Kline, Veteran Superintendent oi; Logging for Walker & Akeley, Authority for Statement. While he was testifying before the congressional committee which is investigating the timber supply of§ the country, F. J. Kline, at Min- | neapolis, Thursday, told the com- i mittee there was stiil lots of pine in northern Minnesota, but very little ! spruce, The press reports say of Mr. Kline’s testimony: “The first witness at the morn- ing session was F. J. Kline, super- intendent of the logging department of the T.B. Walker lumber inter- ests. Mr. Kline was allowed at the start to tell in narrative manner something as to forest conditions in Minnesota and in particular as to spruce. “‘Speaking from the standpoint of alumberman and not as a paper maker, he said that there was very little spruce in northern Minnesota. It was mostly small and not cut for logs. He said nowadays the lumber companies cut everything off the land there was, including spruce. When asked as to his views asto the future supply of lumber in Min-: mesota, Mr. Kline said he had been| cruising over the lumber country for the last 35 years and 27 years ago he said that T. B. Walker, the Pills- bury brothers and F. F. Weyer- haeuser & Co. wonld cut off all the| trees there were. They are still cut- ting and there is plenty of timber left yet. There s lots of white pine left. “ ‘Where is it?’ inquired Mr. Mann. “‘Almost all over northern Min- nesota,’ replied Mr. Kline.” Reckless Bicyclists. The attention of the Pioneer has been called to the actions of certain bicylists in the city, who ride reck- lessly on the cement sidewalks of the city and who are endangering the lives and limbs of children and older people, with a show of reckless abandon that needs checking. A few days ago a child was run over and severely injured by a bi- cyclist why was * grade on a back street. The child was in bed for several days. There is undoubtedly an ordin- ance in the city forbidding the rid- ing of bicycles on the sidewalks and the police should see to it that the provisions of this ordinance are enforced. If it is impossible for the police to chase down the wheelmen, we would suggest that City Clerk Maloy be i goes after, . scorching” down! The geniel clerk gets what he Your Sunday Dinner.

The Bemidji team played today with Lycan, the fullback, and Stan- ton, left halfback, out of the game. played by Kreatz, Humdrom going in at tackle. Charles Gould played in Stanton’s place. Throughout - Minnesota interest centered in the grzat annual Nebras. ka-Minnesota game, which was played today on Northrup field, Minneapolis. Minnesota defeated Nebraska last year by but a few points and after a struggle that was a battle royal. Nebraska has always been a dan- gerous contestant against Minne- sota and all followers of football ex- pected a desperate game, Minnesota having anything but a “snap.” In the middle west, there was much interest over the game be- tween Chicago vs. Illinois and Wis- consin vs. Indiana, especially, as Chicago will play Minnesota on October 31. The points made by Chicago in. today’s game indicate her strength. ~ The Wisconsin team will play Minnesota at Minneapolis November 7, and the “Badgers” are really feared more than any other team which Minnesota will go against this year. As Michigan is not a2 member of the “big nine,” not much interest centered in her game with Notre Dame. In the east Yale played West Point, and the *“Army” has always proved worthy contenders for the “Blues.” Harvard had Springfield as an opponent, amd this game was con- sidered pretty much of a snap for Harvard. Cornell is playing Colegate, which should be an easy game for Cornell. The Carlisle Indians had as op- ponents Susquehannah, and it was only a matter of the size of the score for Carlisle. Annapolis vs. Lehigh was con- sidered. a tough game for the “Sol- dier boys.” The Pioneer gives above the final scores of all of the games mentioned in this article, which was obtained direct ‘from the fields where the Yale ... ... . ... 6 Pennsylvania. 12 Brown. . . ... ... .. 0 Harvard . .44 Spmngfleld ...... .0 Carlisle ... .. . - Susquehanna. . —-— Cornell . .. 9 Colgate . ... 0 Annapohs Lehigh games were played, at a late hour this afternoon. Fosston 6, Bemidji 0. Fosston, Oct. 17.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The Bemidji and Foss- ton high school elevens lined up as follows for today’s game: Bemidji—Kruse (Capt.), re; Neu- mann, rt; F. Brenneman, rg; C. Brenneman, c; Harris, Ig; Boyer, It: D. Gould, le; Huffman, gb: Gill, rh; C. Could, 1b; Kreatz, fb; McDonald and Engles, substitutes. Newmann played at tackle on the offense and at left halfback on the defense, Charles Gould playing vice versa. Fosston—Movold, le; Swanson, It; Furuseth, lg; Larson, ¢c; Whaley, rg; Rund, re; Lohn, qb; Rue, lh, J. Lohn, rh; Alm (Capt.), fb; Stadsvold and Hillestad, substitutes. The game was a stubborn contest from beginning to end, .and neither team had any decided advantage. The absence of Lycan and Stan- ton weakened the team very much. In the first half Bemidji shoved the ball over the line, making what everybody thought, a touchdown, but “for some reason Professor Thornton of Bemidji, who was acting as referee, refused to allow the touchdown. The Bemidji players protested, but to no avail. This was the only time that Be midji got near the goal. By straight line bucks *and for ward passes Fosston secured a touchdown in the first half and kicked g»al, giving them six scores. Neither team 'scored in the second half. The final score was 6 to 0 in favor of Fosston. Minnesota vs. Nebraska. Minneapolis, Oct. 17.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Great interest was taken today in the Nebraska-Minne- sota football game, which was played on the Northrup field. A big crowd was out to see the game, it being the general impres- sion that Nebraska would give Min- nesota the hardest game since the two Universities have had atheletic relations. The Nebraska eleven, twenty- five strong, headed by Coach “King Coal,” arrived yesterday forenoon and stopped at the West hotel. The party included nineteen players, Coach and Mrs. Coal and others, as well as three or four hundred rooters. The probable line-up of the Ne- braska team was given out as follows: Cooke, quarter; Kroger, fullback; Birkner, ‘Bletzer and Minor, half- backs; Collins, center; Harter and Ewing, guards; Chaloupka and From, tackles; Harvey, Temple and John- son, ends.
