Sensational Features,

The sensational features were the long
runs Of Tracy, Thomas and Welch and the
tackling of McKray and Welch The first
touchdown was scored by Thomas, who
made pretty thirty-yard sprint, skillfully
evading the collegians, who vainly tried to
check him in his flight with the ball. The
fourth touchdown was made by Captain
Tracy in a beautiful eighty-yard run. In
the second half Welch made pretty play
by catching the pigskin from the kickoff
and scoring touchdown. The High school
boys made a total OF ten touchdowns and
seven goal kicks. The touchdowns were
credited as follows: Thomas, 3; Roberts, 2;
Tracy, /; Welch 3, and Davidson, l. Mike
Thomas kicked seven goals and missed two,
while Captain Tracy missed one.
The tactics of the locals were confined
to end runs and punts, Thomas gaining
several distinct advances by punting the
ball from the field. No effort was made to
buck the line of the collegians, whose su-
perior strength would have made this i'm
possible
In view of the fact that Bellevue defeated
Creighton college last week by score of

coaches of the team attributed it TO an at

afraid, but played desperately from start
to finish, and it was not from failure OF
effort that they were unable to stem the
onward rush of the High school lads Bandy

FOOT BALL SEASON OPENS
First Game Between Omaha High School and
Bellevue College,
LOCAL YOUNGSTERS HAVE EASY VICTORY
Ten Touchdowns and seven Goals
Bring Total Score Up to 81
CoIlcginns Fail to- Make
Point.

The foot ball season was formally opened
In Omaha Monday afternoon when the Omaha
High school eleven defeated Bellevue Col
lege by score Of 81 to o. The game was
played on the grounds Of the Young Mems
Christian Association athletic park, Ames
avenue, and was witnessed by a noisily en-
thusiastic crowd-young people, representing
the High school, Bellevue college and Cregh-
ton college, predominating The result was
astonishing as prior to the first kick-off the
general impression was that the visitors
would have an easy victory because OF their
superior size. When the small wiry lads
from the High school, not one of them equal
ling in size the smallest man on the college
eleven, began carrying the ball at will over
the gridlron. their enthusiastic admirers
easily overcame their surprise and cheered
Justify.
Old-timers who witnessed the game were
surprised at the spirit with which the Omaha
youngsters entered into the play. They
were nervy, gritty and displayed excellent
judgment The team work was fine and
showed the careful coaching of Whpple.
From the start of the first half the Omaha
boys kept the pgskin in the territory Of
their opponents and at no time during the
whole contest did the collegians succeed in
rushing the ball in dangerous proximity
to their goal. The visitors were big and
brawny and relied solely upon efforts to buck
the line, but their attempts to crush the
Omaha youngsters were futile. The in
reference OF the High school boys was
sufficient to hold their opponents from max
ing any advances and the superb tackling
OF the locals caused the visitors to abandon
all attemps at end runs. For the most part
of the actual playing time the ball was in
possession of Omaha. The few times that
the collegians got the pigskit, in their pos
session it was early forfeited by reason
of their failure to make the required five
yard gains.

The Yearning OF the Soul.

Private prayer gives opportunity for med

One cannot pause to correct rhetoric In
public supplicaton. Nor is it we'll to ''pad"
prayer with exhortation or reproof for some
human listener. But In the closet, medita.
ton and soul-debate, with God for umpire,
become quickeners and clarifers Of con.
scienee. 1t is in private prayer that the
soul puts the brook Jabbok between self and
all earthly ties and wrestles and prevails
with Stranger, to the learning OF Di.
vine revealing and TRANSFORMING, And
it is after such victories that there comes In
public the Illuminating glory OF the Mount
OF TRANSPORTATION, and perhaps the attest
ing presence Of patriarch and prophet. With
such praying there comes to the listener the
witness Of the voice divine. But however
and wherever, the best OF praying. like the
must be that which Is learned
from mothers lips. The souls desire
finds expression in unstudied and familiar
forms OF speech. It has no foreign accent,
1t Is couched in no strange t.inm, but rolls
along homely vehicle Of thought which
bpst expresses the yearnilg Of the soul for
communion with God and its Transforming

One Cause OF Poverty.

In order to learn some definite facts

what causes poverty, one OF the agents Of
the Municipal Reform League OF New York
Vas stationed to watch an entrance OF 4
tenement on lower Broadway one evening
from seven to eleven o'clock. He saw nine
teen meR 60 In with buckets o. beer, four
teen women with buckets OF beer, and seven
girls from ten to twelve years OF age with
buckets OF beer; three women also carried
in bottles OF whisky. Forty buckets OF beer
and three bottles OF whisky In one evening
carried into building In which the aver
age, weekly earnings per family will not
exceed three dollars seems to furnish o
suggestion OF the cause Of poverty. On
the evening OF the 10th the same agent took
observation on tenement OF better
class. Between half-past seven and ten
o'clock he saw ten boys from eight to four
teen years old carry In bucket. Of beer.
