Injury Received Some Time Ago Likely to Keep Dashing Gopher Half From Contest. Minneapolis, Nov. 16.—Ruling as ten to six favorites in the betting, the Wisconsin team reached the Twin cities early yesterday. morn- ing and is quartered at the West ho- tel, Minneapolis. In the afternoon light signal pracitce work was done by the eleven that hopes to wrest the conference championship from Min- nesota. Madison Thursday night was ablaze with student enthusiasm in honor of the Badgers. Promptly at 8 o’clock there was a rousing mass meeting of students on the campus, followed by a torchlight procession throug the streets to the North West- ern railway station, where there was another demonstration lasting nearly thirty minutes. Giving a final “On Wisconsin” and singing “Good Night, Ladies,” tne students enthusiasts left Coach Juneau to tuck his men safely into their special sleeping car berths and wended their way back to their abodes Just before the train pulled out of the stafion Coach Juneau found time to discuss the Badger pros- pects of success. He was far from optimistie. “We have been given a rating in the newspapers to which we are hardly entitled,” he said. “Our team has not as many veterans as the gen- eral has been led to believe. The line, with the exception of the ends, is inexperienced, comparatively speaking. Samp was substitute full- back last year. This is his first seas- on as a tackle, but both he and Butler have played well. “I have had glowing reports of the Minnesota eleven. Earl Driver, who saw Illinois defeated, says the Gophers put up a defense _that is calculated to test our offense to its utmost. Our boys have shown a will- ingness and a disposition to work hard. They have come through in good physical condition, and if they know any football at all it will come out Saturday. “I would like to be excused from expressing an opinion about the re- sult. I do not believe in making predictions. Rather, I am inclined to wait until the game is well un- der way, or ended.” Dr. H. L. Williams has closed all avenues that permit of information concerning the real condition of the Gophers. It is not certain, even, that Erdall —injured in the Illinois game—will be able to start at right half. His knee, which was wrenched, has been mending slowly, and it is a question whether he will be able to go through sixty minutes of play in the game of the year, even if he is able too start. This much is ‘assured, however: The eleven will be in the game every moment of the time, and, if it is not swept off its feet in the first few moments of play, will give the Bad- gers a game well worth seeing. The Maroon and Gold players are game, and willing, and have demonstrated their fighting ability in every game played this y ear. Wisconsin’s backers insist that their team, which has overwhelmed every opponent this year, cannot lose to Minnesota. Both Van Riper, Wisconsin’s star halfback, and Gil- lette have recovered from their in- juries and will be in the game for which they have been saved.

Ivory Smuggling. Ivory smuggling is looked upon as & very serious crime in British East Africa, and this is only as it should be, for, in order to secure the ivory, the traders have to kill great num- bers of elephants. The game preser: vation laws, particularly as regards elephants, are most severe, and woe betide the man who is caught break- ing the game Tregulations or in pos- session of illicit spoils of the chase. The smuggling of ivory, therefore, says the World Wide Magazine, is treated in the same manner as smug- gling gems and clothing into the Uni- ted States, illicit diamond buying in | ‘South Africa, or other forms of smug- gling in England. The rigld laws, however, do not prevent the Arabs and Indians from indulging in an ille- | gal trade in ivory on a large scale. BANQUET FOOTBALL BOYS Domestic Science Class @irls To Ser- ve Big “Feed” For Champion- ship Eleven. SPEECHES AND 1913 ELECTION Members of the high school domes- tic science class are planning a big banquet t.o be given some time in the near future for the boys who com- prise the football eleven which won the championship of Northern Min- nesota this fall. The date of ‘the event has not yet been set, but will likely be held dur- ing the next week. Following the dinner speeches will be made by the superintendent coach, teachers who will be invited to attend and the football warriors. It is also probable that a captain will be elected to lead the 1913 team, and’ who will succeed Earl Bailey, who has so successfully led the elev- en of 1912 to victory. ‘The folowing comprise the team; Bailey, captain and quarterback; Lycan, fullback; Peck, Stanton, Ry- an and Hayner, halves;Elletson,, Gra ham and Wright, ends; Olson and .| Ackenback, tackles; Johnson and Ti- tus, guards; Sullivan, centre. sor Carson are giving the banquet, and in speaking of th event Mr. Car- son, coach of the team, said today: “Mr. Dyer and myself feel that the boys are entitled to this banquet in payment for the time and earnest endeavor they have displayed during the football season. To win the championship the boys have had to work hard and faithfully thorugh- out the entire season. -The banquet will be the last football function of the year, and will also be the last time the boys will be together as a football team, Bailey, Ackenback and Stanton having played their last game for Bemidji High. The team will suffer sever loss by the gradua- tion of these three men. _Captain Bailey has mafs-% good field -geners: al, and carries the-ball cleverly, Ack- enback played a great defensive game at tackle, and his position will be hard to fill next year. Stanton although not out for football at the beginning of the seasan clearly cinched a birth on the team soon after his appearance. He plays a strong offensive and defensive game. “There is some good material for the team of next year and every pos- sible effort will be made to retain the championship of the northern section.” Receives Carload of Print Paper Twenty ton of newspaper print paper, comprising a car load, was received today by the Pioneer from the Grand Rapids paper mil. Charlie Peterson and Mr. Person, of Warren, were Bemidji business callers yesterday. Charms of Walking. “In Europe whole.familles go, off for tramps together; in England, every Saturday half-holiday sees load- ed trains of walking parties starting out of London, making for Epping For- est, or Burnham beeches, for the hills of Surrey or the river banks. -Not to walk on a holiday is the exception- al thing.

In the current issue of the Grand Rapids Herald-Review that paper comes out with a plain admission. of the fact that Bemidji has a great football team and a team which was worthy of its large score against the high school eleven of that city. Athletic relations between these schools are the friendliest they have ever been and it will be the earnest endeavor of the Bemidji boys to keep them so. LONGWORTH SPENT $1,568.

Only thin sheets of ice have as yet formed on Lake Bemidji during ‘the recent cold nights, and the wind which has been blowing across the lake today has complete- 1y ‘broken these up.

Where the Vhl'ht Fell. - Among the ancestors of Wendell Phillips were several Puritan clergy- men. Perhaps it was a push of here. dity which made him, at five years ot age, a preacher. His congregation ‘was composed of circles of chairs, ar- ranged in his father's parlor, while & ‘taller chair, with a hible on it, served him for a pulpit. He would harangue these wooden auditors by the hour. “Wendell,” said his father to him one day, “don’t you get tired of this?” “No, paps,” wittlly replied the boy- preacher; “I don't get tired, but it is rather hard on the chairs.” The Average' Man, The average man will hurry to & veterinary when his pet dog gets sick, but he is willing to rely on almost any kind of “dope” when he isn’'t feeling well hl.mnlt.

A. Andrews and wife were about to take a farewell spin in their launch Thursday, and when they reached .the . lake shore they found the ice had formed in 2 thin layer over that portion of the lake near the boat house. It was an easy matter to break the ice with an oar and they ventured to take the trip. When they reached beyond the center of the “iceberg”, was taking water rapidly. They called for help and started to pull back toward the landing. Two men in &, row boat reached them just in time and the occupants were transferred into the row boat and the launch was towed back to the boat house where it immediat- ly went to the bottom. Investigation found that two large holes were cut into either side of the boat, caused by the sharp ice. “That’s as near to a real cold plunge as I want to get”, said Mr. Andrews, in speaking of the affair.

BRINKMAN TOSTAGE FOR “OLD ELV’ Home Talent Play for Benefit of High School Annual to be Given Friday and Saturday. FULL OF FRILLS AND THRILLS Plotxnpqponkmthtcnlk Runner of Yale Track Team Has Gone Stale . DRESSING ROOM SCENE GIVEN In Wich Excitement Among Ath- letes During Big Meet is Shown. ~—Twenty in Cast. Arrangements have been complet- ed whereby the home talént play “For Old Eli” will be staged at the Brinkman Theatre on next Friday and Saturday evenings. The play is for the benefit of the “Chippiwa” the high school annual, From the outset the play is one of excitement and thrills such as will take every college man or woman back to those “good old days,”” and ig of the life at Yale just two days before the famous Harvard track meet, the night before that eventful occassion, the dressing room of the Yale team during the meet and a party following the victory. Interest is at its height at Yale and during tne first act Walker, cap- tain of the team, while endeavoring to con for a Greek lesson is disturb- ed by the calling of several college- mates. -Dick Carson, the hero of the coming event and a roommate of Walker’s is visited by Professor All- bright, an authority on Hume’s Philosphy, who seeks to drum some of that subject into his brain. The parts are taken by E. A. Nelson, Al- fred Neuman and Hiram Simons, Jr., respectively. Suddenly Ludlow, a freshman bursts in upon the scene, with the frightening news that a few of the girls would be there in a few min- utes. The manner in which the boys attempt to straighten the room is amusing. In the second act the alarming news is discovered that Carsonm, the man upon whom the success of the meet was believed to depend, hall been drunk and had gone stale. Gloom is supreme, and a victory looks impossible, until at the last moment, with the score a tie, Car- son who had already won three events during the day, and who had been deserted by his friends, volun- teered' to take the place of Captain ‘Walker, who had sprained his ankle by stepping in a starting hole, in the mile. Carson won the race, placing the championship with Yale. At the party during the evening Carson is asked forgivness after ex- plaining the conditions of his ‘drunk’ apology follows apology, and as the old saying goes, everything was hap- Dy everafter. Earl Riley will play the part of Mike, the trainer, and during the third act, when he explains to his men what they are up against, is given plenty opportunity to display his talent.
