CHASED THE PICSKIN
The Princeton and nonticello Football
Teams Played First Game for
Season Last Saturday.
Game Was a Lively One But Neither
Side Won, the Score Being
Nothing to Nothing.

The first football game of the season
played on the Princeton grounds was
pulled off on Saturday between the
home team and the Monticellos. It
was an interesting game, devoid of
rough play, and both sides showed
considerable skill in the manipulation
of the pigskln. At the windup the
score stood O too.
In the first half Monticello kicked
off to Princeton and Berg returned Is
yards. The line buck made yards
and the end run l yard. The ball was
then lost on downs, Monticello gain
ing 81 yards and losing rs. Month
cello failed to make the required dis
lance in three downs and punted to
Princeton's 20-yard line, when the ball
was returned to Monticello's 45-yard
line. By a series of line bucks and
end runs Princeton got the ball on
Monticello's 5-yard line but failed to
push it over the line for a touch down.
Monticello got the ball on it's own
5-yard line and an end run brought
the ball to Princeton's 20-yard line,
where the Princeton team held Month
cello for downs and obtained the ball
on it's l5-yard line. By some very
good end runs by Berg and Jesmer
the ball was put on Monticello's TO-
yard line, and Berg tried for a goal
by drop kick but was blocked. In the
last minute of play Monticello got the
ball on the try for goal but soon lost
it on tumble. The first half ended
with a score of 0 to with the ball in
Princeton's possession.
In the second half Roos was brought
into the game and strengthened the
team very much, and by his playing
put life into the team that was notice.
able. Princeton kicked to Monticello
and the runner who caught the ball
was downed before be had taken two
steps. Monticello, by an end run,
nearly made touch down and would
have scored but for the work of Art.
Roos, who made flying tackle and
got his man on the 10-yard line.
Princeton held it's opponents for the
downs and got the ball on it's 35-yard
line. By more end runs and line
bucks it got the ball on Monticello's
l5-yard line but failed to get the ball
over the line. Monticello then got the
ball and made it's downs until the ball
was on the 55-yard line, when their
man with the ball got away again and
was dropped by Roos.
The teams kept see-sawing over the
field, neither side making anything,
until Monticello's man got away with
the ball and was dropped on Prince
tons 1O-yard line by Gotten. They
failed to make the 10 yards and Roos,
Jesmer and Berg steadily carried
the ball down the field to within three
yards of Monticello's, but could not
make the score. The score at the end
of the game stood to O.
All the boys played good ball but
special mention may be made of the
playing of Roos. Jesmer, Shaw and

METH0DISTS ANGRY
West Duluth rlethodists Resent Gov.
JohnSOn's sBelshazzar Feast''
illusions at Montevideo.
Resolutions Roundly Censuring the
Governor for His Uncalled for
Utterances Are Adopted.

Republican club, which is mainly COM
posed of laboring men and small mer-
chants most of whom affiliate with the
Methodist church, the following reso-
lutions we're unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Governor Johnson in his
opening speech twice alluded to the
annual banquet given by our organic
alton on August 6 as Belshazzar
feast; and
Whereas, wide publicity was given
to said speech, and we were thereby
unjustly maligned throughout the
state; therefore, be it
Resolved by the West Duluth Re-
publican club that we strongly resent
the characterization of our simple
spread and respectable assembly by
any such terms, and we repudiate the
insinuation conta ined therein with all
the strength we have.
A. j. Meldahl, president of the club,
furnished this statement over his own
signature:
II am the president of the West Du-
luth Republican club, which gave it's
annual banquet on August 6, at which
Hon. J. F. jacobson, republican can
didate for governor, was a guest. I
was therefore astounded when I read
the statements made by Governor
johnson in his speech at Montevideo
relative to this banquet, to which he
referred as Belshazzar feast, and in
which he said Mr.. jacobson was sur
rounded by corporation men.
1.-The facts are that this club is COM
posed of laboring men and small mer-
chants entirely. myself am labor
ing man and am treasurer of Lathers
union, local No II, in the city OF Du-
luth.. There was no liquor served at
this banquet, the club charged 81 a
plate; the food was furnished by the
Ladies' Aid society of the Asbury
M. E. church; Rev. S. G. Briggs of
the Merritt Memorial M. E. church
asked the blessing.
There were other ministers present,
and both they and the ladies remained
until the close. The speakers of the
evening were Mr.. Jacobson, Senator
Clapp, Frank B. Kellogg, Clarence
&. Miller and J. Adam Bede.
ITO say that the members of our
club, the people Of West Duluth and
the ladies of the Methodist church are
indignant at the reference to this ban
quet made by Gov. johnson is putting
it mildly. We can't understand how
the governor of the state could DELHI
eratel y misrepresent our banquet for
the purpose of making few votes for
himself.''
Rev. DR.. Briggs, pastor of the Mer-
rift Memorial M. E. church, who asked
the blessing at this dinner, when shown
the above statement, said:
LAS I recall the story of the
original Belshazzar feast. this modest
little affair got up by the good Metho-
dist ladies of West Duluth, bore not
the slightest resemblance to that
notorious revel. I heartily indorse
MIR. Meldahl's statement and you can
quote me as strongly as you please as
deprecating this sort of politics on the
part of a man whom we had supposed
above such methodist
