Has-Beens Got Drubbed At Lowell By Score of 34 to 14.

A bunch of misfits, has-beens and traveling under the nom de plume of the representative basket ball team of this city, went to Lowell Thursday evening to get the train ride and to meet the team of that city. Herbert Hammond captained the team and as a basket ball player he is some county auditor. The Lowellites „ won off b themselves and during the first half the Rensselaer five failed to connect for a single marker, while the Lake county crew was annexing 18 points. During the second period the locals braced a little when their opponents tired out and managed to finish the game with the score 34 to to 14 against them.
