GRAND RAPIDS HIGHS WALLOPED BEMIDJI 21-0 Game at Grand Rapids Proved Waterloo For Coach Bright’s Boys.-- “‘Rapids” Players Were Heavier, and Played Faster than Bemidiji. Grand Rapids, Oct. 4.—(Special to Pioneer).—The first game of foot- ball of this season for the local high school was played here Saturday afternoon, when the team represent- ing the Bemidji High School was defeated by a decisive score of 21 to; 0. The game was a good one from start-to finish, Bemidji stubbornly contesting every yard, but superior weight and coaching told their tale in the final outcome. The local team outweighed the visitors on an average of eight pounds to the man and played together like clockwork. The Bemidji boys played a good game individually and well on the offense but thé defense was poor. The line, especially the guards and tackles, showed either a lack of proper coaching or failed to follow the proper methods, 1if they had been taught to them. They put up a plucky fight although forced to Grand Rapids kicked off to Be- | midji’s 30-yard line and latter ad- vanced it three yards. Two yards were gained at right tackle and Gould failed to.gain at left tackle. Third down netted nothing. Grand Rapids’ ball. One-yard gain at right end. Lofberg made 5 yards through left tackle. Failure of the forward pass on the third i down gave Bemidji the ball. Failing to get 10 yards in the first two downs, Bemidji punted and again secured the ball on their 40- yard line where they were held for downs and the ball went to the “Rapids”.

Bemidji kicked off from the 25- yard line and Meyers ‘secured the ball, being downed in the middle of the field. The gains of the locals were rapid —3 yards, 5, 3,10 yards _amund right end, 3 yards twice on short end bucks; another 10 yards around right end and the ball was on Be- midji’s 2-yard line. Bemidji braced and but 1 yard was gained. Two more smashes at left tackle and Toberg carried the ball over the line. Score: Grand Rapids 7, Bemidji 0. Lofberg failed to kick goal. The. score stoodsthis way at the| end of the first of the two twenty- minute halves. Bemidji braced up wonderfully in the second half and Grand Rapids began trick plays. Lycan made a splendid 30-yard run. The Bemidji boys, especially Stanton, made several fine tackles and seemed to wake up. The for- ward pass was used on both sides, failing three times. With five min- utes left to play, “Whirlwind” Meyers neatly drop-kicked a field- goal, making the score 21 to0 in ! favor of the “‘Rapids.” The officials were impartial and there was general satisfaction with heir work.

The Co. K. football team yester- day morning went through a vigor- practice at the grounds, with fifteen men out in ous two hours’ uniform. The team will be seen every evening this week on the streets and will get down to good hard practice, preparatory to the big game scheduled for next Sunday {with- the Grand Rapids city team. Since the history of the two towns, at no time has a team representing Bemidji ever handed a defeat to the Itasca county football warriors. Owing to the absence of Captain Kelley for the remainder of the season, a new captain was elected. Gil Mantor, a former St. Thomas College star and for several years captain and player on the Brainerd team, wae made captain, the choice being unanimous. Mantor plays a backheld -position, is strong and heady, and will no doubt make a good feader. The team that will line up against | the Rapids next Sunday will break the hoodoo that has always existed, if there is any possible way to do so. The men are all in the best of physical condition, plays have been perfected, and with good hard | practice all week the militia colors | will fly skyward, no flag shall drape at kalf mast, but forty guns shall shout a victorious salute, the enemy taken into camp, and, according to train although a few remained until |- Mrs. F.

A. Irvine Logeirg company, and today we are shipping forty men to Fowlds for the Crookston Lumber tompany. There is a healthy de- mand for men, and as the threshing season in the Dakotas was much shorter than in former years the men are returning sooner than ex- pected, with the result that there is not the shortage that there has been some years heretofore.” All the local employment bureaus report substantially the same con- ditions as the Blackduck Employ- ment agency. Enjoyable Farwell Party. Mrs. P. J. Russell gave a very pleasant dinner at her home Satur- day evening, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. G. E.

A splendid wild duck dinner was | in the 2: ‘Thomas fiewby's string of pacers did well at the meeting of the Tri- State Racing association which was held at Duluth last Friday and Sat- urday, although Bessie Barolite did not do as well in her race (the 2:17 pace) as local horsemen had ex- pected she would. k Mr. Newby had Bessie Barolite and Brownie Mac, and 'had previ- ously driven Prince Hal, but for some reason William Begsley of this city put up Lem Phelps behind the! Prince. The change in drivers evidently worked well, as Prince Hal took the bit in his teeth and easily won the free-for-all. . The Duluth Herald said of the 2:17 pace, which was decided on Friday. “Gypsy Queen, owned by E. J. Rochon of Winnipeg, Man., had an easy time winning the 2:17 pace, which she won in straight heats, Miss Hartford, owned by Elliott & Rundquist did not show up as well as her owners had expected. Bessie Barolite, the Bemidji pacer, owned by Newby, made a good showing in this race, but the track1 was too heavy for her. Dan D., was also fast, but was outfooted nicely by the winner.” Sunday’s Duluth News-Tribune said of the races Saturday: “Hans M fought out the first heat of the 2:24 pace with Coco. In the second heat, Bonett, driver of Coco did some superb tefming on the home stretch and won by a nose. BEMIDJI HORSES DID WELL IN THE RACES-AT DULUTH Prince Hal Won Free-For-All, Brownie Mac Was Second in the 2:24, and Bessie Barolite Won Third 17 Pace. The third heat went to Hans M in another driving finish ,with Coco. Then to the surprise of everyone, Brownie Mac collared Coco on the homestretch of the fourth heat and, in a hard drive, won by a throat- latch. > “This unexpected speed shown by the little brown gelding from Bemidji, started an uproar in the crowd. In the last heat Brownie Mac was never headed. As five heats made a race, the horses standing sthe best in the summary, were awarded the money as follows: Hans M, first; Brownie Mac, second; Coco, third and Alice C, fourth. “With Afnite C, Onadonna, Pat Ford and O. F. to contend with, Prince Hal, 2:06 4, owned by Newby of Bemidji and driven by Lem Phelps of St. Paul, won the free-for- all pace in split heats. All the heats, with the exception of the last, were decidedjy close, the ‘second, which was given to Afrite C, being as near an even finish as anyone ever saw. Pat Ford, who was ex- pected to make a great showing, acted badly in nearly every heat, while O. F. was fretful_ and refused to work. Onadonna, the pretty pacing stallion which Elliot & Run- quist purchased in Chicago last winter, made his bow to the local public yesterday. While the best he could get was third money, he paced all the way in every heat and was always close up at the finish.” THE NATIONAL OPERA GO. | WILL SING IN BEMIDJI “The Two Thieves” (Erminie) and . “‘His Highness, the Bey,” Will = Be Given. The famous comic opera success, | “The Two Thieves”(Erminie) will be | presented atsthe Citv opera house by | the National Opera company onj Oct. 7th. This delightful composi- | tion has stood the test of time and“ is as popular today in the hearts of opera lovers as it was two decades ago, when the new famous opera singers, Pauline Hall, Francis Wil- son, etc., first gained the celebrity that has since made them rerowned ! stars. It is the operas of this class| ‘back ground for this that endure while the latter day pro- duction have a popularity of a sea- son or two and then are discarded, and there is a reason for this, when one considers the sterling musica and literary ability of that era in comparison to the present day efforts. Messrs. Sheely and Huntington have provided elaborate scenery which together with the modern light effects and costumes form a illustrious comic opera thatis seldom if ever equaled. To add novelty and charm to the performance some pretty dances and song hits from the later successes are introduced. The sale of seats is now on at the City drug store. Already there is much in terest shown by our public in this production. Notice. All bills due to Earl G. Wagner ot to Wagner & Hoff are to be paid to J. A. Hoff of this city. Wagner & Hoff.
