Monticello Basketball Team Here Friday Afternoon.

A real basketball team is going to play Rensselaer Friday afternoon. It is the team of the Monticello high school. We say “real” because the team has been winning about all of its games and winning them so decidedly as to put Monticello in the running for big honors. Last Saturday night Delphi was the opposing team and when the final tally was totaled up Monticello had 55 and Delphi had a poor little 7. Our boys are going at a mighty encouraging clip. We got a late start on account of football but we are now going in 12-cylinder fashion and the game with the White county boys promises to be a contest worth witnessing. The game is held in the afternoon because the senior reception to the juniors is held in the evening.
