In fairness to all of our readers
may it be said that if you vote for
county division, the line will be just
where the County Division committee
placed it, which is IL miles north
of Red Lake, and not at the lakes.
You have no choice in fixing the line.
The line IS fixed and a vote for it
will establish the line as above stat
ed, vote against it will mean that

Game Here Armi.tice Day

Playing on a field wet with a
weeks rain, the Bemidji warriors
again demonstrated to Park Rapids
that Bemidji has a hard team to
beat. It was as an exciting game
as any of the spectators had ever
seen and was in doubt until the final
whistle was blown, with the score
20 to 7 in favor Of Bemidji..
Acting Captain Sullivan won the
toss and chose to receive the ball
and taking it on his own 25-yard line
ran it to the center Of the field be-
for he was finally stopped. Our
boys then began steady march
down the field and were not stopped
until they stood on Park Rapids one
yard line. 1t was on this last play
that Baney was ruled out Of the
game and Cline was sent in to take
his place. Park Rapids immediately
punted out Of danger but the steady
march began again and this time Be
midi was not to be denied, Bailey
taking the ball over for the first
touchdown of the game. Goal was
missed. Bemjdji's drawing first
blood only made Park. Rapids fight
with grim determination that makes
a real football game. Things began
to 20 wrong for Bemidji and they
could not seem to stand the smashing
of Gum and Grey, ark Rapids backs,
and on an off-tackle play Grey ran
SO yards for a touchdown, andding
another point moment later by
kicking goal. The half ended, Be

wild rejoicing on the west side Of the
field. ~ -'...,s 1
The second half was hard fought
but Bemidji began to exhibit their
superiority and marched right up the
field for their second touchdown,
Hickerson smashing off tackle. Bail
