Ralph Lycan carrying two Fosston
players on his back through the goal
for touchdown.
Stanton kicked difficult goal and
the score was six to one in favor of
Bemidji, three minutes after play
started.
The contest waged back and forth
during the remainder of the half.
Bemidji fumbled and was penal
lied until the ball was within five
yards of their goal when the local
giants held like a stone wall, and on
the third down actually threw the
Fosston halfback down the field for
loss Of two yards. The half ended
with tbs ball in Fosston territory.
Bemidji scored another touchdown
and Stanton kicked beautiful goal,
in the second half. Gill, Lycan and
Stanton were used in advancing the
ball and made splendid advances
through the Fosston line.
Huffman, the quarterback, ran the
team fast and used good judgment.
He also made several long gains by
running around the end.
Every member of the local team
played splendid football and showed
elegant form for so early in the sea-
son.
The Fosston team played a good
game, but the locals were too strong
for them.
The best of feeling prevailed
throughout the game, and in the even
ing the visiting players were taken
to a show in the opera house, and
afterwards entertained until mid
night at a dance.
The next game on the schedule
for the Bemidji high school is

BIG BEMIDG BASKETBALL
BOYS LEASED COLISEUM
Lee Hetfron and H. E. BiddInger Will
Have Personal Management
Should Be Patr0nized.

A. J. Weyler and George Kinney
have transferred their management
of the Coliseum to the big Bemidg"'
Basketball Boys, the latter organiza-
ton having taken possession of the
combined opera house and skating
rink this morning. Lee Heffron and
H. E. Biddinger will have the per-
sonal management of the business
of the Coliseum, and it is their
present intention to continue the
roller skating for about two weeks,
after which date skating will be
abandoned for the winter and the
hall will be used for basketball,
dancing, entertainments and shows.
The new management will give
grand ball October 16, in honor of
the delegates who will be here
attending a basketball convention,
which will be held on that date.
There is Avery bright outlook
for basketball in Bemidji this fall
and winter, and there is every
reason to believe that the big
Bemidg' team will be a whirlwind
organization, in fact one of the
best west of Chicago. The locals
have contracted for the services of
one of the very best players in the
northwest, who was captain of last
years St. Thomas college five, and
who will play center on the big
Bemidg" team.
Messrs. Heffron and Biddinger
will strive hard to give the people
splendid place of amusement, and
will uphold the present dignity of
the coliseum, insuring order and
good behavior on the part of all,
which will insure the patronage of
the public.

BEMID.U FOOTBALLISTS
MADE GOOD BEGINNING
Bemdji High School Eleven Defeated Fosston IL to in
WellPlayed Game.-Co. X Militia Tied Grand
Rapids, Neither Team Scoring.

The first football game of the
series for the high sshool champion
SHY of northern Minnesota for the
season of 1908, was played in this
city Saturday afternoon between the
teams representing the Bemidji and
Fosston high schools, and resulted
in victory for Bemidji by score
of IL too.
Although rain fell during the
whole game and the weather was
anything but favorable for a cham
pionship contest, the game was a
good exhibition of football and was
a stubborn battle from beginning to
end.
The Bemidji team lined up as fol-
lows:
Claude Brenneman, c; Kreatz, rg;
Carver, TT; Kruse, re; Boyer, lg;
Charles Gould, 1t; Humdrom, lie;
Huffman, qb; Stanton, In; Gill, RI;
Lycan, fb. Subs-Danie Gould,
Fay Brenneman, Mcdonald, Ryan,

The Fosston players came on the
field and played as follows:

lg; Larson, C; Whaley, re-; Holland,
TT; Ruud, re; lohn, OBJ: Rue, III; J.
Lohn, rh; Aim (capt) fb. Subs

Fosston won the toss and chose
the south goal, with the wind in
their backs.
Bemidji kicked off and on the
first lineup it was shown that
Bemidji had the stronger team.
Fosston lost the ball on downs and
the Bemidji team Immediately
rushed the ball down the field
towards their opponents goal, big

To Continue Weekend Special.

The officials of the N. P. and M.
& I. railway companies have de-
cided to continue the weekend and
International Falls special during
the month of October.
Apparently the train has been a
paying investment and the officials
believe that there is popular de-
mand for the continuance of the
special. The train is certainly a
great accommodation to the people
living in the vicinity of Bemidji and
it is hoped that the company will
see fit to make the train permanent
affair.

was the first athletic bunch" in Be-
meidji to break the. 'hoodoo" which
Fosston has had oye1 local sports.
This is the first instance where a
Bemidji organization has ever won
over Fosston; and the high school
boys take it as gopd omen for con-
tinued success this fall
DR.. Orr acted as referee and Mr..
Erickson oAiciated as umpire, with
entire satisfaction to both teams.

Co. K 0, Grand Rapids 0.

The new Company K football
team of this city played it's first
game of the season at Grand Rapids
Sunday, when, with an eleven which
was short two PLAYERS and filled with
substitutes, they held the strong in
dependent team Of the Rapids
down to score of 0 to O, neither
eleven being able to score.
Saturday, the Bemidji eleven re-
ceived letter saying that the Grand
|. Rapids team was unable to raise the
necessary funds to entirely pay the
expenses of the visit to Grand
Rapids, and cancelled the game.
The local militia boys are in the
game simply for the sport there is in
it. and they decided topay their own
railroad fare to the Itasca county
seat and take chances Of getting the
remainder from the sports down
there, and left on the night train,
accompanied by good bunch of
rooters. 1t was impossible for Cap
tain Otto, the big center, to accom-
pany the team, and Pete Edd was
substituted.
The Co. K boys lined up as fol-
lows: Pete Edd C, J. Hilliby re-, J.
Markham rt, S. Stewart re, G.. Lucas
lg, J. Boiler 1t, F. Smith lie, w.
Shook qb, w. Collins rh, Mantor III,
K. Kelly fb.
The lineup of the Grand Rapids
team was not known, but they had
the best players in that village,
which included many old-timers.
Hod" Fisk of this city acted as
referee, and his work is said to have
been very fair and impartial.
The Bemidji team has practiced
but twice, and had no signals pre-
vious to going into the game. They
>hurriedly arranged signals and
started in with a dash and vim,
Shook running the team very fast.
Bemidji rushed the ball twice to
within five yards of the Grand Rapids
goal, but the latter held for downs
and kicked the ball out of danger.
The ball was in the middle of the
field most of the time, but on one
occasion the Rapids players ad-
vanced the pigskin to within two
feet of the Bemidji goal, when
Bemidji made a desperate rally and
got the ball away from danger, the
stand being by far the best play of
the afternoon.
Halves of thirty and twenty
minutes were played and neither
team could score.
The game ended with the ball in
Bemidji's possession, in the middle
of the field.
The local players are entitled to
congratulations on the splendid
showing they made under very un-
favorable conditions.

D. J. PRAUGHT SHOT WHILE

shot in the right wrist and breast,
and probably owes his life to the
fact that he was heavily clothed at

day. The locals realize that this
will be one of the hardest games
they will have this fall and the
coach is whipping the boys into
shape by several hours of hard
practice every afternoon and even
ing.
It is believed tibet Bemidji will
win the game with Grand Rapids
and that the team this year will
eventually win the championship of
northern Minnesota.
Professor Yeager, superintendent
of the Fosston schools, and Oliver
Nelson, coach, accompanied the
Fosston boys to Bemidji. In speak
ing of the game, Supt. Yeager said:
I'VE were never used better in cur
lives; and we were fairly beaten by
team that is better than our eleven,
at the present time. Later in the
season we may be able to give you
a better game. You have certainly
got fine high school eleven"
Frank Cunningham, manager of
the City Opera House, gave free
tickets to the visiting eleven to at
tend the show at the opera house
Saturday evening, and the local high
school boys are profuse in their
thanks to the genial Frank for his
kindly action in this matter.

MORE MEN WANTED TO END

For every woman who sought aid

bireau In New York city in the last
year, there were twelve men who
begged TO be delivered from self-dc-
struction. General Booth infers from
this unexpected ratio that women en-
dure sorrow more courageously than
men. This may be true, but two 9TH
or facts must be taken into account.
The large number of applicants be-

and the reasons impelling them to

easements or poverty. Why not con-
oludc from this that-~tht, women or
the middle classes, rarely bear the
brunt of economic warfare: that the
wives of tho middle class men are
somehow provided for In case thel,
husbands lose everything, and that In
the lower classes suicide is infreuuen.
among both sexes because great re.
verses OF fortune and lapses from
happiness are infrequent.
The truth Is, no compliments can
be passed to either sex on the
strength of suicide statistics. at most
1t may be said that so long as men
relieve their Trailer comrades of the
more strenuous tasks of life and n
chiyalrous spirit, promotes unsolicited
aid and consolation to afflicted women
