TIED DELPHI FIVE IN BASKETBALL GAME

Rensselaer High School Held Car- ■ roll Oounty Lads to Eyen Terms Wednesday P. M.

' Rensselaer high school played Delphi to a standstill at the latter town Wednesday afternoon, the game of basketball closing with the Bcore of 16 to 16. The low score is a compliment to the splendid work of the guards on both teams and the forwards were unable to get away for many chances at field kets. Babcock and Swaim played the guard positions for Rensselaer, Healey was at center and Captain Grimm and Will Eigelsbach were forwards. Eigelsbach made three field and six foul baskets and Healey made two field baskets. The treatment; accorded the boys there was all that could be expected and should serve to cement the athletic relations between the high schools; of the two towns. The result is very encouraging to Rensselaer- and puts the team in line for championship honors at the state meet at Bloomington. Kirk is coaching Rensselaer and will be able to make a splendid team If the players will follow his instruction and take the practice bumps. The . militia and the hteh sehool will have a game at the armory one night next week.
