Rensselaer Defeated Wheatfield In Uninteresting Game.

Rensselaier won their opening game of the season at the high school gymnasium last night when they defeated the Wheatfield five 18 to 9.' Wheatfield had the superior weight, but their lack of teamwork was noticeable. The visitors took an early lead, which they maintained almost throughout the entire first half. The half closed with the locals leading 8 to 7, a lead which they never relinquished. The game was slow and uninteresting throughout. A team made up of high school alumni will play the school team on Wednesday evening of next week.
