Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 94, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 March 1912 — Basket Ball Team Boses to Lafayette 22 to 21. [ARTICLE]

Basket Ball Team Boses to Lafayette 22 to 21.

The Lafayette high school basket ball team almost met defeat by a score of 22 to 21 at the Armory Friday night when they were opposed by the local quintet. The game was extraordinarily interesting in the second .half, and the large crowd that attended applauded until hoarse the brilliant and almost professional-like plays of both the home and Lafayette teams. It was the best game of the season and the result was unexpectedly gratifying to Rensselaer, because of the score ran up by the home team, who were so easily beaten by Lafayette a few weeks ago.
