"Ye Merry Game of Football from An cient Times Till Now" is the title of an illustrated article in the November St. Nicholas from the pen of N. O. Mes senger. The Greeks invented the sport, and through the Romans it reached the Britons. In the time of Queen Eliza beth football was in high favor. It was played in the city streets, on the com mons, and in country lanes. There was not much rule or order to the game, the object being merely to put the ball into the enemy's goal, by fair means or by foul. The goals might be a mile apart, with ditches and hedges and high roads between. The players struggled in earnest, and broken bones were no rarity in the rush that followed. This was probably the roughest and most brutal period in football history. The accounts of the times speak fre q lently of accidents, and too often there were fatal incidents in the playing of the game. Shrove Tuesday was football day in those times, and then the whole popu lace went football mad. Every one turned out to kick the ball. There was one grand scramble to reach it ae it was punted down the streets, over housetops and across commons. The merchants barred shop windows and doors as the merry crowds surged through the Btraets, for scant heed was given to any obstacle that stood in the way of the pursuit of the ball. Sometimes two or more crowds, in chase of the flying pig ekin, fell foul of one's another's course, and there was a to-do, the strongest held the right of way, perhaps carrying off both ballb, and causing the other crowd to join their pursuit. With the year 1800 the game began to be adopted by the schools and universi ties as the leading sport. In 1863 an association was formed and it was made a scientific sport. At this time the game was played differently by differ ent universities. Rugby permitted car rying the ball, holding- runners, charg ing and tackling, while Harrow ani Winchester only allowed kicking. In 1871 the Rugby union was formed, and rules laid down. Prior to 1875 Ameri can universities paid little attention to football. It was Harvard that brought the game to the United States, and in order to have a foeman worthy of its steel taught it to Yale. "Old Eli" took gracefully to the drubbing that was in volved in learning the first lesson, which was learned so we'I that for many yeatB thereafter Harvard had no more victo ries. The Rugby game has been developed in America mainly along the lines of in terference and tackling. ThevYankees were quick to perceive advantages which could be gained in this direction and put them into play. In 18SG Princeton introduced the "wedge," using it against Harvard, who in turn took it up against Yale next year. Then Harvard went one better and brought out the "flying wedge," which with the "V,"the "push" and the "plow," are permanent features of football work. In the perfection of football playing into a scientific sport from the old lough-and-tumble game of the past an involved system of signals has come into use. The signals are made by calling out numbers. There 6eems to be no lessening of in terest in the sport. There may be as many as twenty thousand spectators, and the great game of football, which began with the Greeks, was carried on by the Romans, developed by the Brit ish, and perfected by the Americans, seems to be indeed the king of autumn bports.
