SOLDIERS TOO FAST FOR DELPHI TEAM

Visiting Quintette Fast But Not Able to Do Much With Militiamen—Score 50 to 22.

The Delphi basketball team proved to be the best team that has been on the floor against the soldiers yet this year, but they could not stop the soldiers, who defeated them by the decisive score of 50 to 22. In the second half of the unequal contest Delphi made only one field basket. Delphi started off |n the lead after Rensselaer had made one basket, and the score stood 9 to 6 in: their favor for a short time and then the soldiers got to working good and Kirk, Clark and Morgan shot a number of difficult baskets. The visitors were apparently greatly surprised-at being beaten sO‘badly,’ as they had been playing with even breaks with many excellent teams.
