KIRKS LOST 3RD STRAIGHT GAME; 27 TO 20

The Rensselaer independent basketball five lost their third straight game of the season at the armory Thursday night to Lowell before a fair sized crowd in a game that smacked with roughness throughout The final score favored the northenders 27 to* 20 with Rensselaer coming fast toward the close. The opening period found Lowell leading 14 to 10, after Rensselaer had led the greater part of the time. , - Rensselaer took the lead in the Opening period when Kirk dropped one in from a difficult angle. Lowell tied the count on a field goal and forged to the front on a free cast which was followed a moment later with another via the field route. Clark then tossed one in for the home five and a short time later followed with another. Kirk followed with a field goal and Rensselaer took the lead and held it Until near the dose when three Lowell baskets left them trailing. Lowell showed fatigue in the second half and Captain Kirk then ilaced some new blood in his lineip with the result that Rensselaer tarted a rally which was only checked by the timekeeper’s whis.le. - £ Captain Kirk, Babcock and Nowjls were in the limelight for Rensselaer, and Petrie led his mates for LowelL । -zX" Goodland will be the next attraction at the armory, coming here January 23rd.

NOTES FROM THE ARMORY

First let us thank the kind people who paid out real money for such a counterfeit game. . We recognized you all .and want you to come back. Next admission will only be two-bits. Lack of pass work kept Rensselaer continuously on the defensive. Kirk called the hearse too late. Earlier substitutions could have save the game. Phegly, Babcotek’s understudy, was not used simply because it looked risky to yank “Jimmie.” As usual “Jimmie" was half the defense and Clark was half the offense. Three others to work with this pair would make a B. B. T. All in all the whole gang is improving and may be mile to win some games soon. Goodland here the 23rd.
