through their left half his distance.
Shortly afterward Decius succeeded
in booting the ball over Pomonas goal
from a place kick which made the score
9 to 0 in favor of Los Angeles hlgh
school.
Pomona kicked off to Wingett, VINO
was unable to gain. High school trieu
another fake kick which enabled WIN
gett to go through Pomona's center Tor
his distance. An end run followed
which placed the ball directly in front
of Pomona's goal and only eight yards
away. 1t was high schools first down
with the goal to gain. The second down
found the ball in high schools posses
sion. and only a foot away from Po-
mona's goal. A left formation did the
trick for high school. with Wlngett
carrying the pigskin and assisted across
the line by Geissler and Decius. Decius
again missed the goal and the score
stood IA to in high schools favor.
The remaining two points We're scored
by high school during the last nVs
minutes of play after Boyle had bucked
the line for slight gains on two downs.
Geissler punted in the third down from
Pomonas 40-yard line. The ball was
fumbled by Mahoney, who was una Die
to recover in time to run forward, as ne
was being pressed by Brant, who had
broken through the line, and the ball
bounded behind the goal, where Ma
honey fell on 1t, thus scoring a safety.
The game ended with the score or 10
to 0 for high school.

profited by Pomona's transgressiohs
and arrested the attack.
Watchful Pomona defended on one
occasion smotherad Quarterback Cass
after he had fumbled punt and TOOK
the ball on downs and on other occa-
sions boxed Geissler hard enough TO
make him punt poorly, the ball going
high In the air and falling in the center
of the crowd of both players, and many
times it was case Of anybodys pail.
Hiah School Kicks OF
Wingett kicked off for the nign
school. and Pomona ran the pail 10
their 40-yard line. Pomona started IN
to hammer the high school line and on
the first down made two yards tnrougn
Silent and WINNER. They followed
with a five-yard gain through Grimm
and Maguire and on the third down
were run out of bounds by high school
while trying a left-end run. They were
forced back five yards by high scnool
on the next down and then lost the
ball to high school after a. punt oy
Mahoney. Cass caught the ball but was
downed in his tracks by Parker OF
Pomona who broke through the line.
Brant sustained a fracture of a rib
during a hard scrimmage in the first
half, but upheld his team wonderfully
while in the game. He received tne
ball from Cass on the high schooPs
first down and with bull-like rush
went through Pomona's center Tor
eight-yards gain. Dec1us was Iorceo
out of bounds on the next play after
making a 20-yard run around Pomona's
left. The ball was brought in fifteen
yards and high school ten made gain
of ten yards after a perfectly executed
double cross from Brant to Decius,
who ran clear across the field and was
tackled by Parker of Pomona.
Pomona Penalized
Pomona was penalized fifteen yards
for holding and Decius made another
left end run for no gain.
Giessler executed some poor punts
during the first half and one one oc-
casion sent the ball soaring high above
his head on the vicitors' 15-yard line,
but a quick man to rise to the situa-
ton was Silent, the giant center of the
high school eleven. Everybody wanted
to get the bali first, but Silent was
first to see the new twist to the battle
and was first to get away. He brushed
aside slower thinkers ahead of him
and made plucky lunge at the ball,
but only succeeded in hitting 1t. 1t
was recovered by Decius at the critical
moment and he made a 15-yard run to
be forced out of bounds on his 2S-yard
line, where he fumbled the ball and it
was regained by Pomona.
A strong factor in helping the local
team was the tackling of Grimm, who
time and again broke through the Po-
mona line and tackled his opponents
Just as they received the ball from
high schools punts. At one time he
succeeded in dropping on the ball as
Mahoney fumbled 1t on Pomonas 40
yard line At this stage the high school
team began their line bucking In ear
nest. Wingett took the ball, with the
assistance OF Branr and Decius,
through the Pomona left end for one
yard on the first down. Wfngett made
s yards through the center on the next
down and then high school tried for
ward pass for their distance. Wingett
threw to Mcguire, who missed the ball.

SANTA MONICA HIGH SCHOOL
LOSES TO MILITARY TEAM

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 24.--The Cali
fornia Military Academy football team
proved their superiority over the elev-
en- representing the Santa Monica high
school this afternoon by defeating
them by the score of 16 to 6.
. Borde If the Military Academy team
was easily the star of the game and
showed superiority in passing the ball
from center. The high school team
blame their defeat to the fact that
their star player, Dobbings, was hurt
in the second down of the game and
left a weak spot at his position of left
half-back. Although the lighter team
the high school team at times held like
a rock.
A good sized crowd witnessed the
game and everybody pronounced it as
being fast and exciting throughout.

punting toward the latter part of the
game which invariably sent the pall
out of immediate danger and into the
visitors territory.
The Pomona eleven was a powerful
plodding machine which never gave the
local team a minutes rest. Although
it was not generally conceded that Po-
mona would win the game the skill
they showed when tearing gaps In the
high schools line and jamming back
the blue and white attackers was some
thing OF a surprise to the big crowd.
High school did not show usual form
yesterday which perhaps was due 70
the fact that they were taken off their
guard during the first few minutes OF
play by the tremendous line bucks that
Pomona sent into their midst. That
they are gritty and cool and staunch
however, when under fire was shown
by the fact that they prevented Po-
mona from scoring in the second half,
although the visitors on two occasions
came within inches to penetrating the
goal line. In each instance when Po-
mona apparently was about to cross the
chalk terminus, the high school line
steeled to keep their rivals from ad-
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-25

and it went to Pomona on high schools
20-yard line. Pomona punted and Cass
caught the ball on the 38-yard line and
threaded his way through broken
field until he was downed by Birdsall
on high schools 25-yard line. Three
right and left bucks by Wingett scored
the first touchdown Of the game for
high school. Decius missed the goal.
and the score was to in favor OF
the locals.
High School Braces
After the first touchdown the high
school boys seemed to brace up con-
siderably. This was particularly APP
parent in the punting by Giessler, who
twice punted from the 50-yard line for
touchbacks during the first half. II
high school did not do as well as was
expected in team work they made up
for it in individual playing and the
standard in nowise suffered. When
high school found, however, that the
visitors were stronger than they had
estimated, the players put on more
steam and worked more determinedly
as was proved during the remainder OF
the first half.
In getting down the field under kicks.
Hunter and Grimm were dependable.
Cass and Giessler. generally brilliant
players, were trifie off their game

my two companions bursting the head out of that barrel, and one offered me a Bermuda onion at least six inches in diameter. Eat that and brace up,' he said. It went hard at first; but after three days I wanted an onion and, like the rest, ate it as if it were a luscious apple. The barrel of Bermudas was emptied long before we left the woods Our combined healths were superb. We needed no gargle. The. quart of whisky was used only for snakebite. Most of 1t was brought back to Onchiota and given to the guide. Possibly the advocates of temperance might learn from this that a daily diet of onions will reduce the ap- petite of the drunkard.
 ''The greatest of French cooks, being asked to give the secret of his success, answered. The very foundation of all good cooking is butter and onion I use them in all my sauces and gravies. They have the effect of making a customer come back for more. Butter without onion will drive the customer away after few days. Boil the onion till it mets, or entirely disappears; then add the but ter, and call the mixture stock !"

Royal Workshops in Portuqal.

The industrial school for boys, de- linquent and neglected-for the two classes are not set over against each are small-are called officinas. An of 5ficina is a laboratory or a work shop. As they are under the government they acquire the extra title of royal. so a royal workshop does not necessarily mean work rooms where the ch ildren of the king may learn how to use their hands, as they do in England and Ger many, but where they are manufac- turing good men out of unpromising material in a special laboratory.
 There are several of thes industrial reformatory schools in Portugal. The one at Villa Fernando measured up to all that the report had said of it. It is a union of industry, simplicity and ac- complishment. Great stress is laid on the moral side of instruction and tho boys are taught that they are to re- sole a shoe because it is the right thing to do, and that another right thing is to do it well. Music has large place in the school and a really excellent band played for us as the boys were drawn up in columns to do us honor at our departure. It would be well if more of our American re- form school directors could visit some of these less known sch ools in Fortu- gal, Spain and Hungary, and see how much can be accomplished ed with extra ordinarily simple means. They are more like the famous schools of Eng land. where the sons of gentlemen are taught plain living and high think ing.

THE DESPlSEp ONION.
One Writer Poins Out Benefits Derived
 From Its Constant Use.

From the New York Sun.
 Dr. Henry l.. Salisbury says: 'Your mud cures are excellent, but isn't pre- vention always better than cure? You mentioned scurvy. What the modern healing art is after is prevention, and not cure. Well, just have your sailors to eat onions raw three times a week. and there will be no scurvy. You complained about not being able to obtain the right kind of apple for eating and you were after the sulphur. Try the onion. It is the vegetable worlds substitute for mineral sulphur. On an onion diet you will have no trouble with your red blood-cells If you don't like the smell, eat your onion at night just before bedtime, and next morning gargle for two minutes with good mouth wash.
 q am fully aware of the therapeutical value of the onion, and have advised many physicians to use it in their prac- tice. They refuse, as a rule. However, it is @ fact that some people cannot eat onions without tasting them for several days after the feast. I was greatly inn pressed few years ago when shooting in the Adirondacks with couple of old time sportsmen. We reached camp on a blackboard over the toughest tote-road ever known. A three-bushel barrel of something worried me. It was handled with much care. 1t took up more room than all the rest of the camping outfit, which included a flve-gallon demiiohn of witchhazel, one quart of whisky and one gallon of vinegar
 .'We camped about seven miles from Onchiota, and got to bed at II o'clock. Next morning at daylight I discovered

another man than to prescribe for the malignant fever that is burning his own vitals. When we go through life and find one trouble coming to one man and an- other trouble coming to another man, and still another trouble coming to a third we say: "There, I told you so. Those men were once boys with me and grew up with me, and l knew they would come to no good end. Why, years ago, those men were laying the foundations of these very failures. I knew it and told them So."
 Have You Degenerated?
 Carry your thoughts back to the days of your old Christian home. Are you not startled at the changes in your life? Have you not degenerated? If today you could make a large sum of money by unloading a lot of worthless land as fu- ture building lots upon some ignorant pur- chaser who had not yet cut his wisdom teeth, would you do 1t? How are you different from your old friend whose mis- fortunes you were just discussing? The only difference between you and him is the rapidity with which you are losing your moral and spiritual integrity. Are you going to forget the weakness that overthrow your old schoolmate? As one who looks and forgets how he apepars, will you ignore the lessons which your neighbors' misfortunes are preaching to you?
 But if we can see our sins reflected in the moral and spiritual tragedies of those about us, can we not see what we might become by Christian grace in the joy and the happiness of those who are living about us and who are living for the higher life? I the mightiest temperance lessons are preached by the intoxicated man, staggering and hiccoughing along the public highway, so the greatest truths of gospel peace are preach ed in the smiling, radiant and triumphant looks of those who for years have been walking with and liv- ing near Christ. And If you will go to some of those consecrated, happy Christians they will tell you that once they were just as you are now. But the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus Christ came into their lives and en- tirely changed their hearts and their whole natures. What they once loved they now hate. And as they talk they seem to hold up to us a refiecting mir TOT showing us our nobler and better selves as they say: Brother, you can be like that. Sister, you can be like that Will you let Christ work in you his miracle as He has done in our na- tures?" Oh, my broth CT, in the lives of your Christian friends have you never caught a momentary reflection of what
  God, might become? Are you going to shut your eyes to that divine revela- tion as the man beholding his natural face in mirror turns away and for gets how he looks?
 I want to ask you still another ques- tion. .Is 1t not fact as the tragedies of your own life have been sweeping down upon you with terrific anguish that you have been longing more and more for the rapturous look you have seen In the peaceful countenance of your friends who have been living near and ever nearer to Christ.
 If this fact Is true when we look into
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-01-12

the happy faces of our dear ones, how much truer is it when we look into the divine face of Jesus himself! Even in the best of our friends faces we can find some flaws if we only study those faces long enough, but in the face of Christ there is no flaw. There Is a trans forming power in the contemplation of that reflection. That Is the divine secret of the changed character. We all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory" Into that mirror Jet us ever look, and as we behold the perfection of that divine character so will our own characters be changed into the same mage. We shall become like him, for we shall see him as he is.'
