sy T B 'E BEMIDJ1 DA] VOLUME 6. NUMBER 190. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1908. Historical Society, =[] = F ORTY CENTS PER MONTH COMPANY K WON GAME WITH HIGH SCHOOL---5 to 0 Grounds Were Covered with Snow and Unfit for Go d Playing.—Both Teams ‘Were ‘“Shy” Regular Players.—Last Game of Season. On a slippery field, covered with three inches of solid frozen snow, Company K football team yesterday afternoon defeated the Bemidji high school eleven by a score of 5 to 0, the big fellows making one touch- down and failing to kick goal. Another touchdown, made by Stew- art of the militia team, was not al- lowed, because of holding. The game was a fairly well played one, considering the slippery condi- tion of the field, which made good playing impossible. It had been ex- pected that the heavy soldier boys would walk all over their lighter op- ponents, but the school boys did very well and were dangerous at all times. The Company K team played straight football, and with line- bucks and end runs had the better of the contest all through. Both teams were "sl;y” two play- ers, and filled with others. Ted and Frank Getchell played with the militia team, and the positions usually filled by McDonald and Stanton on the school team were taken by “subs.” Dr. Orr and A. K. Southworth alternated as referee and umpire, and Prof. Ritchie acted as time- keeper. The two teams lined up as fol- lows: Company K—['dd ¢,F.Getchell rg, T. Getchell rt, Stewart re, Bowler lg, Lucas lt, Markham le, Shook gb, Manton rh, Brannnn lh, Hillaby fb. High School—C. Brenneman c, F. Brenneman rg, Larson rt, Kruse re, Humdrom lg, Boyer It, McDon- ald le, Huffman gb, Gill rh, C. Gould 1h, Kreatz fb. The high school team kicked off, and the game was a fast one from the beginning. The company K players made substantial gains in the lighter line of the school, but were often penalized for their eagerness, which led them offside, and also for holding. The “kids” held very well, and the “big fellows” could not get started, owing to the slippery condi- tion of the field. The forward passes attempted by the school did not work very well, the ball being slippery and difficult to handle. In their line-bucks the soldiérs used Markham to good advantage {with a clear and he made several good gains around the ends, charging hard and plunging to good effect. In one of the mix-ups, C. Gould grabbed the ball after a fumble, and field started for the soldier goal. Stewart, one of the fastest sprinters in the state, started in pursuit and downed Gould ten yards from the goal. This was the only time that the big fellows’ goal‘ was in real danger. The school players went into the mix-ups with sp’endid courage, little Johnnie McDonald being at the bottom of nearly every mix-up. He; was lightning fast and tackled hard| and sure. He played a fine game. Near the end of the first half! Stewart broke away from left end and made a touchdown for the mili- tia, but the ball was- brought back, it being claimed that there was hold- ing in the line. The half ended with neither side being able to score. In the second half, the militia boys made a touchdown, after some hard line-bucking and end runs. | Lucas failed to kick goal. The touchdown came after the| school eleven had lined up for a punt by Huffman. Huffman stood on the goal line and when he kicked Fdd broke through and blocked the punt, and fell on the ball behind the goal. The remainder of the half was a pushing “bee” for the militia boys, | who got withia striking distance of the school goal several times, only to lose the ball by fumble or being held. Huffman twice kicked the ball out of danger, and when time was called the ball was in possession of the militia, in school territory. All of the players on both teams played well, considering the slippery condition of the ground, and also the ball; and the high school boys did exceptionally well to hold their heavier opponents 1o so low a score. Bemidji has two good elevens, the high school, team being one of the best of its class in the north | half of the state; and it is conceded that the militia team, with proper coaching and practice, is the peer of any in northern Minnesota.

CUMMER Cass Lake, Nov. 27.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Harry Fields, a colored man, was killed near Schley by the local freight train going east yes- terday morning. Fields entered the caboose of the train before it left here, yesterday morning, and being without funds, was refused passage. " He was in an intoxicated condition and left the caboose, He was not heard from again until the train approached Schley. Then the train crew noticed that the train was not moving as it should, and thinking there was plain at being penalized so fre- quently. through the game. Deans and Eckersolls Tied.

COMPANY WILL GIVE “AT GOZY GORNER,” TONIGHT Burt Imson’s Player's Will Put on Very Strong Play at the City Opera House. The Burt Imson company was greeted with a fair-sized audience last evening, when “East Lynn” was given. Thke company gave the standard old play in a very capable manner, plauded. This evening the company will present ‘At Cozy Corner,” or as the piece is better knowa, “In Mis- souri.” In this play(a strong rural drama) Mr. and Mrs. Gray will take the leading parts and will be seen to advantage. Mr. Sutherland, the “‘heavy” man of the company, will appear as “Joe Rolland,” the blacksmith, and the big actor considers this one of the best parts in which he is cast with the Imson company. His work is certainly fine, in this part. Mr. and Mrs. Harry St. Clair will have the comedy parts, and inciden- tal to the play they will do a double vaudeville turn. First-class specialties will be in- troduced during the play and be- tween the acts, by the members of the company; and those who go to the City Opera house this evening wiil be given a fine evening’s enter- tainment, and were liberally ap- 1909 Diaries.

The visiting team showed con- siderable team work, . but their encerted play was not as good as it will be later in the season when they have had more practice. There are some old basketball men on the team, notably Logee, who has played in many fast semi-profes- sional teams in other parts of the country. J. T. Blair of Deer River acted as referee, and he is one of the very best officials who has ever been in charge here. His decisions were fair and impartial, and he watched every play. He was given very able assistance by Roy Lindsay, as umpire. Roy is good. From the start of the game Deer River jumped in with their best efforts, determined to give the local team “a run for the money.” play was very fast, and it was some moments before the Bemidji players struck their gait. Brown, at center, was everywhere, and he played one of the very best games he has ever put up here. Harry Geil was also in fine form. 2, in favor of “Big Bemidg.” Jehn- son, for ths visitors, threw a nice field basket, in this half. *‘Big Bemidg” started very fast in the second half, and the scores came very rapidly, Geil being especially proficient in throwing baskets. He finished the game with 25 points to his credit. The balance of the loca] team all played good ball, indicating that as the season advances they wiil be very strong.

KETGHEL IS AGAIN THE GHAMPION MIDDLEWEIGHT Michigan “‘Lion” Knocked Out Billy Papke, “lIllinois_Thunderbolt,” at Colma, Yesterday Afternoon. San Franscisco, Nov. 27.—Stanley Ketchel, of Grand Rapids, Mich., regained the middle-weight ' cham- pionship of the world yesterday and reversed his defeat of last September when he sent Billy Papke, the “Illinois Thunderbéflt,” crashing to the floor before a well directed blow that caught his opponent flush upon the chin. The end came in the ieleventh, prior to which Ketchel showed clearly that he was master of his opponent at any kind of fight- ing. Round by round, Ketchel forced his opponent and when the oppor- tunity offered, planted rights to the head or body, generally escaping without damaging return. Belying his appearance and forc- ing the fight throughout every min- ute. Ketchel was stronger up to the moment of the knockout blow than was his opponent.

Tne attendance was the largest recorded and the papers and lectures delivered by the different instructors seemed to be impressive and brought to light many new ideas as regards the manner of caring for different subjects and classes. The following resolutions were adopted: “Whereas the primary means of a more efficient system of education lies in the constant improvement of the teachiug force; and, “Whereas, the calls for the best practical, as well as theoretical train- ing of prospective teachers; be it, *“Resolved, That we most earnestly advocate the establishment of a sixth normal school to be erected at some | convenient place in North Central | Minnesota, in order to take care of! the rapidly growing educational! necessities of this section of the state, be it further, TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION FAVOR ANOTHER NORMAL North Central Minnesota Edusators Adopted Resolution to that Effect.—Next Meetin, g of the Association Will Bemidji. “Resolved, That as members of the association we use our best efforts individually and collectively with the members of the legislature, laying before their consideration this matter at the next session of that body, be it also, *“Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting, that it would be in line with- the best thought of educa- tors that a high school be estab- lished in connection with the college of education at tke state university for the better fitting of instructors for the high schools of the state, and that we earnestly urge this upon the board of regents of the university and place it for consideration before the members of the legislature.” The next annual meeting of the association will take place in Bemidji. The following officers were elected: President, P. M. Larsen of Cass Lake; vice president, Cora Crawford of Park Rapids; secretary, Anna Shelland of International Falls; cor- responding secretary, A.

It was a left to the stomach that sent Papke to the ropes at this junc- ture. Infalling Papke seized his opponent and the force of his rush carried them clear off the platform and over the heads of the spectators. A hundred willing hands assisted them to the center and in 2 moment they were grappling in a clinch. Ketchel was a victor throughout. His appearance during the early| {rounds did not tend to encourage those who had backed him at odds of 10 to 7 and 10 to 6, but his awk- ward delivery of fast blows seemed to | lull Papke into a false sense of security. In the first round, Ketchel drove Papke into a neutral corner, |landing right and left almost at will iand thereafter the Illinois contender was always at a disadvantage. Stepping aside at critical junctures, Ketchel swung his right time and (time again flush upon his opponent’s | jaw, now and then alternating with left drives to the body. In the fifth round Ketchel drove a hard left to the stomach of Papke, who did not put up his bands before he encountered a hard right to the jaw. Before this, in the fourth round, a light tap on the nose had brought blood from Papke that started the crowd yelling for the Michigander. It was in the seventh that Ket- | chel used his right to the greatest advantage. Papke’s only hope lay in his disposition to clinch, but he was hit twice and both blows tended to lessen his recuperative powers. ’ From this time on, the crowd awaited the knockout punch that Ketchel was apparently withholding, In the ninth Papke was sent totter- ing accross the ring and nearly went to his knees by a powerful blow delivered in a clinch.. He arose to meet Ketchel’s right which twice landed in jaw. Papke went to his corner bleeding freely from his nose. This was the beginning of the end. In the following round, Papke twice turned his back on. Ketchel’s swift assaults and delib- erately ran away. In the eleventh and final round Ketchel came up as fresh and strong as at any time during the fight, He tapped Papke lightly on the jaw and then rushed him half across the ring, planting two hard rights to the stomach. A moment later as they broke out of a clinch Ketchel swung the left at three quarters length, landing squarely on the point of the chin. Papke struck the floor at full length, his head rapping the floor with terrible force. He had just enough strength to regain his feet and while he crouched in an attitude half protected, Ketchel sent his right to the head four times in quick succession and almost pushed Papke over with a left hook. Papke dropped and fell forward on his knees, his hands supporting him and his head bowed as if in agony. Referee Jack Welch counted 11, as also did the timekeeper and then advancing toward Ketchell threw the Michigan fighter’s glove aloft.
