TOSSERS SHOW REVERSAL LOWELL BUMPED

After succumbing to defeat at the hands of the Lowell quintette a few weeks ago, Rensselaer high school showed a form reversal Friday night and as a result edged out a narrow victory over the Lake county five by a score of 17 to 15. The game was close and hard fought throughout and during the entire performance the teams were neck and neck. Every member of the Rensselaer five put up a classy exhibition and the followers of the locals are much encouraged over last night’s victory, as Lowell has been cutting quite a swath in basket circles of late, having defeated Hammand a short time ago.
