b 7 THE BEMIDJ1 D. VOLUME 6. NUMBER 150. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER'ffi, 1908. LY PIONEER. MINN ESOTA HISTORICAL | SACIETY. FORTY CHNTS PER MONTH COMPANY K WAS DEFEATED; BEMIDJI HIGH TEAM WON Soldier Boys and Grand Rapids Played Desperate Football Game Yesterday.—Bagley High Played Here Satur- day.—Both Games Were Exciting. With Fullback Kelly, Halfback Collins and Ted Getchell, who plays in the line, absent from the line-up, the Company K football eleven of this city was defeated yesterday afternoon by the Grand Rapids City‘ football team by a score of 5 to O, in a game which was a stubborh fight all the way, from beginning to end. Grand Rapids had the best team that has ever appeared on the field wearing “Rapids” uniforms and they prepared to wipe up the earth with| the locals if possible. The absence of Kelly, Getchell and Collins disorganized the locals somewhat, the soldier boys not play- ing as good a game as they would put up with all the men in position. | Mitchell, who evidentally had but little football experience, was put in to play left tackle and the line was greatly weakened. Walter Brannon was substituted for Mitchell in the second half, and Walt more than| “made good,” He skirted the Grand Rapids left end, for a run of twenty yards, and he undoubtedly would have scored a touchdown had the crowd been out of the way. i Company K played a strong game and the Grand Rapids touchdown, which was made twenty minutes after play began, was the direct re- sult of a bad fumble of a punt, when the Bemidji quarterback missed the ball and a Grand Rapids man fell on it, about ten feet from the Bemdji| goal line. Bemidji held the visitors on two downs but on the third try Walleen, the big Grand Rapids fullback, went through the line on \llitchell’s] side, there being no one there to stop him. With Getchell playing at! that point Walleen would never | have gotten through and Bemidji} would have gotten the ball on downs. Company K’s goal was never in danger after the first touchdown, and the battle raged back and forth over the field, with the locals having a slight advantage, but being unable to score. Toward the end of the game dis- putes were frequent and much time had to be taken out on account of wrangling. On every line-up there was a general mix and when the players were untangled from -the mass of humanity, there would be a session of ‘‘rag-chewing.” The crowd surged onto the field and got around the players to such an extent as to interfere with the game. One member of the local team so far forgot himself as to start slugging when the game was over and his actions are severely condemned by every lover of true sport in Bemidji.! The work of Mantor, captain and halfback of the Company K team, was brilliant. He carried the ball nicely and on several occasions broke through the opposing line and | tackled the “Rapids” player and threw him for a big loss. easily the star of the game. Hillaby, Stewart and Lucas were also especially strong. It was Bowler’s first attempt to play fullback, but he did very well. He was, The two teams lined up as follows: Grand Rapids—H.

Ralph Lycan of this city acted as referee and Clem Southworth of Be- midji umpired. Two 25-minute | balves were played. Inan extremely one-sided game on the local gridiron Saturday after- noon, the Bemidji High school foot- ball team defeated the Bagley Highs by a score of 8 to 0. Twenty-five and twenty-minute halves were agreed upon. Bagley won the toss and chose the north goal with the wind at their back and Bemidji kicked off. The local boys secured the ball on downs and rushed it across the field, scoring within three minutes of the begin- ning of the game. From that time on Bemidji kept Bagley on the go and, although the Bagley team worked hard to hold them, the home boys proved too fast and at the end of the half the score stood 45 to 0. In the second half the Bemidji eleven made the following changes in their line-up so as to give their green material a showing: Ryan was sub- Estimted for F. Brenneman at right | guard; D. Gould for Harris at left |zuard; Neuman for C. Gould at left half and McDonald for Huffman at { quarterback. At the end of the last | ‘ half the score stood 58 to 0. The Bemidji boys played a much! better game than they did one \veek ‘ago, when Grand Rapids defeated | them by a score of 21 to O. The goals were pretty well dlS tributed over the team, Lycan mak- ing 2, Stanton 2, Gill 2, Kruse 1, Boyer 1 and Huffman 1. Bagley was tackled behind their line once and forced to make a safety, netting Bemidji 2 points. Stanton did fine at kicking goals, securing five goals out of seven attempts. The two teams lined up as fol- lows, Bagley replacing Lewis by Beaulieu in the second half when the former suffered a wrenched ankle: Bemidji—C. . Brenneman, c; F.

Bagley—Gossling, c; Pontius, rt; Wright, re; Demo, lg; Jensen, It; Johnzon, le; Lewis, gb; i Trondson, rh; Hendy, fb; and Holt, 1 1h; Simons and Covey, substitutes, The individual playing was cer- !tainlv pretty to look at. Huffman made two or three splendid quarter- i back runs and the wav Lycan hit the line was certainly fine. Gill and | Gould made several long end runs | which made the crowd howl with ,delight. Stanton got into Bagley’s iinterference and threw their ‘man {back several times. Twice he Brown, rg; Captain Otto at right guard was;secured the ball on a fumble and a tower of strength, and Pete Edd, at center, played a good game, but roughed it too much and was inclined to slug. The Company K team has some splendid material, and it was shown yesterday, with more practice, and the best men in the lineup they have a very strong team. For Grand Rapids, Johnson, the quarterback, ran the team very fast and tried every form of football in advancing the pig-skin. The team showed better knowledge of the game | before midnight. jscored a touchdown. Kruse played a game which would take the heart iout of a mummy if he was on the opposite side. ‘The boys in the middle of the line worked hard and faithfully, although they did not have the oppertunities to carry the ball as o/i:en as the backs and ends. The high school boys and girls gave a dance during the evening in the city hall to entertain the Bagley | visitors, the ball breaking ap just The Bagley boys than did Bemidji, but could make Teported that they had greatly very little advance agamnst the heavy | €njoved the evening, in spite of the bunch that was pitted against them.

The Pioneer---40¢ per Month { terian church, were held this morn-| 7 to be present.

(JUDGE STANTON WL - BE HIS OWN SUGGESSOR The Judge Is Receiving Assurances of Support from All Parts of the District. That Judge Stanton will be his own successor is pretty generally conceded by those well informed in every part of the district. The judge’s record on the bench is good, and this fact alone isa tower of strength. Hisplatform ot non- partisanship appeals to the people JUDGE C. W. STANTON. and there are but few voters whose ideas of party adherence will deter them from supporting him. His official duties are so many and so exacting that he can devote-but little time to a canvass of the dis- trict, but his friends in every local- ity are alert to make certain that this will not result much to his dis- advantage. 3 From present indications Judge Stanton’s plurality inBeltrami c\ounty will be a record-breaker.

He has compelled many corporations which attempted to evade the Somerville law to file their arti= cles in his department, and thus brought a large amount of addi- tional fee money into the state treasury. He has further shown | his watchfulness for the people by closély scanning all incorpora- tion papers offered for filing, and in several instances has declined to permit the incorporation of companies whicir were undesira- ble from both the view of tech- nical conformity to law and pub- lic desirability.
