for the second half might have been a
different story for Ely. But as the
game stood when the fading 1lumina-
ton stopped everything with four min
utes remaining in the second quarter,
Memorial high had kept the Blujackets'
power well surpassed while at the
same time Ely was giving Hibbing some
lessons in ball Juggling.
Coach Vern Miller will open his
scheduled Friday evening with Mem
orial high, so what the Tower-Soudan
boys pack in the way of scoring wallop
remains to be demonstrated.
The boys from the west end of the
Vermilion range have veteran aggre-
CATION, and a squad of 80 men turned
out for the opening practice sessions.
On it are II lettermen, just two less
than the Is performing for the local
school
While Ely has had a big edge in past
games between the two clubs, this
years contest, from present indica-
tons, may be a lot closer battle. Not
getting a really true test against Hib-
bling, Ely's club is still very much in
the formative stage.
Coach Smrekar says that there will
be very little change in the lineup for
Friday nights encounter Either Merlin
Thompson or Joe Omerza will start at
halfback, with both seeing action be-
fore the final whistle. Other starters
against Hibbing viii probably begin
the Tower contest.
For 20 minutes of the Hibbing fray,
the vermilion Ranger battled the Blue
Jackets to a standstil1, and for the
first time in the four-year series ap-
peared to have an upperhand in the
going on many occasions.
Spanked by the stellar backfeld per-
Torrance of Stanley Mestnik and John
Novak. the Elyites enmassed a total
of 70 yards from scrimmage as COM
pared to ONLY SEVEN for Hibbing.
Net yardage for Ely was 30, while
Hibbing had a negative quantity =
minus FOUR. They lacked four yards
of being even with the board, which
meant that they were genig backward

STATISTICS

faster than they were going forward
Hibbing didn't make a yard from
line plays during the initial quarter,
but connected on one pass for u
yards. In comparison Ely rolled I'D 80
yards through the line while fighting
a stiff wind, and equalled this perfor-
nance for the eight minutes played
during the second quarter until the
blackout ended hostilities. Hibbing
garnered yards during this time
Mestnik, on spinner plays, got loose
for two beautiful runs. One was good
for 10 yards, while the second piled
up "a yards. The latter planted the
ball on the Hibbing 25-yard line, where
Ely made its best scoring bid
Novak smacked the line for ) yards,
following which the lights went out for
the first time. When play was re-
sumed lateral from william Lebeau
TO Mestnik picked up 2 yards, and
Joe Omerza completed a pass TO Novak
good for z, and a first down on the
Hibbing 18-yard line.
Then Old Man Hard Luck reared
up his head as an Ely pass was in
tercepted by Brown of the Bluejackets
and he ran the ball back 43 yards 10
the Ely 43 before being brought down
The Jackets completed but one play
good for a single, when the lights
flickered out fer good.
What might have happened if the
game had gone the full time is moth
ing more than guess, but from the
frst-half performance Of Ely 1t can
be said that the Bluejackets were IN
danger of coming out on the short
end of the count.

There is more CAMERON birds to
deer-in the woods than any time for
a number of years, an Ely man, who
says he has covered great sections Of
the Superior National Forest this sum-
mer, declares.
This is true even down to mice,
gopherS, owls, and porcupines. he says
and he speaks from the experience OF
Sc years Of residence here.
He is unable to explain the reason
for the great increase in al kinds Of
wildlife, unless that it so happens that
this year the population cycle for all
species Of living things is at peak.
Duck Hunters can look forward to
the best shooting in five years, he
predicts. Declining to have his name
mentioned. he says that there are
more ducks in the Ely territory
than at any other time in recent
years.
There are more partridge, more
rabbits, more deer, and more bear,
he contends.
Rabbits. which have been relatively
scarce for the past two or three years
are on the way back.
Deer populations are at point where
a five-day season should be permit
ted, although the conservation depart
ment announced last week that state
law permitted open seasons only in
even numbered years. The 1899 leg

Holding a great moral victory over
Hibbing in a shortened opening game
that lasted less than two quarters,
Memorial high school viii take on
Tower Soudan Friday night under the
lights of the Ely Schools Stadium.
This is the second of the three home
games on the schedule. and the YER
million Rangers will not be seen in
action here again until Oct. 10.
What would have been the outcome
of the Hibbing contest had it gone the
full route is only guess, but up until
the time the flood lights went out,
Ely was definitely on its way to win
All the statistics, except yards gained
through punting, showed Ely on top,
and it may have been lucky night for
Hibbing when the current went off.
It also may have been a fortunate
thing for Coach Steve Smrekar's gang,

new FISH
TRUCKS ADDED
Conservation Dept. Working
on North Shore Trout
Rivers Now.

To provide faster service at reduced
cost, the conservation department this
week replaced six of its fleet Of Is
trucks in the fish propagation bureau
with equipment better adapted to dis
tribution of fry.
Norman l. Moe, supervisor Of fish
propagation, said the new vehicles all
are three quarter to one-ton pickups-
replacing worn out two-ton trucks and
half ton pickups.
Emphasizing that the propagation
division truck fleet travels more than
quarter-million miles year in serv-
ing the public, Moe said the new equip
ment VIII step up service.
Improvement IN the method Of trans
porting fry-using tanks instead of the
familiar cans-has made it possible to
distribute three to four times as many
fish Moe said.

WILL RESTORE
FISH STREAMS
Conservation Dept. to Step
Up Propagation Service
With New Equipment.

A stream improvement program to
restore various waters to their original
state as good fish habitat has been in
augurated by the department of con-
serVation.
The program, based on findings of
research techincians, will be directed
by Thomas R. Evans, University of
Minnesota graduate and recently asso-
ciated with the United States forest
service and the soil conservation SER
vice.
Evans will concentrate first on i'm
provement of trout streams along the
North Shore of Lake Superior.
Lake and stream survey crews,
meanwhile, continued their work to
secure fish management information
for the department.
The North Shore stream survey Is
rapidly nearing completion, with indi-
cations the work would be finished by
September Is. The survey of the st.
Louis river system around Floodwood
also was progressing favorably.

20 Men Seek Berths
on &c Football Team
3 College, 5 High School
.E Men Form Nucleus
of Club.

On the shoulders of three college
lettermen, five Memorial high GO
winners last year, and 10 or Il college
and former high school players of I'M
determined ability but plenty of "try''
rests the hopes of the 1871 college
Iron Men.
As if the slim amount of veteran
material were not enough, rainy
weather has further clouded the foot
ball picture, for the club has not been
able to conduct practice sessions on
schedule
The seasons opener is but ONE
WEEK from tonight, on a foreign
field, and with a club that has many
score to settle with Ely.
The Iron Men defend their half of the
Northern Junior College conference
crown at Hibbing next Thursday night.
They will engage a team that HAS
NEVER beaten Ely since it entered
the conference in 1889.
The Iron Men made their conference
debut at the expense of Hibbing, TO,
a defeat that rocked the Cardinals and
the rest of the circuit, and followed
by other victories, has kept it shak-
ing for two successive seasons.
Several high school lettermen who are
now college freshmen had not made up
their minds by the first of the week
about playing, and if they turn out the
picture may be altered somewhat.
During the time when rain did not
interfere Coach Ed Buckley put seven
backs through their PAGES. Three of
them are high school lettermen, while
the others have had pig skin Juggling
experience in varying degrees.
Jim Pete, Ed Grahek, and Roy john
son, who saw action in the Memorial
high backfeld last fail, reported for
college competition. Other candidates
for the backheld are Owen Childers,
reported to pack plenty of speed in
his two legs, William Anderson, Wayne
Bolitho, and Joe zaic. If Bolitho, who
concentrated on swimming while in
high school, can pillow through the line

Specla4 seasons.
Deer had good feed all last winter,
and entered the present spring and
summer big and fat, he declared Many
of the does had twin fawns, further
adding to population figures.
While deer have had ample pickings
for feed, not so with bears. It has
been tough Shedding for these big
black scavengers of the woods, especi-
ally during late summer.
Reason is that there was practi-
caIly no berry crop, a principal
source of food for bears.
Blueberries were nearly nil Ca fact
that Ely business firm handling can
ming supplies complained about some
time ago. It is surprising how many
fruit jars are sold to tourists, and to
local people as well, for blueberry can
ming, they say.) Other berries upon
which bears feed we're nearly as hard
to find.
As a result of this deficiency in
berries, bears have covered great areas
in search of food, and many Of them
have come to the borders of cities and
towns. That is the reason for the
present invasion of bears.
There is hardly a rotten log or
stump IN the woods that has not been
torn apart by bears searching for ants,
our informant says, to further testi-
by to the scarcity Of eats for Mr..
Bruin.
It is not unusual to see bear or
two on the Ely-Tower road. he con-
tinued. Employees of the Duluth Mis-
sabe & Iron Range Railroad can tes-
tify to the presence of bears between
here and Tower.
The story is told about two local
men coming to Ely from Tower on
the speeder. Passing through Tower
Junction, the two men were travelling
along when they spotted big black
bear on the tracks.
According to the story, which
could not be verified because the
men involved refused to talk, the
two men stopped the speeder with
out delay, and ran in one direction
as the bear took out-fortunateiy-
in the opposite direction.
Testifying to the punch" that MI
Bruin packs was the large hole in {
wire fence that was left by the anina
as it ran for cover in the woods.
