Boys Beat Goodland At Basket Ball.

The first match game of basket placed by beys of the Rensselaer high school occured Friday night at the armory, and resulted in a victory for the home boys. The score was 31 to 15. The Goodland lads played pluckily and made several baskets from hard chances, and they played their positions better than Rensselaer, but were not as good individually. The game was not largely attended and altho somewhat livelier and having more players on each side it did not prove as popular as the girls’ games have in Rensselaer. On next Friday night a double header is to be played here, both thp boys and *girls being opposed by the boys and girls of the Brookston high school. It should draw out a large crowd. The line up is as follow: Goodland 15. Rensselaer 31. Smith r f Wood worth Rich 1 f Laßue, Beegrist Gillam c Myers Conway r g Huxford, Gowland Gravel 1 g Long Baskets:—Woodworth (5), Myers (5), Laßue (1), Seegrist (1), Rich (4), Gillman (g). Three throws, Wood worth (7), Gravel (3). Referee, Hwilips, Umpire Morgan. Time of Halves, 20 minutes.
