The basketball game played at
the Coliseum last evening between
the Big Bemidg" and Deer River
teams resulted in a clean-cut victory
for the home team, the score being
Al to 6.
While the score was overwhelm.
ingly in favor of the big Bemidg,"
the game was not so one-sided as
might be expected, the visiting
players making the locals hustle, all
the time.
The visiting team showed con-
siderable team work, but their
encerted play was not as good as it
will be later in the season when they
have had more practice. There are
some old basketball men on the
team, notably Logee, who has
played in many fast semi-profes.
sional teams in other parts of the
country.
J. T. Blair of Deer River acted
as referee, and he is one of
the very best officials who has
ever been in charge here. His
decisions were fair and impartial,
and he watched every play. He
was given very able assistance by
Roy Lindsay, as umpire. Roy is
good.
From the start of the game Deer
River jumped in with their best
efforts, determined to give the local
team "a run for the money! The
play was very fast, and it was some
moments before the Bemidji players
struck their gait. Brown, at center,
was everywhere, and he played one
of the very best games he has ever
put up here. Harry Cell was also
in fine form. The half ended 10 to
2, in favor of big Bemidg." John
son, for tbs visitors, threw nice
field basket, in this half.
Big Bem1dg" started very fast in
the second half, and the scores came
very rapidly, Cell being especially
proficient in throwing baskets. He
finished the game with rs points to
his credit.
The balance of the local team all
played good ball, indicating that as
the season advances they will be
very strong.
The game this evening will prob
ably be another warm contest, and
the play is such as to deserve the
patronage Of all lovers Of the game.
Joe Markham has decided to play
again, and he will be in his old
position at forward, with Captain

|, Resolved, That as members of
the association we use our best
efforts individually and collectively
with the members of the legislature,
laying before their consideration this
matter at the next session of that
body, be it also,
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting, that it would be in
line with, the best thought of educa-
tors that a nigh school be estab-
lished in connection with the college
of education at tie state university
for the better fitting of instructors
for the high schools of the state, and
that we earnestly urge this upon the
board of regents of the university
and place it for consideration before
the members of the legislature
The next annual meeting of the
association will take place in
Bemidji.
The following officers were elected:
President, P. M. Larsen of Cass
Lake; vice president, Cora Crawford
of Park Rapids; secretary, Anna
Shetland of International Falls; cor
responding secretary, A. P. Richie
of Bemidji. There are at present
800 members of the association,

powers.
From this time on, the crowd
awaited the knockout punch that
Ketchel was apparently withholding.
In the ninth Papke was sent totter-
ing across the ring and nearly
went to his knees by a powerful
blow delivered in clinch. He
arose to meet Ketchel's right which
twice landed in jaw. Papke went
to his corner bleeding freely from
his nose. This was the beginning
of the end. In the following round,
Papke twice turned his back on
Ketchel's swift assaults and DELHI
erately ran away.
In the eleventh and final round
Ketchel came up as fresh and strong
as at any time during the fight. He
tapped Papke lightly on the jaw and
then rushed him half across the ring,
planting two hard rights to the
stomach. A moment later as they
broke out of a clinch Ketchel swung
the left at three quarters length,
landing squarely on the point of the
chin. Papke stuck the floor at full
length, his head rapping the floor
with terrible force. He had just
enough strength to regain his feet
and while he crouched in an attitude
half protected, Ketchel sent his
right to the head four times in quick
succession and almost pushed Papke
over with a left hook. Pa PIKE
dropped and fell forward on his
knees, his hands supporting him and
his head bowed as if in agony.
Referee Jack WEIGH counted II, as
also did the timekeeper and then

ringside and toppled through the
ropes, wrapped in a close embrace.
1t was left to the stomach that
sent Papke to the ropes at this juno
ture. In falling Papke seized his
opponent and the force of his rush
carried them clear off the platform
and over the heads of the spectators.
A hundred willing hands assisted
them to the center and in a moment
they were graphing in a clinch.
Ketchel was a victor throughout.
His appearance during the early
rounds did not tend to encourage
those who had backed him at odds
of 10 to 7 and 10 to E, but his awk-
ward delivery of fast blows seemed to
lull Papke into a false sense of
security. In the first round, Ketchel
drove Papke into a neutral corner,
landing right and left almost at will
and thereafter the Illinois contender
was always at a disadvantage.
Stepping aside at critical junctures,
Ketchel swung his right time and
time again flush upon his opponents
jaw, now and then alternating with
left drives to the body. In the
fifth round Ketchel drove a hard
left to the stomach of Papke, who
did not put up his hands before he
encountered a hard right to the jaw.
Before this, in the fourth round, a
light tap on the nose had brought
blood from Papke that started the
crowd yelling for the Michigander.
It was in the seventh that Ket-
chel used his right to the greatest
advantage. Papke's only hope lay
in his disposition to clinch, but he
was hit twice and both blows
tended to lessen his recuperative

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
FAVOR ANOTHER NORMAL
North Central Minnesota Educators Adopted Resolution to
that Effect.-Next Meeting Of the Association Will
Be Held in Bemidji. So

Park Rapids, Nov. 27.-The re-
cent meeting Of the North Central
Minnesota Teachers association,
which convened here for seve4 ID
days, was the most interesting SEES
sion of the association in the history
of the organization.
The attendance was the largest
recorded and the papers and lectures
delivered by the different instructors
seemed to be impressive and brought
to light many new ideas as regards
the manner of caring for different
subjects and classes.
The following resolutions we're
adopted:
Whereas the primary means of a
more efficient system of education
lies in the constant improvement of
the teaching force; and,
Whereas, the calls for the best
practical, as we'll as theoretical train
ing of prospective teachers; be it,
Resolved, That we most earnestly
advocate the ablishment of a sixth
normal school to be erected at some
convenient place in North Central
Minnesota, in order to take care of
the rapidly growing educational
necessities of this section of the
state, be it further,

Cass Lake, Nov. 27.-(Special to
Pioneer. )-Harry Fields, a colored
man, was killed near Schley by the
local freight train going east yes

Fields entered the caboose of the
train before it left here, yesterday
morning, and being without funds,
was refused passage. He was in an
intoxicated condition and left the
caboose. He was not heard from

Schley. Then the train crew noticed
that the train was not moving as it

and he made several good gains
around the ends, charging hard and
plunging to good effect.
In one of the mix-ups, c.. Gould
grabbed the ball after a tumble, and
with a clear field started for the
soldier goal. Stewart, one of the
fastest sprinters in the state, started
in pursuit and downed Gould ten
yards from the goal. This was the
only time that the big fellows goal
was in real danger.
The school players went into the
mix::ups with splendid courage, little
Johnnie Mcdonald being at the
bottom of nearly every mix-up. He
was lightning fast and tackled hard
and sure. He played fine game.
Near the end of the first half
Stewart broke away from left end
and made touchdown for the mill
tia, but the ball was brought back,
it being claimed that there was hold
ing in the line.
The half ended with neither side
being able to score.
In the second half, the militia
boys made touchdown, after some
hard line-bucking and end runs,
Lucas failed to kick goal.
The touchdown came after the
school eleven had lined up for a
punt by Huffman. Huffman stood
on the goal line and when he kicked
F.dd broke through and blocked the
punt, and fell on the ball behind
the goal.
The remainder of the half was a
pushing bee" for the militia boys,
who got within striking distance of
the school goal several times, only
to lose the ball by tumble or being
held. Huffman twice kicked the
ball out of danger, and when time
Was called the ball was in possession
of the militia, in school territory.
All of the players on both teams
played we'll, considering the slippery
condition of the ground, and also

Bemidji has two good elevens,
the high school, team being one of
the best of it's class in the north
half of the state; and it is conceded
that the militia team, with proper
coaching and practice, is the peer of
any in northern Minnesota.
The work of the officials was
generally satisfactory, although the
soldier boys we're inclined to COM
