TRIP UP FRANCESVILLE IN EASY FASHON

The basketball game at the high school gymnasium Wednesday afternoon between Francesville and Rensselaer was merely a romp for the locals, who at no time were forced to extend themselves. The final score was Rensselaer, 49; Francesville, 20. Rensselaer scored baskets almost at will throughout the first half and the second canto was merely a repitition of the first seance. The district tournament is booked for Hammond on Miarch 9 and 10 and by that time Rensselaer hopes to have hit their top most stride. There have been a few surprises the last few weeks in northern Indiana basketball circles and the winner of the tournament is hard to pick.
