RENSSELAER 66; REYNOLDS 20

The Rensselaer basket bill team is fast developing intd.a great quintet, as could plainly be seen by the way they defeated the Reynolds high school in the gym here last night before a large crowd of high school students and local supporters of the team. From the very start the Rensselaer lads took the ball and played it at their end of the floor continually for twelve minutes of the game, hence it was not until the middle of the first half that the ball went through the ring of the Reynolds basket. Every player of the local five played a star game and made at least one basket. The great team-work displayed by Capt. Lee Collins, Paul Collins, Phegley, Babcock and Tilton was certainly worthy of special mention. The local lads will meet Kentland here next Friday evening, and another interesting game is expected.
