NET SEASON OPENS FOR H. S. FRIDAY NIGHT

The 1920< basket ball season will be opened in local circles Friday evening of this week when the Reynolds high school team meets Rensselaer on the local court. The White county aggregation has been playing since early fall and have a record of twelve victories in thirteen starts and of winning the out-door championship of White county held recently. The visitors will be in far better trim than the, locals as a result, which means that Rensselaer will have to show a far better brand of basket ball than the visitors if they are to be returned the winners. At any rate local fandom is assured of a hard fought battle, and if Rensselaer can pry off the lid with a victory over the flashy Reynolds five they will have made a very auspicious start. A far greater interest is being manifested in basket ball by the local school thip year than for several years and twenty candidates responded to the coach’s initial call. • Several of last year’s players are available and some very promising new material has been unearthed during the workouts, which fact has made the competition for places on the team unusuallykeen. The probable lineup for Rensselaer at the start of the will be Larsh and Collins, forwards; Harmon, center; Lambert .and Arnott, guards. ?
