GRAND RAPIDS TO PLAY
Bemidji Gridiron Warriors Pleased
By Announcement That Big
Game will be Played
ELEVEN HAS NOT DIsBANDED

Members of the Bemidji high
school foot ball squad are much de-
lighted over the announcement that
the Grand Rapids eleven has not dis
banded for the season and that they
are anxious to meet Bemidji Novem-
Der /. ~s.
With the withdrawal of the Grand
Rapids gone from the schedule the
outlook for successful season for
Bemidji was exceedingly slim, out
the decision of Coach Carson not to
abandon foot ball for the year is well
come news in Bemidji.
For many years the Grand Rapids
game has been the chief one of the
Bemidji schedule, and to play a sea-
son without it would be for Bemidji
what no game with Chicago or Wis
cousin would he for Minnesota. T.
The reason for the Grand Rapids
trouble was the fact that two of the
teams players were suspended be-
cause they played football with the
city team. Then followed the an
nouncement that the remainder of
the squad would not play without
them. The difference has evidently
been remedied for Coach Bestul last
evening received a telegram from
Grand Rapids requesting that Grand
Rapids be kept on the Bemdiji
schedule. *
