BROOK AND LOCALS COLLIDE TONIGHT; FANS READY

Brook high school will be here this evening for a clash with the local five at the high school gymnasium in the second meeting of the season between the two quintets. The game is ooked forward to by the fans with more interest than any other battle heretofore waged. Keen rivalry exsts between the fives and the local ads are confident that they can regain their lost prestige by whipping the Newton county five. It will be remembered that Rensselaer was defeated on the Brook court two weeks ago by a ten-point margin in a rough game. Since that time Brook has met with a pair of up-sets and the locals were also turned back in the only game they have .played since that time. — • Considerable ill-feeling exists between the two clubs but it is hoped that no unsportsman-like tactics are pursued by either team tonight. No dotfbt a capacity house will greet the teams and the fans want to see clean, fast, aggressive basketball.
