BEMIDl HIGH TO PLAY
THIEF RIVER TOMORROW

What promises to be one Of the
best football games of the present
season for Bemidji, as far as hard
opponents are concerned, will be
played by the Bemidji high school
eleven at Thief River Falls tomorrow
afternoon. Efforts were made on
the part of the Bemidji coach to
postpone the, game until Saturday
afternoon on account Of the injuries
received by players at Duluth nearly
two weeks ago, feeling that every
day would help the boys greatly
However, Thief River Falls would
not agree to this change and as a
result the game will be played as
scheduled .3e,
The Bemidji team leaves this af-
ternoon on the $40 500 train. Just
which players will make the trip has
not been announced, since several
of the backfield are still suffering
somewhat from injuries received in
the Duluth game. 1t is quite likely
that several players, other than the
regular lineup, will be used in the
game Tomorrow.
Thief River Falls has a strong
aggregation this year and is out to
defeat Bemidji as badly as possible
However, it is expected that the Be-
midi eleven will give the Thief Riv-
er boys a real contest and it is quite
likely that Bemidji may win, consid-
erng the showing made against the
Duluth Cathedrals week ago last
Saturday.

is to run As = serial in the Daily

The platform. aside from de-
nouncing the ku klux Khan and
accusing the democratic party OF
