VOLUME 6. NUMBER 112. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS WILL BE STRONG Indications Point to the Local High School Having Cham- pionship Team This Year.—The Outlook Very Bright, at Present Time. As the thrill of autumn comes creeping into the air and the blood begins to tingle, the wise football player commences to plan and train for the battles of the gridiron which are to come. The boys of the Bemidji high school are already preparing for the annual round of football games and each evening of late sees them tackling and kicking the ball about the school coaching of Manager grounds, under the Lycan and Captain Kruse. There will be between twenty and twenty-five candidates for positions on the high school team this season and each man will have to work hard to gain and to hold his place, some- thing that the boys heretofore have not been compelled to do on account of lack ot material. Among the material which the leaders will have to work with this fall are the following: Humdrum, Lycan, Kruse, Charles and Danna Gould, Huffman, Claude Breneman, | Albert Peterson, Boyer, Kreatz, Ryan, Russell, Fay Breneman and Stanton. Getchell, Carter, Peterson, Shook, Richardson and Dwyer, regular players and subs on last year’s team, will notbe back again this fall. Lycan, who played tackle last year, is practicing faithfully for fullback, and will probably obtain that position. Charles Gould played, a part of the time last year, at tackle and occasionally at guard, and his brother, Dana, at guard and sub. Humdrum and Kruse (cap- tain) were the fastest pair of ends that the local high school ever had. Claude Breneman held down center last year, and will probably play Kreatz is-a staunch guard. Boyer got into only one game in '07, but is a husky lad with plenty of courage. Huffman and Stanton are newcomers in the city. Huffman played one year on the Central High of Minneapolis and Stanton is an eéxcellent addi- tion to the local squad from. St. Thomas college. ~ Both of the last two men will strengthen the team considerably. Fay Breneman, Rus- sell and Peterson are new material, but will greatly aid in developing a fast team. The bunch, as a whole, are fine. The boys have quite a2 snug sum of money in their treasury left over from last year and they will give several suppers and entertainments in the near future to raise sufficient money to meet the expenses of the forthcoming season. The high school boys will have a paid coach this fall to put them in the best possible shape, and Manager Lycan stated to the Pioneer reporter that he has practically completed arrangements to secure Archie Libby, a former player on the Carlisle team, as coach for this sea- son. With such an experienced man to coach them, the boys will, undoubtedly, make a fine showing. The local management will attempt to secure games with the following high school teams: Cass Lake, Grand Rapids, Walker, Akeley, Park Rapids, Bagley, Foss- ton, Crookston and East Grand Forks. There will be some cracking good games this fall and the Bemidji boys will make a determined effort to land the championship of north- western Minnesota. there again. The DOUGLASS LUMBER C0.

He says that he is highly pleased with the manner in which the game war- dens throughout the state are seeing the law enforced. This is especially true of this district. He believes there has never been a time when the respect shown for the game laws was so much in evidence and he be- lieves it will have a most salutary effect upon all kinds of game. He pays a high testimonial to the work that hasbeen accomplished in Polk county by the Polk County Game and Fish Protective Association. Notice.
