GOPHERs DOWN BAD GERS
Minnesota Causes Sensation BY I'm
expected Victory Over Wisconsin
Final Score IA to 8.
DIVERSIFIED ATTACK FEATURES

Opening up after the first half
with diversified attack that at times
fairly bewildered their heavier op-
ponents. the University of Minnesota
Saturday defeated the University of
Wisconsin IA to 8. The game was
replete with spectacular forward
passes, driving line plunges and ex-
cellent punting.
The lead established by Wisconsin
in the first period, when Bellows
kicked a field goal from the 25-yard
line was maintained until the latter
part of the third quarter. Then a
lond forward pass, Hamilton to Quist,
resulted in Minnesota's first touch
down. In the fourth period Hamil-
ton intercepted forward pass, zig
tagging around left end and dashed
70 yards to the goal for the Gopher's
second touchdown. The playing of
Scion, M1nnesOta's speedy fullback,
was remarkable. Time after time
he was called upon to pound against
the rigid Wisconsin line, often break
ing through for effective gains.
Hamilton, Bierman and Dietrich
We're the other Minnesota stars,
while Bellows, Cummings, Smith and
Kreuse played quite as we'll for the
invaders.
During the first period both teams
held hard to straight football and the
advantage clearly was with Wiscon-
sin, who kept the ball in Minnesota
territory throughout. -,
Minnesota strengthened consider
ably in the second period, forcing the
play from the opening, when a spec
tacular 3O-yard forward pass, Hamil-
ton to Scion, made the visitors some
what nervous and uncertain. Min
nesota then began an attack, even
more vicious than that of Wisconsin
in the initial period From then on
it was all Minnesota.

MAY STOP SUNDAY TRAIN
Officials of Great Northern Consider
ACCESSIBILITY Of Making Change in
Duluth Grand Forks Passenger.
MAY CONTINUE IT TO M1N0T

With the many time table changes
which are being made by the Great
Northern railroad on it's main line
and other branches, Bemidji is not
to be overlooked and there is posi-
bility that the two Sunday day trains
operating between Grand Forks and
Duluth may be discontinued.
Two schemes are being considered
by the officials said w. w. Lloyd,
agent here, s&flis morning. The other
plan Is to continue running the Sun
day train, but to lengthen the run to
Minot, a distance of 2O6 miles west
from Grand Forks. This plan would
be adopted because of changes
which have already been decided.
The trains Bemidji will lose if the
first plan is carried out will be pas

every Sunday at 1908 for Duluth,
anu NO. % WHICH ledFeS bemiuJl LII
Grand Forks at 3:17 in the after
noon. These two trains have been
operated for many years, starting
soon after the railroad was COM
pleted. ~.
Bemidji people are anxious that
the Minot change be accepted as the
Sunday trains, running as they do
now, prove a great advantage to the
travelling public and provide the city
with an efficient mail service.

DEATH TAKES L. c. Err YIN
One Of Minnesota's Foremost Citizens
Dies at His Home in St. Cloud
After Lingering Illness.
SON A BEM1Du BUSINESS; MAN

After an illness which has caused
his condition to remain critical for
many months, H G.. Erwin. of st.
Cloud, for years one of Minnesota S
most prominent and successful bust
ness men, died at his home early Sun
day evening, death being caused by a
complication of diseases.
Mr.. Erwin, who is survived by his
wife and four children, one being
Thomas S., of this city, has resided
in Minnesota since 1887, going to
Faribault at that time from Philadel-
phia. He was born in the Quaker
City on the seventh day of Novem-
Der, 1850, being few days past "a
on the day of his death.
In 1882 Mr.. Erwin became con-
nected with the John Wesley COM
pany of Philadelphia, remaining with
them until 1887 when he went to
Faribault to accept the management
Of the George Carlson -four mills
One year later he moved to st. Cloud,
where he has resided since, taking
charge of the Carlson interests in
that city In 1902 he purchased
what was known as the City Mills,

pervision, has grown and expanded
until at this time it is one of the
largest concerns of it's kind in the
northwest. The Beltrami Milling &
Elevator company, established four
teen years ago in this city, forms a
branch of the Erwin milling inter
ests.
Mr.. Erwin was married in 1888,
taking as his bride Miss Mary Sap
pington, a Philadelphia girl The
four children born to them are,
Thomas S. Erwin, manager Of the
Beltrami Milling and Elevator COM
pany of this city; H. c.. Erwin, Jr,
LududScI VI Luc Of. ClOlu go HILLS,
Kingsley, a student at Williams col
lege in the east, and Miss Frances, of
ST. Cloud.
AS a resident of st. Cloud Mr.. Err
vim has always been leader in mat
tiers of civic welfare, successful
and highly regarded business man
whose advice was always considered
as absolutely reliable, and a man
loved by all who knew him because
OF his perfect citizenship: t-s
While funeral plans are not COM
plete, it is expected to be held from
the residence in St. Cloud Wednes-
day -

London, Nov 16.-Battle follows
battle in the great struggle in North
east France and Belgium, but not
withstanding the heroic efforts OF both
the allies and the Germans the mill
tary situation there apparently has un-
dergone no noteworthy change in the
last twenty-four hours. First one side
has gained ground and then the other
has taken it back. The reported cap
ture of Dixmude by the allies appears
to have been premature, for advices
from the battle front say all attempts
of the Germans to advance beyond
Dixmude seemingly have been in vain.
Official and unofficial reports con-
corning the situation in Flanders seem
to agree that the force Of the German
assaults on the allies line disputing
the way to Dunkirk and Calais has
lessened and the feeling is growing in
England that the coveted base for an
invasion of England never will be
gained by Germany.
Paris officially reports that from the
sea to the River Lye the German &C
ton has become less keen AID that at
some points the allies have assumed
the OFFENSIVE, making progress south
of Bixschoote and retaking hamlet
east of Ypres.
Whole Country Made Furnace.
Constant artillery fire in this region
has converted the surrounding country
into furnace, in which factories,
churches and houses are burning.
A British official report says that in
the tremendous action which preceded
the recent attacks on Ypres by the
Germans, the British were under
heavy artillery fire, which died away
to be succeeded by fruitless infantry
onslaught.
AS the allied armies have resumed
the offensive at various points there is
reason to believe Dixmude may again
be the center of savage fighting. In
the Argonne, according to the French
official statement, fighting has recon-
menced with greater spirit and often
sive movements by the Germans in
the vicinity: of Verdun have been
checked.
