Pigskin Was Carried Over Field at
Will and Victory For Local Boys
Was Predicted Early.
GOVERNOR SAW SECOND HALF
Went to Fair Grounds After Finish
ing Speech to Farmers In High
: School Auditorium.

Fosston proved easy for Bemidji in
the first football game of the season
Saturday when the local boys took
their visitors into camp by the score
of SO to 0. The game was too one
sided to be exciting but the high
school roofing brigade, led by Hiram
Simons, managed to make things in
teresting at times.
Fosston was on hand early and the
game started without delay. Fosston
chose to kick off and Bemidji receiv-
ed the ball running it back several
yards. After the first three scrim-
IMAGES, it was seen that the Bemidii
boys had the edge on their oppon-
ents and it was but short time IN
til the ball was pushed over for
touchdown. The ball went over near
the sidelines which made the kick
difficult and Captain Bailey missed
goal.
the confidence they needed and the
rest of the game was succession Of
marches up the field for touchdowns.
Coach Carson uesd the opportunity
to place several substitutes in the
line so that they could get some valu-
able experience. At no time was the
Bemidji goal in danger.
Fosston braced several times as the
ball neared its goal line but was I'M
able to keep it from going over when
the entire Bemidji team would get
into the game. One touchdown came
| with the ball it's own length over the
line after Bailey had hurled his men
at the Fosston defense four times.
But one punt was served up during
the game and that by Fosston when
in danger of being held for downs.
During the second half, both teams
| worked back and forth in the middle
of the field neither being able to make
consistent gains over the other. Each
team would take a chance on line
buick or forward pass on fourth
down but would not punt. The Of
tense was usually held for downs.
The game was free of rough play
and the worst injury received was
when Titus bumped his nose and
started the blood. He was all right
in a few minutes and was out for
practice this afternoon. The referee
had some trouble with the new rules
but was usually set right by the UNI
pire.
Governor Eberhart was an inter-
ested spectator during the second
half. He told one of the officials
that the Bemidji girls impressed him
as being good rooters. He said they
rooted better than any group he had
| ever seen.
Fosston played Thief River Falls
week ago Saturday and beat the Thief
| River team by a score of IA to o..
| Word has come to the Bemidji boys
that Thief River intends to beat Be-
| midi next Saturday since that is the
only way in which it can make up
for the Foston defeat, especially as
Bemidii beat Fosston so badly.
| After the game Saturday, Mr.. Car
son said that all of the boys played
well for the first of the season but
i that the team has stiff work ahead
| of it. The backs have tendency
! to stay too high in the air while
charging and the line men do not
play low enough. The work of the
backfield Saturday was good but there
was too much individual play. More
| team work will be the drill this week.

WATER SUPPLY is LOW
Waste During Night Greater Than
Flow into Reservoir

The Bennington Water company
management is considerably worried
over the situation at the reservoir at
the present time During the severe
weather that continues to prevail, the
patrons of the company have persist.
ed in allowing their faucets to remain
open during the night, the result be,
ing condition that has some serious
features.
The supply of water in the reser.
yoir is on the decrease every day
There is water enough coming in to
supply all actual demands but there
is not flow enough to keep up with
the drain that prevails during the
night.
Unless the users of water close
their faucets during the night and
permit the reservoir to fill so that
there shall be sufficient supply or
hand for fire protection purposes, il
may be necessary for the company tC
shut down the service entirely dur
ing the night.
With the mills shut down over Sun
day the reservoir showed an increase
of but two inches over the figures Of
Saturday. With the faucets CLOSED
throughout the village during Satur
day and Sunday night there should
have been more than two feet of ad
diuonal water in the reservoir thi!
morning.

LAWYERS PLAN TO
BACK TAFT IN
HIS FIGHT
Organizing All Over Country In
His Behalf
TO FIGHT COL. ROOSEVELT
Lawyers Against Him Because Of His
Attacks on Judiclary-74 Delegates
For Taft s.

Washington, March 3.-One of the
strongest features of the Taft cam
paign it was announced today by Re
preventative Mckinley, director of the
Taft forces, will be the organization
of lawyers and business men in differ
ent sections of the country who are
eager to enter the National battle to
combat the doctrine of recall as enun-
ciated by Col Roosevelt.
Word that this will be done immed-
lately in many of the Eastern and
New England states has come from
many leading lawyers. 1t was the
recall plank in Col Roosevelt's Col
umbus speech which called into being
the Citizens committee of Fifty in
Philadelphia, which has been virtually
perfected and will be formally launch
ed next week A similar committee
will be formed in Pittsburgh next
week 10 promote the Taft campaign,
and the Duquesne club is expected to
indorse Taft, as will the Union Leag
ne in Philadelphia. The Union Leag-
ne has not Endorsed a Republican can
didate for president before the nomi-
nation had been made since Lincolns
time. and the announced purpose OF
that club OF leading Republicans to
support Taft is regarded by friends
of the president as very important In
the effect that it will have in Other
sections of the country.
The weekly summary Of the Repub
lican situation from the point of view
of the Taft managers, issued today
say;
1.-THE week just ended brought thir
ty more delegates into the Taft col
umn, all but four OF them instructed
and a contest threatened with REGARD
to the two delegates from the ThirC
Missouri district. Total number o
delegates thus far chosen, "a. Tota

gates involved in threatened contest

After the Taft claims had been pre-
scented, the National Roosevelt head
quarters tonight made public a state
ment disputing the claim of the Tai
bureau that the president has tn
support of Gov. Hooper OF Tennessee
Gov. eddie of Nevada, and Gov. Den
cen of Illinois. The Taft bureau
few days ago made public telegram
of Endorsement from several Republi
can governors, including telegram
/ from Gov HOOppr and Gov. Oddie. NJ
telegram had been received from &C

1t is not understood that CARRIER as
