Calls Our High School Basketball Team “Rough Necks.”

Remington - Press. The Remington basketball team played with Rensselaer Friday night but tost the game by one score, the tally being 17 to 16. The boys put up a stout fight but the tactics of the opposing team, Which are said to have been of a very unsportsmanlike order, threw the game to them. This game, when contrasted with the nice clean playing put up by the Fowler team at their recent game here fails by the comparison. Our boys play a clean game in every way and there is no excuse for others doing anything else. Roughneck tactics never win for the users why thing but the utter contempt of all who enjoy sport for sport’s sake.
