BEMIDJI ELEVEN DEFEATS AKELEY IN HARD FOUGHT GAME, SCORE 36-0 Local Team Works in Machine-like Form; Hard to Pick an Indi- vidual Star. BAILEY GETS DROPKICK FROM THE 22-YARD LINE Tackling is More Sure and Deadly Than in Two Previous Games; Small Crowd. By Dr. J. W. Diedrich. (Former University of Minnesota Quarterback) The Bemidji high school football eleven defeated Akeley high at the athletic grounds Saturday afternoon in a bitterly fought game by a score of 36 to 0. The rain of the forenoon and early afternoon kept many enthusiasts away from the game, but the small number that did attend were treated to some real football. Last year Akeley defeated Bemidji 10 to 0 and the visitors were deter- mined to make it two straight. The Bemidji eleven worked in more machine-like form than in the previous two games and got their plays off faster. The tackling, too, was more sure and deadly. It is hard to pick any one individual star in Saturday’s game for every one of the locals gave a good account of him- self both on the offense and defense. Lineups: Bemidji Akeley Phibbs........
