the proprietor of a hotel and buffet
at the corner of First avenue north

BEMIDU WINS AND LOSES
High School Second Team Defeats
Blackjack 80 to o, While Regulars
Are swamped by Grand Rapids.
BRANERD HERE SATURDAY

Visions of the northern Minnesota
high school football championship
were sent glimmering Saturday when
the Bemidji eleven was defeated by
Grand Rapids, the score being AZ to
o.
Until Saturday the Bemidji aggre-
CATION, under the able tutelage of
Coach Bestul, had swept away by
large scores all teams which had met
it's terrific attack, and went to Grand
Rapids determined to win from a
team which for years had been it's
chief rival on the gridiron, diamond
or basketball floor
The blue and white team was
weakened by the absence from the
lineup of three regulars, but had
they been in the game the result
would have been but little different
The Grand Rapids, players, aided by
splendid coaching, speed and perfect
knowledge Of the forward pass, con-
stitute team which in strength;
compares favorably with any in the
state. From the first blow of the
whistle the Bemidji boys were play
ed off their feet and Kribs, the
speedy Grand Rapids quarter, on re-
,ceiving forward pass during the
first minute Of play sprinted the en-
tire length of the field for a touch
down. Every Bemidji player seem
ed to be lacking in confidence and
it was only because of the work of
two or three men that the score was
not even larger. Carl Jacobson was
the Bemidji official.
While the first team was being
wiped in the dust at Grand Rapids,
the plucky second team, or scrubs,
battled with the Blackjack high
school team here and by clever for
ward passes, stubborn defense and
strong interference piled up score
of 80 to 0. The Bemidji boys were
outweighed, but fought gamely at all
times during the contest. Ralph
Lycan was the referee
The high school team will now
prepare for the Brainerd game which
is to be played here next Saturday.
