THR0OP is WINNER
OF ANNUAL CONTEST
PASADENA HIGH DEFEATED BY
II TO 5 SCORE
Coach Wilson Of High Schools Team
Protests the Game Before the
EleVens Line Up on
Grldron

PASADENA. Nov. 25.-In the most
bitterly fought football game ever seen
on local gridiron Throop Polytechnic
institute won from the Pasadena high
school at Tournament park this after
noon by a score of IL TO 5. The score
indicates the relative merits of the two
teams.
The high school has protested the
game, Coach Wilson having filed the
protest with Arof. Van Patten, presi-
dent of the Interscholastic league be-
fore the game was played. 1t is al
legged that Thomas Mckinley, Throop's
lett tackle, was over the age allowed
by the Interscholastic rules, and that
Don Ross, the Throop captain, had
already played seven years of inter-
scholastic football-three with a north
ern high school team and four in South
ern California.
Throop outweighed the high school
both in the line and in the back field
The high school backs made little prog
ress on the offensive either on bucks
or end runs. the high schools only
score being made by an on-side kick
and the sensational dash of So yards by
"Buu' Glass In the first half the
high school had the BAH within a foot
of the goal line but could not score.
Throop gained ground more consist
emily but played a kicking game in
which Herd was the star. He easily
outpunted e. Jones of the high school
team and out of six tries for goal
from placement was successful twice,
scoring six points.
Throop Takes Lead
At the end of the first half the score
was to in favor of Throop. At the
end of ten minutes play in the sec
ond half the high school had scored
its touchdown, but Glass failed to kick
an easy goal. After repeated trials
Herd kicked another goal and in the
last few minutes of play Duarte, right
half, was showed across for a touch
down.
Toward the end of the game many
changes were made in the lineup, Tad
Jones, high school left guard, left the
field in tears, being replaced by ia
comini. A few minutes later Seifert
left half, was forced off the field with
cheers from the Throop rooters. His
rival, II. Mcdonald, took his place.
For Throop. Green replaced McIn-
tyre at left guard and Ban Rossen took
McKinley's place at tackle. r. Mat
thews took quarterback, Herd going to
half in place of Brandt. Ross was
forced out by bad leg, being re-
placed by Vinson. II. II. Wright took
place at end.
For the high school, Dougherty made
a fine showing at center against gi-
ant opponent and T. Jones was con-
spicuous for his work at guard. All
the back field showed up well, but r.
Jones made several fumbles which
might have proved costly.
Mckinley of Throop was conspicu-
Gus at tackle, while Duarte, Herd,
Brandt and Simpson also We're in every
play.
The officials for the game were B.
c. Haines, University of Chicago, UNI
pire; J. c. Rhinehardt, University Of
referee; H. H. Bloom, Get

A friend of mine told me of curl
GUS experience He was carefully
stalking big bull elephant in a large
herd, when they got his wind, and a
big COW elephant charged him. He
jumped behind a large tree as the
elephant reached him, and, being I'M
able to stop herself in time, the ele-
plant drove her tusks with such force
into the tree that they snapped off
close to her head. The elephant was
stunned for moment, but luckily
turned and galloped after the fast re-
treating herd, leaving him the posses
sor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued
at about $25O-Circle Magazine.

CHAPTER VI.

1t was a very beautiful world which
greeted us In the morning after the
storm, all swept and garnished and
freshly painted for our delectation.
l wish l could describe it, as we
stood upon O1r veranda drinking in the
life-giving ozoae and feasting our eyes
upon the landscape. Perhaps If
were an artist l could better express
the bright azure of the sky, the deep
err blue of the sparkling ocean ripping
with white-capped waves, the wonder
full clearness OF the atmosphere, and
the glorious sunlight gliding every
thing until the commonest objects
were endowed with a charm hitherto
unsupported.
freshed, and both Gabrielle and Eliza
beth looked rather pale and heavy
eyed so we decided to spend the day
at home, and established ourselves
upon the veranda for one of the long,
lazy mornings in which we frequently
INDUCED.
Lady Edith Campbell soon joined us,
fresh and dainty in her pretty morning
costume and simple hat, and we
greeted her with enthusiasm.

marked, as she removed her hat, land
as he means to be away all day, shall

look, and what wonderful morning,
Is it not?'
IF storms bring days like this" re-
marked Gabrielle, from the hammock,
Il shall not care how often they
come"
"Oh, shall you not?" replied Lady
Edith, with little shiver. Il do not
believe I agree with you. Last night
was terrible even in the village; what
1t must have been. in this exposed
place l cannot imagine. l am always
afraid Of the wind, and then, too"
She paused uncertainty and looked
at us.

We fastened to assure her that we
loved all gossip, hotel or otherwise,
and she resumed.

supplemented Elizabeth "Of course
We remember her, Did she die OF
apoplexy or anything?"
"She was robbed" said Lady Edith
gravely "All her jewels were taken.
and they were very valuable. Poor
old woman! Was 1t not dreadful? She
is in a state of hysterical collapse
this morning, and who can wonder?"
Robbed" I exclaimed, incredu--
louly.
Yes, robbed. 1t makes one very
uncomfortable, does it not? They say
1t Is the work of an expert, and have
put the matter into the hands of the
police, hoping to recover the Jewels"
Whom do they suspect?"
Il do not know" she hesitated a
moment, then resumed quietly: you
see, the hotel was crowded last night
with strangers storm-bound on the
island, and it will be difficult to form
nm opinion. Mrs. Bundy was alarmed
at the storm, and spent most Of the
night In her daughters room. 1t is
probable the thief got in then, or
when she was at dinner
But objected Elizabeth, ut must
