SCHAUPP’S NETSHAKERS ANNEX 33 TO 13 VICTORY

In a game which lagged throughout and which was utterly devoid of the sensational, Rensselaer annexed a victory over the Wolcott five Friday night in what was the most listess affair of the season. Wolcott was hurriedly substituted to take the place of the Chalmers team which was prevented from filling their date on account of the prevalence of small pox in that town. The final score was 33 to 18, and the first period closed with Rensselaer in the lead 11 to 10. The Wolcott lads are a sturdy set and gave the home five all kind of trouble in the opening session and presented a 'hard rough attack which kept them on a par with the Red and Black throughout the first twenty minutes of play. In the second half Tilton and Crooks were injected into the fray and the former took his mates from the danger zone in a hurry scoring 14 points during the time he was in the game. Both teams displayed poor pass work and when Wolcott began to drop behind they resorted to football tactics which availed them nothing. . One or two more games may be played by the home five before the opening of the sectional tournament at Valparaiso on March 5.
