HOW FOOTBALL BEGAN.

There is a good deal of the romantic about the early history of the most popu lar of games.KENYA

There is a Chinese print of the ifth rentury BC. of men punting a foot ball. The only game played in ancient Greece was a sort of football which the. Spartans engaged in hut the Athenians not a typical contrast.

One of the most extraordinary of tho many varieties of ball used all over the world is the probably prehistorie stone half of North American Indians This was, of course, not kicked, but pushed with the side of the foot..Y

In France, especially in Brittany, foot- ball was played probably before the Middle Ages: the earliest record is in 1147. The Breton naine was oule or choule. In some districts the foot was the only propeller; in others the ball could also be thrown or carried; nud always there were no fouls."

The players fought each other, just as they did in English football of the 16th century, when the game was banned by James I. and slated by Bishop Stabba

The bishop's anathema is classic for, ás concerning football playing it may rather be called a bloody and murthering practise than a felowly sperte of pastime. For dooth not every one lye in waight for his adversaric, seeking to overthrowe him and to picke him on his nose, though it be uppou hard, stenes! And he that can serve the most of this fashion, he is counted the only felow, and who but he? So that by this 'mennes, scraétima their necks are broken, sotmetime their legs, sometime their armes, sometime their Is this murthering eyes start out... play now, an exercise for the Sabaoth day T

The old French footballs were of parti coloured leather stuffed with moss, saw- dust, or hay, or inflated with air.`

Canton played canton and village against village, just as in many of our villages the street, football match on Shrove Tuesday is played between the two halves of the village.

The goals were church doors, or hedges. or gates. Any number of players took part, often the whole population of men, women, and children.

The first rules of the game were drawn up in 1398 by the canons of the Church of Auxerre; and it is curious that the officials of most churches played the game as if it were a regular duty and ceremony, They had matches on stated days the game began with a psalm and concluded. with a lance by the players.--By A. E Crawley in the Daily Mail

"SHAMROCK'S" ORDEAL

31 DAYS IN ATLANTIC STORA

Sir Thomas Lipton'a 23-metre- TELIBE yacht Shamrock arrived at Southampton last month from Long Island, New York after an eventful voyage of 37 days across the Atlantic. A graphic description of the reggelt member of the crew, who said:

We started with a band playing and cheering American crowds. This was about the only bright spot in the whole trip, for the same evening a very dif ferent band began to play when a gale came along. Various gear was carried away, and while we were reefing the mainsail the mizzen went by the board. We had to cut it adrift to avoid knock- ing a hole in the bull. From then on we lived in a sort of nightmare-strong winds and heavy seas which ripped gear out of her or flat calips On Monday fast, at the height of a heavy gale, the ses running was truly awful. I've never imagined anything like it. Shamrock was simply lost in the trough of the waves, and yet I've heard people say that Atlantic rollers are never more than 30 feet high. I wish they'd been there.

With the fear of death on us five of us were hauling at the trysail sheet when a solid green one broke abourd. I got my knee, smashed The others were washed over the side, but hung en and were washed back. Half drown-. ed-I had fainted and been hauled out

of the way they set about clearing the wreckage

You can judge something of the weight of water when I tell you that that same wave suashed the lifeboat and the minia. boom gallows-this lafter a solid piece of nah eft. long by about a foot square. One more wave like that and Shamrock herself would have been matchwood

After that, by the use of oil bags, we Leased things up a bit, and since then, although we've had heavy seas and strong winds, we've had a fairly un eventful run home.

The injuries to the men proved to be less serious than was at first feared.
