LOWELL PROVES EASY FOR RENSSELAER H. S.

Lake County Lads Swamped Beneath 46 to 14 Score—Eigelsbach Was the Star of Game. William Eigelsbach, the midget forward of the Rensselaer high school, won the title of “Dead Shot Bill”' in the basketball game with Lowell Friday night. With unerring accuracy he shot ten of the field baskets for Rensselaer, many of them from the most difficult angles. The Lowel boys proved no match for our swift Kirk-coached quintette and after the first few moments of play it was demonstrated that Lowell was doomed to receive a bad beating. Aside from Dahl, the 6 foot, 7 inch center, the Rensselaer boys were larger than their opponents and they seemed in much better physical training and the visitors were worn out and unable to keep up the fast pace at which the locals were traveling.

The first half closed with the score 18 to 6 in favor of Rensselaer and the second half brought the score up to 46 to 14. The game was fast and'hard but there was not an unsportsmanlike occurrence The game was admirably officialed by Fitzgerald* of St. Joe, who got over the court like a flash and whose rulings were impatrial in all instances. ’ •

Summary: Field goals, Eigelsbach 10, Healey 7, Groom 4, Hanley 1, Weaver 1, Sisson 3, Dahl 1; foul throws, Weaver 4 out of 6; Eigdsbach 2 out of 5; Healey 0 out of 3.
