintet Never before did the high school team handle the ball so perfectly, execute plays so accurately as the local team did last night. £-■ Like clockwork the ball was tossed up by the referee, was passed across the floor, sent twirling through the air towards the goal and dropped into, the basket. Rensselaer seemed absolutely unable to solve the play of their adversaries.- -•> . - _ ; At Monticello St. Joe fared equally bad, being beaten by the swift militia team of that city by the score of 40 W' -

Mr. Mansfield, who is quite a heavy land owner, put a very forceable argument against the proposed scheme and which may have considerable weight on the final outcome. Practically no one seems to be apposed to the building of the road, but paying the freight before and after does not suit them.
