given any definite word on the

In a recent exchange of letters
with John Boettiger, the Presidents
son-in-laW, Elliott Roosevelt said
that when his father reached a de-

Elliott Roosevelt earlier had said

Mr.. Roosevelt might have something
to say about the 1910 campaign if
he makes a trip across the country

planned tentatively to attend the
San Francisco Fair.

One of the Years Screen
Hits at the Ely Theatre.

Goodbye, Mr.. Chips" James Hilton'S
charming novel of the life of an Eng
lish school teacher, starts Saturday
midnight with Sunday and Monday
showings at the State Theatre, in the
long-awaited screen adaptation, which
brings to audiences, following his
triumph in 1.-THE Citadel" Robert
Donat, together with Greer Carson,
beautiful English actress.
Third of the pictures filmed in M-G-
Ms English studios, Goodbye, Mr..
Chips" tells the story of kindly
schoolmaster, starting his career in his
twenties, becoming veritable insti-
tuition in a big English school and
shaping the careers of boys destined
to become great men. AS ''The Citadel"
dealt with medical ethics, so the new
picture goes deeply into the heart of
education.
Donat brings deep understanding to
the role, which carries him through
four periods. His makeup is enhanced
by the psychology which makes the
character fairly live at each stage. Miss
Carson is compelling, skillful actress
as well as beautiful. Terry Kilburn, the
appealing youngster of Lord Jeff"
and "a Christmas Carol" has an in
teresting role, playing four generations
of boys who attend the school, grow
up, and send their sons back.
Dramatic highlights include the rescue
of the heroine in the Tyrolean Alps and
a spectacular air raid during the World
War, with football and cricket games at
famous English schools adding thrilling
and exciting moments. Skillful human
interest touches are supplied in the
deft direction of Sam Wood.

Virginia Turns Back Ely
in Holly Contested Battle

pass heaved from the Virginia 9-yard
stripe was intercepted in the end zone
by j. Rukavina, Virginia halfback.
Sweeping gains by Prola and Willie
Grahek, halfback, advanced the ball
from the Virginia As to 9. A 15-yard
penalty assessed Virginia also figured
in on the drive.
Three cracks at the line failed to
gain any yardage, and then the pass
that was grabbed by Virginia followed.
An Ely tumble of a punt gave the
Queen City its first crack at the Ely
goal line as Virginia man recovered
on the Ely 20-yard line. A drive
through the line Melted 5 yards, and
then pass from Halfback Ray Fraboni
to End Shaw planted the pig skin on
the one-foot line.
Fraboni drove through left guard for
the marker. The kick for the extra
point was muffed but Fraboni grabbed
the ball and heaved it to Halfback Ness
who ran it over.
An intercepted Ely pass paved the
way for the second score, the Queen
City getting the ball on the Ely 30-yard
line Driving the ball to the Is and
first down on two plays, Virginia
gained but two yards on the next three
as the Ely line held tight.
Then Fraboni spotted Ness in the end
zone and tossed a pass into his waiting
arms for the score. On fake place
kick Rukavina ran the ball over tc
make the score 14-0.
Ely came back brilliantly in the Sec
ond half but couldn't produce the neces-
sary points. Ely outgained Virginia

Comes Through Game With
1916 Advantage; Falls to
Play Here, Oct. IL.

The Ely high school football team
lost holly contested game at Virginia,
Friday night, IA to 6. Old Man Dis
aster, who put in his appearance at the
Coleraine game the week before,
brought along all his relatives to the
Queen City tussle.
Sporting a 14-0 advantage as the
second half got under way, the Blue
devils weather a trrrific offensive on
slaught on the part of Coach Smrekar's
club to retain an 8-point lead as the
game ended.
Marking up eight first downs and 50
yards gained to no first downs and ID
yards for their hosts, the Ely crew just
couldn't produce the stuff to score
more than once.
Ely has an open date, Saturday, but
the game the following weekend at
International Falls has been moved up
to Wednesday, Oct. II, and will be
played on Memorial field at p. m.
The changing of the game from the
Falls to Ely cheated the local club out
of it's best opportunity in years of de-
feating the Border City team on its own
field, something no other local team
has ever been able to do. Similarly the
Falls has never whipped Ely on its field
and from all appearances thereu be
no records broken this year.
In the initial game of the season fol
both clubs, Virginia defeated Interna-
tional Falls, 80 The next week Gill
bert turned the trick, 20-7, and last
weekend Biwabik dropped the Border
City, 14-0. All three of the Falls op'
ponents are in the undefeated class t.
