Hard Workouts Each After

With East Grand Forks
FINE SCRlMMAGE HELD
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Two Candidates on SidelineA,
" Cripple Team Somewhat
for Opening Game

With one more week in which, to
master fundamentals, learn signals
and perfect simple formations, the
Bemidji high school football team
will 60 into action Saturday against
the heavy East Grand Forks eleven
on the local gridiron. .sH.
Since the squad began practice the
candidates have been drilled in fun
damentals. They have been shown
how imperative it ia to follow the
ball, to be able to fall on the oval.
and they have been taught the var
ious forms of blocking, including the
pivot. They have been shown how
to- carry the ball and the absolute
necessity OF carrying 1t in the out
side arm when driving off the tack
les Of running the ends. The stiff
arm and the fade away sidestep also
have been drilled into the backs.
while the linemen have been i'm
pressed with the Importance OF mix
ing in every play. ~
Details of this nature are not con-
sidered by the average football fan.
The great majority are eager to see
the spectacular, but they do not take
into consideration the time and work
it takes on the part of the coaches
make spectacular individual feats
possible. On every play in which
ball carrier is expected to get loose,
each Of the other ten men has GER
tain duty to perform. II any of these
players slight their particular work,
the play is failure. This is the
reason why every coach tries to get
eleven men in every play.
Scrimmage went thru in fine style
yesterday in spite Of the chilly
weather. The mon were given turns
on the offensive side Of the line and
the plays which will form the basis
Of the Bemidji attack in the East
Grand Forks game on Saturday were
given a good try out. The regulars
had little trouble breaking thru OFF,
tackle and getting loose around the
ends. The practice was also livened
up with drill in blocking and tackle.

date for the right halfback position,

his side and Almond Tharaldson

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Great Britain
is threatened with one of the greatest
industrial upheavals in her history,
with coal miners already on strike,
forcing out of employment thousands
of other workers, while railroad and
transport men have prepared an ulti-
matum to the government threatening
strike of more than three million
men in triple alliance" if the
striking miners are not given the de-
sired increase and negotiations re-
sumed.
Railway workers executives have
issued strike orders effective Sunday
at midnight unless countermanded.
Transport threat was less definite,
calling for action toward settlement
within "a hours.
The "Triple Alliance" comprising
miners. transport workers and rail-
road men, is regarded as the most
powerful labor organization in the
world, capable of stopping all British
industry if it desires.
Parliament is expected to consider
the labor situation. Having voted
confidence in Lloyd-George in admin
istration of Irish affairs, the house of
commons, it is believed, will follow his
views on/the labor problem.
