FORTY CENTS PER MONTH BEMIDJI HIGH DEFEATED GRAND RAPIDS HIGH, 12-6 Coach Thornton’s Warriors Showed Great Reversal in Form and Outplayed Grand Rapids Aspirants for Chamgionship of North Central Minnesota, The Bemidiji high school football team tecame a prominent factor in the high school football champion- ship of north central Minnesota, Saturday, when the husky boys who represent Bemidii schools on the grldiron won from Grand Rapids high school eleven, which has de- feated every team of note in the north half of the state, with few ex- ceptiors, and had every right to contend for the championship honor. The game Saturday was a fine ex- hibition of the new style of football, the Bemidji eleven greatly excelling their opponents in trick formations and open plays, being especially pro- ficient on handling the forward pass. The locals used different varities of the pass, and in spite of being pen- alized severely several times for un- completed passes, the plays were for the most part brilliantly executed Prior to calling the game, it was announced that R. Meyers, the Grand Rapids fullback, had been barred from the game; and as Lycan, fullback for Bemidji, was out of the game, the loss to each team was about equal. The line-up for the game was . as follows: Grand Rapids—W. Reusswig c, McClennan rg, A. Teul rt, Blood re, Sissler lg, King 1t, McAlpine le, Powers ab, Loffberg rh, Fraser lh, E. Teul fb; subs Grove, H. Reuss- wig and Logan. Bemidji—C. Breneman ¢, Hom- drom rg, C. Gould rt, Kruse re, Mc- Donald lg, Boyerlt, D. Gould le, Huffman gb, Gill rh, Stanton Ilh, Kreatz fb; Neuman, Naylor and Engels subs. Dr. Orr of this city and R. Meyers, fullback for Grand Rapids, and who! was not playing, alternated respec- tively as referee and umpire; Prof. Ritchie, superintendent of the Be- midji schools, and James Doran of Grand Rapids, coach for Grand Rapids, acted as timekeepers, Ollie Neilson was head linesman and had as assistants James Harris for Bemidji and Hugh Logan for Grand | Rapids. Grand Rapids kicked off, and the Bemidji players at once began return- ing the ball. Boyer made ten yards, Huffman repeated for ten more, and a forward pass, Huffman to Stanton, added ten more yards. A second | McAlpine, brought the ball in strik- ing distauce of Bemidji’s goul, and - the visitors at once began a series of Ecross—b\xck line plunges that Bemidji | could not step, Teal, the fullback, | squirm that gave a touchdown for |Grand Rapids, Teul following his i touchdown with a goal. Grand Rapids 6. Bemidji 0. Wken the teams lined vp for the | second time, the Bemidji players had I gotten over their freight, and began | a series of formations and forward | passes that bewildered their oppon- ents. | Little Huffman, quarterback for Bemidji, ran the team with rare judgment, and the boys backed up every play in fine style. Although the Grand Rapids players out- weighed the locals, every man being much heavier than his local oppon- ent, Bemidji clung to them and often a Bemidji player broke through and stopped the play, on several occas- ions throwing the visitor fora clean loss of from two to five yards. Not a player on the local team ‘‘loafed” and all of the plays were fast and strong. Kreatz, Gill, Stanton and Kruse were right after every play that Grand Rapids attempted, and the big fellows began tiring early. Huffman encouraged his boys and they played in whirlwind fashion, the boys in the line holding like vete- rans. One or two costly fumbles did not discourage Huffman’s mates; they only played the harder. After a series of attempts to gain through the line, Grand Rapids was | forced to kick, Huffman getting the ball and making a fine return of twenty yards. Gill responded with a fine five-yard line plunge. A forward pass netted ten yards, and then the crowd was electrified by one of the finest trick plays ever seen here. Huffman got the ball from the pass, and after drawing the players into a bunch to down him, passed the ball to Kreatz, who stood near by, Kreatz hurling the pig-skin ten yards into the waiting hands of Dana Gould, who jumped for the line and barely got the ball over for a touchdown as he was fiercely tackled. ‘The play was cheered to the echo, forward pass was uncompleted, and!and when Stanton booted the ball Bemidji was penalized fifteen yards.|squarely between the goal posts and An on-side kick was fumbled and | tied the score, there was nearly a Grand Rapids got the ball. The Rapids players got tne ball going and a forward pass, which netted a twenty-yard run for riot. The game remained end of the half. tied to the (Continued on last page.)

He states that he, together with his sons, James, Lewis and John, have been quite success- ful in their hunting for big game. A deer which they killed was one of the largest which has been seen in this country, the antlers being esvecially fine. “Pap” Murphy and his sons are among the best hunters in northern Minnesota, and when they once get their eyes on a deer it is as good as theirs, Commissioners Meet Tomorrow. There will be a regular meeting of the board of county commission- ers of Beltrami county, beginning tomorrow. There is not. much business of importance, most to be considered being a general cleaning up of left- over matter from the last meeting and the general routine that has accumulated since the last session.

The pfirty was out one week and while they were not successful in getting any deer they brought home with them one of the finest moose ever killed in these northern woods. The moose was shot by T. J.

The animal weighed about 950 pounds before being: dressed, and the head possessed a magnificent set of antlers, which were 543 inches | spread of the horns, with 14-inch webbs on eace side.
