BEAT LOWELL IN A SPIRITED GAME

.Militia Basketball Team Getting in Championship Form—Clark Was a Sure Shot. ”• f Rensselaer’s basketball team got into real championship form Tuesday evening and at Lowell defeated the swift team of that place by the score of 23 to 19. The game was played in the gymnasium erected by the M. E. church, and called the pcastle” of the Knights of the Holy Grail. The Lowell team is managed by Rev. G. Hartman Bright, pastor of the M. E. church at that place. The "young ladies of the church conducted a lunch stand and did a good business on the side, while the receipts at the door considerably more than paid the expenses of the game. The gaipe was remarkable for the taumber of fouls called and also for the fact that it was an extremely clean game. At best, basketball between developed athletes, is a rough game and there are a number of unintentional fouls, but the spirit at Lowell on both sides was one that should be commended for its splendid sportsmanship. Clark was in rare form for throwing foul baskets and be plaeed 16 out of 21 in the ring, but one was disallowed because his foot was over the restraining mark. He also made two field baskets. Duvall made one and Parks one. Kirk did not make a basket but he played a star game, being every place where there was something doing. The team showed better united work than in previous games and with a little improvement in the guard quarters and some long distance basket slinging it will be prepared for the hard schedule which Manager Tuteqr is arranging for ft. Goodland has accepted Jan. Ist as its date for a return game and it is expected that a large crowd will be out to see this game. The Goodland fellow's are a clever bunch of basketball players and put it over the soldiers there last week.
