QUINTETTE PLAYING RETURN WITH LOWELL

Capt Groom and His Sturdy Athletes Go to North Town to Play Game of Basketball.

Captain Kenneth Groom and his high school ’basketball team, composed of Eigelsbach, Healey, Hanley and Jimmie Babcock, went to Lowell this afternoon to play a return game with the high school of that town. The Lowell lads were given a 46-14 trimming here Friday evening of last week and it is expected that our lads will be able to defeat them on the Lowell court. Unless other arrangements are made this will conclude the games for the locals. Roasville, south of Delphi, has the prize team in that part of the state and Ross Q. Hufford, of Agent Beam’s depot force, who hails from Rossville, is of the opinion that Rossville can make a cleaning on Rensselaer right in our high school gymnasium. This is disputed by the local players and it is possible the Rossville lads can be brought here for a game. It would bring out a large Crowd if they would consent to come. The state meet takes place at Bloomington March 13 and 14 and the basketball five expects to go there to play in one or more games.
