LOCALS WON TAME GAME AT REMINGTON FRIDAY

Playing on a pill box floor which nullified all attempts at team play' and made it almost impossible for the offensive men to elude their guards, the Rensselaer high school basketball team pushed. the Remington team out of their path and pulled in a victory by the narrowest of margins ,12 to 11. The game was tame and uninteresting throughout, the small floor being responsible for the lack of brilliant play. The first canto closed witn Rensselaer leading 6 to 1, Collins, Tilton and Arnott netting the ball once each, while Remington’s lone point came from Howard’s free toss. Shortly after the second half got under way, Harmon and Larsh, first string men, were injected into the lineup and the latter quickly took Rensselaer out of the danger zone with two field goals after Remington had caged the ball twice in rapid succession. With the score resting at 12 to 9 in Rensselaer’s 1 favor, Remington manufactured another field goal. The whistle sounded a few seconds later, however, leaving Rensselaer on the long end, the ball being dent through the net by a Remington marksman only the fraction of a second after the final whistle. The Lineup and summary: Rensselaer.
