Rensselaer Receives Pummelling By West Lafayette Team.

Whatever championship aspirations the local high school quintette may have had were given a rude jolt Friday “evening. The West Lafayette high school team were the jolters, downing the local five bv a score of 48 to 15. . The West Siders were a seasoned lot of veterans and were opposed to a team of raw material, made up practically of underclassmen who need ? a season or two in which to develop: The game was one-sided from start, to finish and the boys from Tippecanoe rolled up 20 points before the ‘ball was netted by a local player. The West Siders showed the result of being familiar with another s style of play. Most of their baskets were caged from beneath the basket, not having to resort to long shots. The score at the end-of the first half was 28 to 2. . ■—— The'local’s work was a little more polished in the last half and they managed to score thirteen points while their opponents were ringing up twenty. Morehouse and Sammons were the worst offenders for the visitors, from a local viewpoint, the two of them’ getting a total of thirty-six points. Hemphill, of the locals, led his mates in scoring with four field goals and a brace of free throws. Lineup and summary: West Side Pos. Rens iSammons RF Hemphill Seam on LF Colhns Morehouse C ■ .
