DEFEATED ROSSVILLE BY 33-26 SCORE

High School Finished Strong and Won Game—Best Basketball ' Contest Ever Seen Here. .J, “ • ' The strong Rossville team was defeated here Saturday night in the most spectacular basketball contest ever witnessed in this city. By this victory Rensselaer has put itself into a class that Should make it a contender for state championship honors when the 75 high school teams meet Friday and Sat- : u relay of this week at the state university at Bloomington. Rossville was working at some disadvantage, to be sure, for it was on "a strange floor and had played a hard game at MOmticello the night before, but Rensselaer-played a spirited contest that would have been effective even had the visitors been in thie very best of trim. Stage flight probably held the home team down the first half, which ended 19 to 14 in favor of the visitors, but in the second half the locals set a pace that had never been seen here and which it is believed stamp® Captain Groom and his team as one of the very best high school organizations in Indiana. During the last half the visitors made only J points, while the home lads scored 19, making the Anal score 33 for Rensselaer to 26 for Rossville. L Captain Groom was the real star of the contest. He was in the thickest of the fray from start to finish, playing more than half the game with a broken bone in his foot and the last ten minutes after he had been pushed against the wall and suffered bruises that delayed the game for several minutes. Buit these injuries did not deter him and he was going like a whirlwind when the whistle closed the game. His work was an incentive to Eigelisbaoh, Healey, Hanley and Babcock and there was never a time when these men were not in the play with all they had to offer and that is a, lot for they have trained consistently for strength, speed, wind and science. Healey had the big end of the field baskets to his credit, getting 8 out of the 13 which Rensselaer secured. *Eigel!fbadh made the first basket and starred the crowd’s enthusiasm, for it was a quck shot from a hard angle. Groom made two difficult baskets that require rapid Shooting. Banley demonstrated rare ability for cool playing and artful dodging and his work in intercepting the ball and returning it to our forwards was instrumental in the result. Jimmie Babcock proved a great star at the guard position and was always equal to any task. He plays fast, determined basketball and has the very best endurance. 'Bowen, the big center for the visitors, is a graceful, and bard working player, and as clean an athlete as ever played in this city. He fell down on the foul baskets, however, and made only four out of a possible dozen. Deeds, the toeheaded forward, was a great player and his aggressive play was rougher than Rensselaer is accustomed to, and some apparent roughness on' his part was probably not intentional, but several fouls were called against him. He was a splendid player and is a big factor in his team. The game was admirably refereed by Stahl, ol Purdue, a member of this year’s Purdue team. Line-up: Rossville Rensselaer Short f Eigelsbach Deeds f Groom Bowen c Healey Metzger g Hanley

Rebekahs Give Double Shower to the Newlyweds.

Mrs. Thos. J. Hoyes and Mrs. Burley Harrod and husbands were the central figures in a neatly planned and executed miscellaneous shower at the I. O. O. F. hall last Friday evening. The couples are the most recent newlyweds in the Rebekah lodge, to Which the brides, who were formerly Miss Florence Moore and. Miss Lucy Morganegg, belonged, and of which Miss Moore, now Mrs. Hoyes, is the Noble Grand. After the regular session of the lodge Friday evening the members went to the banquet room, leaving the newlyweds behind. A few moments later, however, they were ushered to the banquet room by Miss Pearl Comer, the Vice Grand, and Mis® Agnes Platt, while Job Overton, Art Bafctleday and George E. Collins carried two clothes baskets filled with presents. The guests of honor were seated in the center of the room, surrounded by the other members and the baskets presented to them. Every package was tied in white paper with baby ribbon. The members pas.-' around and offered their congratulations and best wishes and then followed, serving of refreshments. The presents were numerous and of a great variety and the occasion proved a very pleasant one socially.
