o THE BEMIDJI ILY PIONEEF Mistorical Soclely. TP VOLUME 8. NUMBER 183 BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENINé,_OCTOBER 3, 1910). . TEN CENTS PER WEEK. BEMIDJI-CROOKSTON GAME GREAT BATTLE Most Sensational Football Ever Seen Here Ends in Neither Side Mak- ing Score. COMPANY TEAM REORGANIZES Will be Known as Tigers With Ted Getchell as Manager—OQutside Games Planned. What was the greatest football battle ever fought on a Bemidji grid- iron was played here Saturday after- noor in a game between the Crooks- ton and Bemidji high schools, neither eleven being able to score. The Crookston boys greatly out- weighed the Bemidji players. Captain Larson, for Bemidji, won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. Bemidji received the kick off on her ten yard line, Neuman making a beautiful return of thirty yards. Bemidji was held for downs and forced to kick. Crookston failed to gain around her right end. They then tried a forward pass which was intercept- ed by Neuman, the crack Bemidji right half, who returned the pig- skin ten yards, where he was hit and thrown by three of the Crookston heavyweights, It was on this play that the speedy little half had the mis- fortune to sustain a broken arm. The injury was purely accidental, and was the first of its kind to occur to a Bemidji high school player. Even after he knew that he had a tractured arm he insisted that he be allowed to continue playing. Ripple went in at right bhalf, where he played his usual heavy game. The loss of Neuman greatly weakened Bemidji’s offence, especi- ally in interference; Neuman is also Bemidji's star “booter” and drop kicker. The first and second periods were played with neither team being able to gain an advantage. The half ended with the ball in Crooks- ton territory. Only once during the entire con- test did either team have their goal line in danger, and that was when Bemidji was on Crookston’s 15-yard line and “Rabbit” Bailey, Bemidji’s fleet right end narrowly missed a field goal. Crookston never got beyond Be- midji’s 30 yard line. Neither eleven was able to gain first down more than twice in suc- cession, which only shows how evenly the two teams were matched. Baily and Gould, at ends, starred in all departments of the game, while Peck and Hendrickson found subs opposing them during the last half. Lycan and Chamberlain were towers of strength at guards. The line held like a stone wall at all stages of the contest, and Crookston found it al- | most impossible to ‘gain through them. . Titus at center, althoigh playing his first game, proved a star. McDonald at quarter played the best game of his career, Stanton and Lar- son never failed to gain when called upon, while Ripple showed up well. Warner and Roemer were stars for Crookston.

The old Company K football team has been reorganized, and under the name of the Bemidji Tigers will put a strong eleven in the field for games with the elevens of other cities in this section of the state. The can- didates for membership on this in- dependent eleven held a meeting yesterday and chose officers and talked over the season’s campaign and prospects of getting games for the immediate future. Ted Getchell was chosen manager and George Hanson captain. In discussing the available mat- erial for a team, and knowing the ability of players who have already participated in games this year, it was announced that the eleven as far as chosed now would line up as follows: Breneman, censer; guards, not fully decided; Getchell and Gillis, tackles; Lindsay and Stewart, ends; McCuliough(cap- tain), quarterback; Harson and Manter, halfback; Hillaby, full- back, It is expected that George Lucas, the giant lineman of last year's Company K team, will re- turn ro the city and probably play at one of the guard positions, MILL Chie L..iEF 0UT Loses His Pcsition as Rasult of Real Estate Deal.

Karl Germain, one of the greatest living. magicians, who is' coming- to the Bemidji-opera houge on Friday evening of this week, recently came from London where he had spent the last two years. He knew the late Belle Elmore, the wife of Dr. Crippen, for whose murder the doctor and Miss Leneve are now on trial, and says that his sympathies are against Crippen. ¥ «Yes,” said Mr. Germain, when interviewed in Duluth, ¢I know Miss Elmore, or -Mrs, Crippen quite well in a. protessional way. She worked at a music hall a little way from the St. George’s hall where I was having a run. She was quite clever, and was above all very sweet and likeable in ap- pearance. ““I also met Dr. Crippen and from the first formed quitea dislike for the man.

La Follette again is to be a candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for president in 1912. It can be said that this faoct was freely talked during the sessions of the Republican convention at Madison and plans were even made during the convention for Senator La Follette in other states. The publ’: announcement of his can- didacy for the presidency will be made some time during the winter of 1911. Campaign committees will then be formed in all the states to press the campaign of the Wisconsin senator and a fight will be made in all parts of the Union for his candidacy. The appeal will be made directly to the people and the voters will be told in advance that if they desire to see a man who will really fight the great centralized capitalistic interests it is their business to see that men are sent to the Republican national con- vention of 1912 who will give their support to La Follette.

We Help the Physician Our prescription department is so organi- zed and conducted that it supplements the efforts of the physician in every way. When the doctor writes a prescription we see to it that drugs of known potency are used and very satisfactory part that these drugs are compounded in a truly «scientific manner. A less important but of our service is our plan of basing the charge on the exact cost of medicines, This means that price is reasonable and just in every instance.
