MONTICELLO TO PLAY HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY

Our Old Opponents Will Be Here to Tackle Our Fast Five—S. S. Boys Will Also Play. Monticello high school will be Sere Friday night to tackle our igh school boys in a game of basketball. Last year Monticello defeated us in a hard game, and probably the closest game ever played between the 'high schools of the two towns. Rensselaer has always been compelled to acknowledge the superiority of Monticello as a basketball town, but this year we are feeling different about it and our team is showing the effect of having a splendid gymnasium and the fcgam that will oppose the visitors will probably be the best high school team that the town has ever had and they hope to win this game from their old rivals. A midget game will be held as a curtain raiser, two teams having been selected from the Sunday School league. The teams are as follows: Oapt. Clyde Tilton, Jack Larsh, Willis Wright, Leonard Swartzell and Milton Roth on one team, and Capt. Linn Parkinson, Paul Collins, Fred Speaks, Raymond McKay and Tommy Thompson. This game will be worth the price of admission. Probably a very large crowd will be out to witness the contest and certainly the bill looks attractive.
