FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER ,8 1922 ' THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER . BEMIDJI HIGH SCHOOL MEETS AITKIN HIGH IN LANDED BEFORE COLUMBUS | Hiceson was s Bemid}i_l’lays First Game In The New Gym Conference Schedule. To Open This Evening; Aitkin [s Said To Be In Fine Condition LESLIE BAILEY NAMED CAPTAIN OF QUINTET Boys Band Listed To Play; Hearty Public Support Is Urged And Expected Tonight The Bemidji high school basket- ball team will meet the Aitkin high school quint tonight in the tirst game of the season as well as the st contest in. the new gymmasium, the game being a conference battle. Aitkin has dlways been represented by a fast bunch of cage-shooters. The Aitkin school, not beinz repre- sented on the gridiron, consequent- ly got an early start in basketball ball which will be'a big asset to them in tonight’s contest. Advance sale of season tickels in- dicates onc of the largest crowds to ever attend an ¢pening high school game. Many people will no doubt attend to get-a look-at the beauti- ful gymnasium, which is one of the finest .in the state, and one which has been sadly needed ever since the history of the school, Bandmaster G. Oliver Riggs will be present. with his. famous Boys Band in fuli force, which will make a big hit at the game with their snap- py pieces before the game as well as between the halves. At a meeting of the basketball squad last night in the high school, Leslie Bailey, quarterback on the football team and second baseman on last year’s Northern Minnesota baseball champions, wes unanimous- 1y elected captain of the basketball team for the 1922-23 season. The auto husses have offered spec- ial prices to transport basketball fans to the new high school who wish to ride .from the downtown district. They will transport people for the small sum of ten cents one way in place-of-the~usual-price of 25 cent. Fans may get these -busses at the Northern National bank conrner. Just how coach Kovach will start his game against the. Aitkin team is not known at. this time. Captain Bailey, will -no -doubt start at one of the forward posts with “Swede” Boe no doubt at the other. Neumann, smashing fullback on the football team, is slated to start at center, with Hickerson, smashing freshman full- back, at one guard and Smith, last year’s captain, at the other guard. Baney, football and baseball star, is out for basketball and has been giv- ing a good account of himself and will no doubt get into the game also.. The gamd will start gromptly at 8:15 p. m. and will be called by Ref- eree Hanson of Fosstona former North Dakota Aggie star, who will officiate the game, . Due to the fact that this is the Bemidji high school’s first game of the season and the first contest in the new gymnasium, hearty public support is especially urged and ex- pected. The Bemidji school prom- ises to have a strong team this year | and the additional support given through large attendances will be appreciated by the boys on the team. The basketball season is now und- er way at Bemidji and is sure to be one of the leading basketball cities of the state this season. Conse» quently, the general public is urged to turn out for the game tonight, assured if they do, that they will at- tend all of the games on the high school schedule. The following games have been scheduled for the Firemen’s basket- ball team, several of which, how- ever, are only tentative. Others will be added as they are arranged: December 7—Naval Militia at Be- midji. December 9—Chisholm at Bemid- ji- .

Bemidji ji is to kave this year one o1 the strongest, if not the strongest inde- pendent basketball teams in its hist- cry. Those. who have waiched the Firemen’s team practice for the past several weeks have felt that way about it all along, and after seeing the game with the Naval Militia quint Thurzday night are now confi- dent that their convictions arc true. * Although a home talent game, the attendance was considerabiy larger than some expected it would be and the enthusiasm appeared to be there {also. Despite the fact that the'score {only showed a 44 to 19 victory, ior {the Firemen, it is considered that the ! exhibition of passing, floor-work and basket-shooting was one of tne best everseen on the local . floor: The Firemen refrained from iong shots, g . carrying the ball well ' under the P}‘?b”s' Fred, rf. baskets through rapid-fire passes, a Phibbs, Frank, lg. brand of game which is aways in-| | | teresting and bears close watching. = The Naval Militia team showed up ' [\2val Militia nicely, although-not as speedy on on Henry, rf. the passing.

Here Is the story: “Boy Number. One— absolutely - untamenble bad lost control. He Was slack,” un truthful, rebellious - and dowaright wean. Twice he drew suspedsions frc1a the troop for escapades. We allow three chunces, He took the third. We sald good-by. After watching the troop from the outside for three months, ke applied for reinstatement. His ap- plication was. referred to the boys. They agreed’ to admit him on trial. There has been such a great improve njent in his. general conduct and out- 100k on life, that'he is often pointed out as an examplé of good scouting. “Boy Number Two—came from a prusperous home. He became a patrol leader, At a critical ‘age he began imitating - older boys . of doubtful habits, and started drifting.’ With a totally' unexpected bang he wus re duced to the ranks. The next night { his entire patrol formed a committee to walk two miles to the S. M.'s home and plead his case. He was ‘paroled’ to them. After two weeks the S. M. harkened to persistent persuasion and made the boy acting P. L. under observation. Four months have pussed and it looks as though this P. L. 1s to be our next senior patrol " leader. He's cureq of wildness. “Boy Number Three—is still in the scout hospital, butis sure to recover. He was a spoiled* darling, YAnything | his little heart desired, he got—but there was no discipline in his life. ! Our uniform attracted him; our hard | work repelled him. He was as' de | structive as a boy could be, and there was no laziness in him when it came | to rascality. School teachers found ; him hopeless; ‘so’ did we and he‘was , deprived of his scout badge. Thiswasa novel experience and somewhat shock- ! ing to him, - He swaggered .around and said ke didn't cere—but he did. Then he reached the surprising {to him) conclusion that he was on thre wrong track. He has applied three times for reinstatement but the boys feel he will _stand a lttle more treatment. Cer | tainly he has lost his former ambition to destroy everything breakable; he has acquired some courtesy; he says ' he is wiliing to work. Probably ln”f three or four months the boys will take him in agaln, thoroughly taiced.” RATIONS FOR DRAFT HORSES | | Brood Mares Requirs. Mucn Greaur‘ Amount of Feed Than, Geldings or Dry Mares.’ The University of Missouri has beeu doing some experimental work with draft horses, brood mares and colts. Some of the results follow: 1. Brood mares may be used efll- ciently for farm work, but the yearly feed required by them is 26 per cent greater than the cost of feed required by geldings or dry mares doing the same work. ! 2. Brood mares working and: purs- ing foals require 47 per cent more grain and 32 per cent more hay dally during the suckling period than dry mares. 3. Fifteen pounds of corn silage, eight pounds of oat straw, with eight pounds of grain is a satisfactory ra- tion for horses doing light work dur- ing the winter months. —_—— “Gehenna.” Gehenna s the Greek name for the | Vallpy of Hinnom, situated south and | west-of the city of Jerusalem. Sacrl- ! £ces to Moloch, instituted by Solomon (1916975 B. C.), were offered there, and for years after, it was the place vhosen by the Jewish kings for the practice of their idolatrous rites. When Josiah, king of Judah, restored the national worship, he made Gehenna | Every Reason to Believe That Lief Ericsson Was Real “Discoverer” of America. Who may have been the first dis- ! coverer of America no one knows, but Lelf Ericssen visited it over 400 years ahead of Columbus. A recent writer on this matter has said: “The evi: dence that Lief Erlesson came to the North 1000 and that he returned to Europe, waking his discovery known to the world, is clearly authentic.” Erlesson is defended against the charge of be- Ing a “barbarous Norse adventurer,” though he might have been all that, and also the ‘discoverer of America. It is maintained that he represented the highest type of the Scandinaviam civ- fization of that time which had risen sibove the decadent Roman culture of southern Europe. The Sagas say_that men.” This week—every hour has been crowded with visits from Mothers, Sweethearts,, Sisters and Amerfcan coast in the year' man of 'ZC, powe! most imposing bearing, * man of ragaclty and just in all thing: Be- fore his discovery of America he had been converted to the Christian faith, and had been commissioned by King Olaf to proclaim the faith to the people of Greenland, which the Scandinavians had settled a considerable period be- fore that time. It is quite reasonable’ to believe that the Norsemen who had .wettled in Greenland had made voy- ugés to " America In advance of Erics- son.

A wellknewn English cutlery firm heard of this and sent a man over to- inspect it. Me selected several pieces of hard woog, which he sank with welghts, and then marked the places with small buoys. A fortnight later he returned-and took up two pieces of the wood, which he found to be partly petrified. * Two weeks after, he drew-up the other pieces, and found each plece to be as hard as flint, The firm then made several experls wents with the wood, and found that at a certain stage ‘of petrifaction an -excellent razor hone ¢ould be manu- Aactured from it.
