The “Big Bemidg” basketball team played its first real game of the sea-| son last evening, when they over-; whelmed the high school basketba]l‘ five, by a score of 34 to 4. The “Big” team showed lack of practice, and the boys were not in the best of form when the game started, the high school boys, hav-! ing played football all season, beinz| in excellent condition and rushing the city fellows quite strongly. The regulars braced up, in the second half, and rushed the school youngsters off their feet, and easily winning the contest. The teams lined up as follows: | “Big Bemidg”—H. Geil gnd Markham, forwards; Heffron, center; Peterson and Brown, guards. High School—Gould and Gill,; forwards; Homdrom, center; Stantun’ and Kreatz and Neumann, guards.g Roy Lindsey acted as referee and | was fair and impartial. | From the start of the game, the! “Big Bemidg” could not get their! team work going smoothly, and the ““kids” pushed them rather strongly. ! The school players fouled the! city twice and Harry Geil made two points by placing the ball in the basket on both tries from foul. Harry also threw a nice field basket, as did also Markham and Brown. Markham, who has not played before this year, showed lack of practice at first and missed many throws. He got going before the close, however, and did nicely. For the school, Stanton threw a fine field basket and Gill put the ball in for a score from a foul. The half ended 8 to 3 in favor of “Big Bemidg.” Neumann went in for Kreatz on the school team, in the second half, Minnesota-Carlisle Game. otherwise the line-up was the same.

Houser Northrup Field, Minneapolis, Nov. 21.—(Special to Pioneer.)— Northrup Field presented an inspir- ing appearance this afternoon, when the annual game between the Minne- sota football eleven and the dusky wartiors from Carlisle University, Pennsylvania, were scheduled to meet for honors on the gridiron. There was an immense cfowd in the grand stand and bleachers, long before the game was started, among whom were a large number of| Indians who had come to the city from the White Earth and Red Lake Indian reservations. The Indian spectators were especially interested in the game, as several Carlisle stars are Minnesota Chippewa “braves,” and are fam- ous in the Ojibiway tribe of the North Star state. “Little Boy,” the great center of the Carlisle team, is none other than “Scottie” Porter, the ex-pitcher of the White Earth Indian- baseball team, and several others of the players and subs are well-known to Minnesota reds. The Carlisle team had besen pre- sented, yesterday, with a long- necked “Doke’_’ from the Red Lake Indian reservation, the bird being given by John G. Morrison, Jr., an old White Earth resident, as “Mascot” for the reds. The Minnesota team has been trained to the minute for this game, and especial attention has been given the Gophers to develop them into playing a strong.defense against the forward pass, inside kicks, etc., which have been their undoing at other games this year. Minnesota players have been using the basket- ball in their practice, and they were confident that they would make a ffine showing against their shifty opponents. Last year’s game went to the Indians, by a score of 12 to 10, and the Minnesota supporters had hopes of tying the score today, and some pretended to believe that the Gophers would win. Tohnston, the lightning player, who startled the Gopher rooters by his marvelous exhibition of reckless- ness in the game with Wisconsin, has been given especial attention by the coaches during the last two weeks, and he has improved won- derfully in his general work, €speci- ally in catching punts, in which de- partment he fell down woefully in his last game. If he was right today Dr. Williams, the Gopher coach, expected Johnston to pull off a few tricks which would open the eyes Warner’s braves, and if the little fellow was given half a chance there would be something doing in the in scores. The entire Gopher team was in the pink of condition, and the men -were determined to show Minnesota enthusiasts that they were by no means “down and out.” The team of | fident they would give the redskins a fine tussle: The Carisle team has been in St. Paul, quartered at the Ryan hotel, since Thursday evening, and they were in splendid condition. The Indians had two defeats over Minne- sota to their credit, and appeared very confident of the outcome of today’s game. Glen Warner, coach of the Carlisle team, did not have much to say con- cerning his team, other-than that he was confident that every man would do his best in bringing about a victory over Minnesota. The Car- lisle coach has followed the Minne- sota team closely and he is aware that the record made is not an envi- able one. He is, however, going to play a safe game, and put in his best team, as he admitted that the goph}rs were apt to come out strong and spring a big surprise. The first half of the game was the most evenly-contested football bat- tle ever waged on Northrup field. Despite the best efforts of the Car- lisle players to outplay the Gophers, they were often on the defensive, and the Gophers clearly played the better game. Each team made a touchdown and kicked goal, in the first half, the score at the end of the half being as follows: Minnesota 6 Carlisle 6. Minnesota went into the second half with a’determination that was simply desperate, and the Indians were also on the alert and confident of overwhelming their adversaries. The Gophers played with desper- ation and the Indians were simply unable to stop the “pale faces.” Minnesota scored a touchdown in the second half, but failed to kick goal. \ Try as they would, the Carlisle warriors could not again cross the Minnesota goal, and they were forced to be satisfied with their touchdown and goal in the first half, and tasted defeat for the first time in the west. Pandemonium broke loose after the game, and the Gopher team were carried from the field on the shoulders of admiring supporters. The reversal of form shown by Minnesota was a great surprise. Few had supposed that the Minne- sotas could even tie the visitors, much less defeat them. Final score: Minnesota 11, Carlisle 6. Chicago Wins Western Championship. Madison,"Wis. Nov. 21.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Madison was filled today withy a big crowd of football enthusiasts, who had assembled ‘to witness the championship game to be played between the ‘“Maroons” of the Chicago University and the “Badgers” of the University of Wis- consin. The game was for the premiership in football of the middle west, and as both teams had made an enviable record this_year, it was expected tbat the game would be a fiercely contested and highly spectacular one.

Coach Stagg would say but little 1 of his team, except that they were in splendid condition and prepared to play the best game of the year. The “Badger” team was fully pre- pared to meet the “smooth machine” which Stagg has built up, and Coach Berry said of the game: “I have just talked to the men on the team. They are set and' deter- mined. Every man is ready to fight toa finish. The maroon team is a | strong aggregation. We want speed, but don’t figure on speed alone. If jour team fights with the same ideterminatwn it has shown the last few days, the maroons will know they have had a game before they jare through.” As both the “Maroons” and the “Badgers” are splendid examples of the new game, which includes the forward pass, inside kicks, etc., the crowd was on “tiptoe” for sensa- tional incidents. Final score: 1" Chicago 18, Wisconsin 12. Harvard Wins Eastern Championship. New Haven, Nov. 21.—(Special to Pioneer.)—When Yale and Har- vard faced each other on -the grid- iron here today the eastern football championship was hanging in the balance. Yale’s well-earned and more or less decisive victory over Princeton and Harvard’s defeat of the strong Dartmouth team, the conqueror of Priaceton, made the contest of today the championship one, inasmuch as no fair comparison is possible be- tween the blue and crimson and Pennsylvania and Cornell.

Gillespie, the Fargo Architect, Snbmittefl Plans Which Were Accepted by Andrew Carnegie.— Contract to Be Let Tonight. W. D. Gillespie, of the firm of Haxby~ & Gillespie, architects of Fargo, N. D., has been in Bemidji the past two days for the purpose of assisting the library board in let- ting the contract on the new Car- negie library building, which will be erected here as quickly as the con- tractors can get to work on the job, the Fargo firm having furnished the plans. Mr. Gillespie has a perspective of the building, and from the gen- eral outlines as shown therein it is a very pleasing design and will add very much to the beauties of our park and the city in general. The material used in the building will be cut stone and pressed . brick and the general plan shows a build- ing that is very conveniently ar- ranged and economical in its plan of construction. The basement will be the full size of the building, and will, according to these plans, be five feet above the ground, thoroughly lighted so that it will be convenient for the work rooms, boiler rooms and toilet rooms which will be located in the basement. The first, or main floor, of the library building is approached by seven or eight steps of cut stone. The entrance hasa column on either side, which makes a very pleasing approach to the building. The main rooms are well lighted and tne librarian’s desk is so located that it commands a view of the entire first floor. The stock rooms are located immediately behind the librarian’s desk and are well lighted and easy of access either by the public or the librarian. The roof is low and has a dome in the center, making a very striking appearance, The entire building, when com- pleted, will give to this city a solid, substantial structure that would be a credit to any city in the state. The erection of the library build- ing in Bemidji was made possible through the generosity of Andrew Carnegie, the great steel magnate, who donated the sum of $10,000 to the city of Bemidii for the erection of the building, the city to furnish a site and appropriate an adequate sum to pay the running expenses of the library. The city discontinued the east end of Fifth street, in the city park overlooking Lake Bemidji, providing an admirable site, 50x60 - feet. Plans for the building were drawn by Haxby & Gillespie of Fargo, which plans were forwarded to Mr. Carnegie and were duly approved by him. The plans were then returned to Bemidji and Mr. Carnegie auth- orized the library board, on approval of the president of the board and the architects, to draw as often as needed on the donation of $10,000 in erecting the building. At the meeting of the board and * the architect, which will be held this evening, it is more than likely that the contract for the construc- tion of the building will be let, and that work on the structure will be commenced at once and rushed to completion as rapidly as possible. The Bemidji library board, as provided for in the city charter, is composed of Mayor Pogue, ex-officio president; A. P. Ritchie, superin- ’ tendent of the city schools, secretary; J.-M. Richards, treasurer; W. B. Stewart, superinten&éut of county schools, and Rev. S. E. P. White, paster of the local Presbyterian church. - : In speaking of the local Carnggie Library building, Mr. Gillespie, the architect, said: “It is to be regretted that the city has not placed a larger amount to the maintainence of this institu- tion, as a city with the future that- Bemidji has in prospect should have a better building than $10,000 will erect; but this is a move in the right direction and may pos- sibly be the beginning of a larger and better building in the very near future.” W D = 217 Third St. ; Mail Orders Promptly Filled — - Are you beginning to think of the greatest pleasure we have—the pleasure of giving and receiving?
