Crookston High Team Defeated By Fosston Team The Crookston high school football team which will play the Bemidji high school team Saturday, was de- feated last Saturday afternoon by the Fosston high school eleven. The Crookston Times comments as follows on the game: “As a thunderbolt from a clear sky, word of the defeat of the Crook- ston high school football warriors at the hands of the Fosston high school came to Crookston Saturday. The i final .score of the game at Fosston i Was 26 to 0.in favor of the Fosston ?eleven “Crookston went to Fosston with a weak team, but never expected to be .swamped in the manner in which they were. . n fact, they. expected to win, despite their weak line, made 50 by the non-playing of Johnson and Miller. “All hopes for the championship of Northwestern Minnesota for Crook- ston were shattered by me detent of Saturday. [ “Crookston went into the gnme Sat- urday with ‘win’ as their watchword. For three minutes they pounded away in championship form. . At this time Lawrence, the strongest defensive player of the aggregation, was ruled off the field. for slugging and the Crookston team literally went to pleces,. except -for Captain Woolery, quarter,. and Eddie Peterson, half- back, who played their usual game. “Fosston scored in the second quarter; which ended with Fosston 6§, and Crookston 0. .In the second half Fosston scored three more touch- ~-downs, one of which was made on an 80-yard run. by Rierson, Fosston’s half-back, through Crookston’s line- " ““Fosston has a strong aggregation " ot players-and will probably win the ‘Northwestern Minnesota ~champion- _ship this. year.. They have defeated Ada by & score of 6 to 0, and will | play. Bast- Grand .

M. Odell of Minneapolis, presi- dent of the State Game Protective. league, who is in Bemidji today. Mr. Odell is also a member of the state forestry board. Kills Off Young Birds. “The house cat will kill off the young birds,” said Mr. Odell. “We have found this to be particularly 80 in the game refuges near Minne- apolis, and have come to the conclu- sion that in order to protect the birds all vermin must be destroyed. Up in the Bemidji game refuge I do not suppose that the birds are bother- ed by cats’but T'do imagine that they are bothered by other small ani- mals. g Refuge Solves Problem. “The game refuge is the only real solution of protecting the birds. But in connection -with the game refuge, game must also be raised. There are now three state refuges, one in Bemidji and the other two in Hen- nepin county, near Lake Minnetonka and the Mississippi river. In the Hennepin county refuge we have or- dered 10,000 mallard duck eggs and some pheasant eggs. We will edu- cate the residents and have agreed to give each member of the- league one dozen eggs. Others can buy eggs at the regular wholesale price. The ducks or pheasants will be hatched and the birds will bé released in the game - refuges. One . Minneapolis busingss man last season raised 500 m*rd ducks and -another man raised a .Mg;pe.numb .0f_pheasanta. | Auto Blamed for Decrease.” “The automobile can be. blamed to a large extent for the rapid ex- termination of game.
