CITY BASKET
BALL TEAM TO
ORGANIZE SOON

The big Bemidg" basket ball team
will be organized soon, probably the
latter part of next week, and a quint
which will compare favorably with
the famous fives of 1913 and 1914
will seen in action. The armory will
be secured for practicing and for
games.
Plans are already being made to
arrange a strong schedule for this
season. The first game will be play
ed the latter part of this month.
The Bemidji team will be strong
and among the players who will try
out for positions are Paul Howe,
captain Of the 1914 Quint, Glen Peck
and c. NJ. lacobson, guards on the
1?13-14 quints, William Berrigan,
Remson Bell, DR.. J. w. Diedrich and
"Fuzz" Johnson. Several outside
players may be secured for the team.
Very few rules Of basketball have
been changed for the 1861 season,
according to the official guides which
have just been issued.
loOoOAy IhS IAVSS iii uPol SuAN
change is in the ground rules, which
provides that by 4 blackboard
must be used. 1t is not sufficient
to paint a rectangle on the wall as
the new rules place the boundary
line Of the court three feet from any
portion OF a building or spectators
stand
Running up the WALL, which has
been popular with many basketball
players, is forbidden and the new
ruling is adopted especially to pre-
vent this practice.
The athletic laws governing the Of
fetal of the games and the duties Of
captains have also been changed to
some extent but these are classed as
unimportant. Another rule of last
season has been discarded and on a
Jump ball" the players may now tap
the ball and turn and catch 1t If they
so desire, doing away with the neces-
sity of another man entering the play
before the jumper may again get into
action.
The wording of each rule has been
changed to some extent in order that
there will be less danger of misinter-
pretation. A few light restrictions
have been defined but no radical
changes made.

OFFICIAL RECOUNT
OF FHENNEPIN COUNTY
BALLOTS IS BEGUN
(By United Press)

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 16.-
With Charles Evan Hughes and
Woodrow Wilson running a neck and
neck race upon unofficial returns for
Minnesota twelve electoral votes,
the official post-mortem and inquest
over Hennepin county's popular votes
began today.
The official recount of the votes
of this county, the largest in the
state, was begun at the county audit
or's office. Great Importance being
attached to the figures from this
county, both parties had men pres
ent when the recount was made.
The great element of doubt is the
recount of this county. This county
has the largest vote of any in the
state and it is remembered that when
Ramsey (St. PauD county, the Sec
ond largest in the state, and st.
Louis (Duluth) the third largest
county in the state, were officially
canvassed, it resulted in a change in
the figures that netted Wilson $40
in Ramsey and 60 in ST. Louis. In
Red Lake county, the official count
helped Wilson a net Of 3S.
Leaders of both parties hope some
mistake can be found in Hennepin
figures. to help their candidates.
Owing to the fact that there was not
only the national and state election,
but also city election, the count
will proceed slowly, and probably
take four days.
