the turn the Roosevelt Bears lost
their first game Of the season to
River Rouge 20 to o.
Battling a more experienced and
heavier team the locals lost but in
defeat they looked like champs and
they fought like real champs and
though beaten they went down
fighting TO the last minute of play.
River Rouge put a team on the
field that had tremendous power
and they used their weight to a
great advantage, blowing through
the Bears line time after time for
stable gains. Roosevelt was unable
to get through the defense of the
Panthers and only at times during
the game showed the spark and
cunning that has been so prevalent
during their winning streak all
season. So to sum up the story
Of the game in a nutShell-it was
too much weight and experience
for Roosevelt to overcome.
The Roosevelt Bears will play
their final game of the season next
Saturday when they journey over
to Dearborn to battle it out with
the Fordson Tractors. This game
should also be a must on the fans
list Of football games to see.

Army of 100000
Hunters Licensed
for Game this YeaI

A grand total of nearly $4,000
individual hunters is the conserva-
ton departments estimate Of the
size of this years army Of nim-
rods.
The total is calculated on the
basis of 1914 license sales which
totaled 783, 1856 ir all classifications.
The department sold 229,472 deer
licenses, believes that not TO exceed
$4,000 sportsmen hunted deer ex-
clusively. In other words, 204,472
deer hunters bought small game IL
censes last year.
Total Of licensed hunters was
578,S83.
The department also estimates
that approximately $4,000 farmers
hunted on their own lands without
licenses. No estimate is made of the
number of persons who hunted
Illegally without licenses, but it is
believed to be negligible because
wearing Of back tags is required.
A 10 per cent increase in sales
OF licenses Of all descriptions this
fall Is believed to be a low esti-
mate. More addition, and the de-
partment comes up with a 6e1,77l
total as its estimate of the size of
the hunting army this fall.
