High School Loses in Close Game at Delphi.

The first team of the Rensselaer high school was defeated at Delphi Friday evening, while the second team was getting trounced at Monon. The representative team lost to the Carrol lites 22 to 15. The game was fast and close throughout and at no stage could the final victor be determined. A strange floor was about the only cause of the defeat of Rensselaer. The locals showed much better in this gdme. Their passing was good and their basket shooting much im.proved. The all round play and team work was the best they have displayed’ in any game this year and they seem slowly but surely improving and although the present season cannot be counted a success, the steady improvement of the young squad makes the future look 'brighter.
