Bemidji's Hu.kie. Have Fine
Chance for High School I:
Championship

Before a large crowd of enthusiast,

High school foot ball team defeated
the Detroit high school eleven on the
local 5gridiron yesterday afternoon by
the overwhelming score of TITO 0.
. -, The weather was not the most fav-
orable for fast football. A. warm sun
was shining; but{a slight breeze serv-
ed to keep the athletes in playing
trim. The breeze was not sufficient
however, to interfere with the kick
ing Or the passing. :. -. 4
Bemidji adopted a line plunging
game most OF the time, varying vt
with the forward, pass sufficiently to
keep Detroit guessing a bit on defen-
sive tactics. The Bemidjir passes net
ted comfortable gains at times, but
the unsuccessful ones were due more
to overthrows of the pass than to in
reference by the. rivals. Detroit
showed a good working knowledge of
the pass and gained several times
thru well executed plays of this va,
riety. The locals were on the alert
and Intercepted several of the long
aerial chances taken by Detroit, o.
son scoring touchdown on one occa-
sion.se -, T.. ~; =. .E Hi T., ,~, :.
Although showing improvement,
Bemidji's play was, as mad been an
ticipated, ragged and uneven. The
worst fault Of the, locals was that
ever-prcYalent early season defect OF
funbling, the fatlure of the backs to
approximate. the work the present
rllessrequire Of them In interference
and defensive work nd slow starting,
fswllsnE On ths Intensive They are not
lobe criticized at all for any of their
4fauftss as, general results considered
they did Extremely. we'll. Bemidji's
greatest weakness seemed to be in
the slow formation of interference
and a lack of.follow thru in the same
part OF the game. The backs and
ends picked their men and hit them
but seemed to, DO it more with the
scrimmage idea than the finality de-
nanded' by play. The opponents were
frequently momentarily blocked but
not put out of that particular play.
This. though will come with more
practice and experience. -"

ST. LOUIS APPEARANCE
RATHER COMPLICATED
Charges. That America Was
Kept Out of War for
Political Reasons
(By United Press.)

St. Louis, Oct. 16 (by Raymond
Clapper, en- route with Senator Hard
ing) off on the last leg of his
present speaking trip, Senator Hard
ing today faced heavy day of rear
end speeches throughout Indiana and
Illinois on his way to st. Louis, where
he speaks tonight.
Because Of the split in the repub-
lican organization in Missouri, Hard
ing's schedule was SO arranged that
he gets into st. Louis shortly after
z o'clock tonight, just in time for his
speech, and leaves Immediately after
ward for Marion. His appearance in
St. Louis is rather complicated be-
cause of the fact that it is the home
of Jacob Babler, the national COM
mitteeman for Missouri, who figured
in the pre-convention financing Of the
presidential boom for Lowden, of
Illinois. The national republican
Icommittee, since Babler did not re-
sign, gave the active management of
the campaign in Missouri oyer to
State Chairman Hughes.
Harding is now aiming for an anti
Wilson bludgeon in many directions.
He is swinging it hard at the failure
of the administration to enter the
world war earlier. He deliberately
charged in his indianapolis speech
that America was kept out of the
war for. political purposes and for
the sake Of winning the election thou
sands of American lives were sacri-
feed on the battle fields of France.
Speaking with visible emotion,
Harding charged this was betrayal
of American manhood, and before he
was through some of the women in
the audience were wiping tears away.
He got into this phase of the at
tack after denying the charge made
in recent speech by William G.
McAdoo that he favored compulsory
military training, only the peace
stand of military training in America
must be voluntary. Harding said the
statement being used against him
now is one made during the war
when the administration was refusing
to permit Theodore Roosevelt to
take volunteers into France.

Says Only Death Will Prove
His Case Definitely
WAS NOT ALLOWED ~
GLIMPSE OF INTERIOR
Food Is Kept at Bedside But
1t Is Claimed Lord-Mayor
Does Not Partake

|. Inc OnlCed freSS assigned Webb
Miller, of the London staff, to make
personal investigation of the cir
cumstances under which Lord-Mayor
Terrence MacSwiney, of Cork, is
continuing his hunger strike in
Brixton> prison. This was done in
view of the fact that no man has
ever before gone without food for
sixty-four days and many believing
such a prolonged fast impossible.
Following is Miller's report on his
investigation.
by Webb Miller, copyrighted 1920
by United Press.)
London, Oct. 16.-"Death only can
or will prove definitely whether Ter
renee MacSwiney is fasting his life
away or whether he is taking nour-
ishment in the hope that some turn
Of facts will release him from prison
without making him laughing stock.
He'has accomplished sixty-four day
fast thus far. Friends and relatives
when questioned declared that the
only sustenance given MacSwiney
has been the sacred host.
In communicating with prison Off
Gals and attaches of the home office
they refused to talk, declaring it is
the policy Of the government to MAIN
tain silence. Irish officials admitted,
however, that if this government
were able to obtain evidence of feed
ing, they would doubtless be glad to
announce it to the world in the hope
of belittling the mayor.
Heavy police guards held news
paper men at the gate Of Brixton
prison. II was unable to cajole them
into allowing me a glimpse of the
interior. At the home office I was
received courteously but with the
imperturbable statement that moth
ing could be said regarding Mac
Swiney.
Muriel MacSwiney, the lady mayor
ess, talked with me in behalf of rela-
tives. She talked impressively of her
husbands death as a thing assured
and showed no signs Of worry and
grief, only inasmuch as that there
should be doubt as to her husbands
course in carrying out the death
strike.
1--WE would not be able to feed
Terry even if we wanted to do it,"
she declared. "Prison officials watch
us too closely. One Of US is at his
bedside day and night. They keep
food at the bedside, milk and bread,
in sight at all times in the hope that
he will yield. Besides what would
be the use Of feeding now. It would
only keep him alive few days. He
has given up all hopes of release and
is determined to continue his fast
until death. His eventual death will
prove to the world that his will has
not weakened"
Prison physicians are doing every
thing to keep MacSwiney alive, his
wife said. His room is kept at a high
temperature and his emaciated body
is packed in hot water bottles and
bathed three times day. Careful
examinations are made and reports
Of his condition filed with the home
office. The physicians have issued a
warning to his relatives not to excite
the man,
