OkIafiOn,an Already
Planning 1912 Trip
to Minnesota Lakes

To R. L. Porter OF Chandler, Okla.
belongs the distinction of being the
first 70 ask the Minnesota state tour
ist bureau for aid in planning the fish
ing trip for 1912.
Porter had barely returned home
from spending two weeks in Mime

bureau the following letter:
Having Just returned from Mime
sofa and not having had the time 70
see it all, our party of four plans to
spend another two weeks in your state
next year. Thanking you in advance,
I remain one tourist that sure likes
your state"
Not only does Minnesota's outdoors
appeal to the tourist but here is one
who lands the salesmansfip both of
the bureau and the resort opertors.
Mrs. Erwin Pfngstag of SilVerton,
Ohio, recently wrote the bureau:
This IS just note in appreciation for
the response to my request for in
formation concerning mentioning In

surprised at all the literature We re-
ceived. Please thank all your various
resorts for being so prompt and for

Ed HAAPANIEMI QUITS
As SWIMMING COACH

but he is attempting TO be placed IN
the middlewest.
This summer the former Virginia
high school star norman completed
work for masters degree in physical
education at New York university. He
will be granted the degree probably
sometime this fall.
After high school competition, Haa-
pauiemi attended Gustavus Adolphus
where he starred on the varsity team,
and later acted as the first full-time
coach at the Institution. While at
tending school he not only competed
in meets but acted as student coach.
Haapaniemi came here in the fall
of 1899, succeeding Max Herseth, who
resigned. His initial team won four
meets, tied one and lost four (to Viz
ginia and Hibbing, twice. Last year the
team won four and lost five.

FOOTBALL!
Yes, sir, football.


Yes, sir, football.
Official practice for Memorial high

Buckley, physical education director
told The Miner.
Issuing of suits began this week, al
though it was expected that most OF
the candidates would not secure their
moleskins until the first Of next week
Coach Steve Smrekar viii handle
the practice sessions, and it appears
probable that he will continue in
charge Of high school athletics, with
Buckley serving as mentor for the
junior college. The school board viii
meet next week TO decide on this and
other teacher problems.
Junior college football will not start
until Sept. ?, Buckley said. Confer
ence regulations prohibit practice until
after school begins.
The high school viii practice twice
daily, at a. N and p. m. Smrekar
said. Physical examinations for can
didaces will be conducted as soon as
school COnVenes.
Thirteen IetJermen are expected TO
report 70 Smrekar, giving Memorial
high the nucleus for a powerful club.
They include Louis Janesich, William
Kun. George EnQuist, and Stanley

Leo KuZna, center; Gerald Johnson
and Herbert Kermit, tackles, and Louis
Senta, Stanley MeStnik, Sheldon

Bob Watts, manager OF the Wilder
ness firm, declares that the Providence
man hit the nail on the head in de-
scribing what makes canoe trips SO
appealing.
1T isn't the uneventful ones that
are the most successful" Watts de-
cIared. when there is plenty of
trouble to make subject matter for
winter story telling, then the trip is
considered the most attractive"
The letter, IN part, follows:
IN 1885 my brother, father, and
myself had a thoroughly miserable
time On a canoe trip for which you
it, I HAVE NEVER HAD A MORE
ENJOYABLE VACATION. Conse-
quently, I would like to try similar
trip again.
This time I shall be accompanied
only by my wife, who is eager to ex-
perience such a vacation As we are
both decidedly tenderfeet, feel that
the trip should not be too difficult,
yet We feel that it should be arduous
and varied enough to be interesting.
Moreover, it should be through country
that provides fair fishing, preferably
bass or wau-eyed pike"
Two St. Paul men last week were
padding a canoe to their cabin on
the south end Of Crane lake when
their craft began to ill with water
whipped by a gusty wind.
The men attempted to bail out the
water, but it came in faster than they
could dump it out. One of the men
conceived the idea that if they turned
the canoe over il would trap a Ger
tain amount Of air under it and would
float easily.
They took this means of getting
out ftheir predicament, and chung
TO the overturned craft for an hour
and a half before the fifth boat that
passed them picked them up.
The men used good judgment in
protecting themselves in this manner,
and because of their cool-headed de-
cision a possible tragedy was averted

Tall
i innber

The two Duluth school teachers who
objected 70 Marty" about the IN
sanitary condition of canoe camp
grounds on the Lake One TO Frazier
Lake route can now thank the q. S.
forest service for having made a Wig
orous attempt to remedy the situa-
ton.
Ernest Bailey and Helmer Lepisto,
the new fire wardens patroling the
border, have gone over the entire
route and cleaned up the camps.
They also contacted "a canoe
parties, yes "a, and gave each
pertinent suggestions on how to
keep his camp neat and tidy.
Now the question arises, did the
Duluth teachers clean up the mess
they found, or did they leave it for
the next party to take care Of? The
party Immediately following the Du-
luthians probably roundly scored
them for leaving the camps Uttered
with fish heads, entrails, etc, and
then went on without rectifying the
situation. And so on until Lepisto
and Bailey, who are supposed to be
watching for fire bugs and not gar
bage distributors, cleaned up the
camps.
If the Duluth men left the mess
for someone else to take care of,
they are not a whole lot better
than the original party or parties
who preceded the Duluthians.
The Job Of the forest service Ger
tainly is no more than an educational
one, showing others how to care for
campsites. When the forest service has
to turn garbage collector it is time
to put up keep OUT signs on the
canoe camp grounds that they built
on government property at government
expense for use by the public.

ougfly miserable time on his last
canoe trip. but that it was nevertheless
his most enjoyable vacation" Provi-
dence, R. I, man told the wilderness
Outdtters this week that he would
arrive the first of September TO make
another similar trip"

Two runs scored in the fourth in

here Sunday in the first round of the
Range league playoffs.
In one of the best bail games ever
played ON the local diamond, the two
clubs fought in out blow for blow from
the start. The Ely club garnered
seven hits, while Cook came of the
diamond with only one less. But Ely
punched its hits, four of them. IN the
all-important fourth inning, and scored
two runs TO win.
Manager Fritz Banks led OF with
an exemplary double and crossed the
plate with the first run as Jimmy

RANGE LEAGUE
FINAL STANDINGS.

Ely ties Chisholm for first in the
standings through forfeiture by Eve
leth of its two postponed games with
Ely. Scheduled for last Sunday, the
games were forfeited SO that the play
offs could be started on that date. Ely
agreed TO the change only if EveIeth
would forfeit the games, giving Ely a
tie with Chisholm, because there is
little doubt but that Ely would have
defeated EEeleth on the field.

Game Will Decide EIy's
Chance of Getting
Into Regional.

Ely will meet Virginia here Sunday
afternoon in the second game Of a
three-game series to determine the
Range league playoffs winners
Ely got into the finals of the play
offs by defeating a determined Cook
club, 20, while Virginia came through
with ga win over Chisholm that was
not entirely unexpected.
First game of the finals was
played under the lights at Virginia
Last night, an account of which ap-
pears on the opposite page.
While the series is scheduled on a
three-game basis, it is probable that
Sundays game viii count as two, or
that it may be a doublheader if the
third game is necessary to break a
tie, because many of Ely's players who
are employed in the mines will be
working night shift next week.
Manager Fritz Banks said yester-
day that it would be impossible for
Ely to play night game next week.
Team winning will enter the region
2 playoffs, which viii be conducted on
the range this year, with Sunday, Aug.
81, as the starting date. Two sites
were named for the meet. Virginia and
Chisholm, with the club winning the
Range league series having the option
of selecting either
Il is believed certain that Virginia
will be named for the regional meet
regardless Of the league winner, be-
cause Virginia would consider nothing
but the home field and Ely would
probably select the Queen City be-
cause it is considerably closer TO the
Vermilion range
The lineup for the series with the
Ore Diggers has Manager Banks in
quandary Pitcher Frank Vertnik
turned in such a stellar performance
at third base against Cook that the
Ely manager hesitates to take him OF
the sack, but Vertnik's services are
also needed on the mound. Whether
John Lefty" Pucel, who hurled the
Cook encounter, could take on two
more games this week, is a question.
Bright spot IN the picture is Catcher
Tony Stukel, who has returned TO his
job behind the plate. His timely hit
ting may prove a deciding factor in
the series.
In defeating Chisholm. Virginia de-
throned the 1910 playoffs champions,
assuring that new representative from
the league viii participate in the re-
gional series.
