With Scoreless Tie Game

two teams were untangled, Dellaga,
right tackle for Virginia, had the ball.
After the opening quarter featured
by a 34-yard drive by Virginia to the
Ely Is where the Red and White first
displayed it's determination to stop the
Bluedevils by throwing them for two
losses totaling 8 yards and then taking
the ball on downs, the Queen City twice
drove to the shadows of the Ely goal
posts in the second period only to be
stopped cold.
The first time Virginia was on the Ely
5 with second and goal to go. Three
plays later Ely took the ball on downs
on the 9. The second time Virginia was
on the with first down coming up.
A line play lost yard and then a
pass to w. Pepelnjak, halfback, was
intercepted back of the goal line by
Mestnik for touchback. The ball was
given to Ely on the 20 and Mestnik
picked up yards as the half ended
Play was even in the third quarter,
and in the fourth the visitors got on
Ely's side of the field but once by
virtue of offensive action on their part.

session of the ball on their 40, and
then w. Pepelnjak uncorked a 29-yard
pass to Quarterback Rukavina to plant
the ball on the Ely 81.
Pepelnjak, who figured in nearly all
of Virginias drives, picked up II yards
in two attempts, and then let go
another pass that fell into the encirc-
ling arms of Roy Johnson on the 2-yard
line to break up Virginias final threat.
The rest of the game was marked by
Pepelnjak's repeated attempts to heave
the ball for a score, and Ely's re-
peated success in smearing the plays
for losses
Mestniks punting, in which he
averaged so yards per try, figured
largely in keeping the aggressive Queen

Ely Property Owners
Urged to Cooperate in
Fire Prevention Week

Ely property owners are being urged
to make Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6
to IL, time for inspection of homes
and business places to uncover any
hazards that might lead to disastrous
and costly destruction of property.
With winter just around the corner
too, the wise home owner will take
special precautions against destroyer
that waits for winter-fire.
Have your furnace inspected-and
have that inspection done by somebody
who knows what to look for. It's no
work for an amateur. Have needed re-
| pairs effected at once. See that CHM
neys and flues are properly cleaned
Hard-pressed heating plants in bad or
der are one of the most prolific sources
of home fires. It's no fun to wake ul
in the middle of the night and sud-
denly realize that your house is burn
| ing away beneath you.
Winter means that you'll use lights
oftener. Exposed electric wiring should
be checked. Pay special attention tc
| lamp COloo uliuci rugs anu dIOuIiO
baseboards-they fray in time, and
when that happens short circuit may
occur. Electricity, mishandled, is one
of the fires potent allies.
Go through your whole house and get
rid of any and all accumulations-olo
clothes, old papers and magazines, COL
lectionS of rags, etc. They make fine
starting place for fire-and spontan-
eous ignition isn't so rare phenomenon
as you may think.
Fire prevention week is carried on fol-
you-and for all the other people o.
this country. 1t is carried on for youl
business. 1t marks an intensive effor

to awaken the American people to the
terrible waste fire leaves behind it
and to show how fire may be conquered.
Fire Prevention Week is far more
than usually important this year. To-
day, largely due to the rearmament
drive, industrial production is on the
upward curve, and is slated to go
rapidly higher as the drive gains i'm
petus. And the record shows that She
danger of fire increases as production
increases That means that fire if not
controlled, can be a very real danger
to our defense plans.
Fire Prevention Week should be OBJ
served by all of us-by every man and
woman able to read and listen and
learn. This is one place where all old
and young can be of great aid to MAIN
tain beautiful and prosperous Ely.

bucks are dumped on the reservation

things but I had the support OF the

Determination Whips Superior
Offensive Power; Eveleth
Here Friday Night.

A team that wouldn't give up played
a superior club to scoreless tie Sat-
urday night under the lights on Mem
orial field. Out-charged and out-gained
from the start, the Ely gridders re-
fused to give ground when Virginia
moved the ball to scoring position.
Displaying a determination unseen
on Memorial field in many year, the
Elyites literally pulled themselves up
by their bootstraps to great moral
victory over the Queen City.
A Jump from the frying pan into the
fire lies ahead of Coach Steve Smrekar,
for tomorrow night he faces the un-
happy task of stopping the charges of
Eveleth's ge-championShip bound
aggregation.
Undefeated and scored on but once
in three starts, the Hilltoppers are
rated as the cream of the ranges, the
best football team of the year, and the
club to beat. But Coach Smrekar
doesn't seem worried about the Friday
night game, and he may pull a rabbit
or two out of his sleeve before the
evening is over. A couple of surprises,
a let-down on the part of Eveleth, and
little super-playing by Ely and the
experts may have their predictions
knocked into a cooked hat They may
anyway, for the Ely crew, while not
possessing any men of the year." has
plenty of talent to make tough even
ing for any range club.
That's what Virginia found out last
weekend, much to their dismay and
much to the delight of about 900 Ely
fans who cheered the boys on from the
new Memorial stadium.
After getting the pigskin onto Vir-
ginia's half of the field but once in
the first quarter and twice in the Sec
ond, all on long punts by Stanley
Mestnik, the Red and White came back
with a rush in the third period to give
the visitors lesson in the art of ball
carrying.
Following an exchange of punts,
Coach Smrekar's gang took the oval on
their 45-yard line and in five plays
planted it on the Virginia 20 as they
reeled off their three first downs of
the game. Mestnik and Ed Grahek hit
the line for 10 yards apiece, and pass,
Mestnik to End Ted Grahek, accounted
for Is.
Then came disaster, and what every
