Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 January 1917 — Met With Another Defeat Friday Night. [ARTICLE]

Met With Another Defeat Friday Night.

The local high school basket ball five met with their second straight defeat at the high school gym Friday evening. The Reynolds five, coming here unheralded, surprised the locals as their backers and when the final whistle had been blown it was found that the White county quintette was setting 1 the pace. • Reynolds scored twenty-six times, while Rensselaer was only netting the ball for eighteen points. At the end of the first half the visitors were leading by a single point, having registered 12 ait this time. W. Heimlich, of Reynolds, was the leading point getter for his team, scoring five times from the field. Hemphill, of Rensselaer, was the principal point getter of the local five. The work of the Rensselaer five this season has been very poor. Of course the team is new, buit there seems to be a lot of latent ability in the personnel of the team if it was properly brought out. Ac ording to one of the faculty members, their one faring fault is the lack of team nlay It seems to be the desire of some to play only for the plaudits of their followers, and until this is overcome, Rensselaer cannot hope to have a winning basketball five.
