Fulp Gives Interesting History of Game. Major J. I). Fulp tells the history of football in an interesting talk at a banquet givei at Abbeville Friday evening ot>last week by the sponsors ! to the Abbeville Gridiron Kings, at the close of the season here. Major Fulp said: |' "The name American Rugby may | sound strange to football players in j the United States, but it is the correct name for their game. Football is play- i ed principally in the British Empire and in the United. States. It is.a very ancient form of exercise and amusement. The Indians of North America j and the aborigines of many of the Pacific islands played a similar g*nm<\ and it is not at all improbable that football, in some form, was known in the far-off days when all Europe was , in barbarism. It has been accepted by some skeptical persons as the real rea- j son, for the saving of Capt. Smith's life by Pocahontas, the young Indian maid mistaking the round head of the captain for a football lying on the block, being punted for a safety by Pocahontas. The (Ireeks seem to have taught it to the Romans, and the lat- ; 1 ter, through their soldiers, to the JJhQOS Lhrufonm {/, j 'y ^~f' ' | v-.

Britons and other races of the north. In the British Isles football was played by whole communities, who kicked the ball without clear design through the streets or over the meadows between tlie rival towns, in such rough fashion that the game was sometimes forbidden by law. Only in the nineteenth century did it become an organized game, with fixed numbers on each side and definite methods of counting score. It was at the great English schools j like Rugby, Harrow and Eton that football was first made practical. The boys' playground at Rugby Is largo and there Is plenty of room for running and tackling. At other schools even as late as 1850. the game was confined to kicking and punting the ball. Thus two distinct types of football have developed: Rugby, which permits running with the ball, <1nd Association or Socoer, which prohibits it. The former type includes English. Canadian and American Rugby, three distinct styles of play. The great game was probably brought to this country by early Virginia colonists, and soon after 1830 several of the eastern colleges began to play it. About 1S40 inter-class games were common at Amherst, Brown, Harvard and Yale. In 1860 these games became so rough that the faculties of Harvard and Yale prohibited football. At Princeton a more orderly game was played, more on the style of Association ball, and in 1869 the first inter-collegiate contest took place between Princeton and Rutgers. In 1S71 football was revived at Harvard, with rules which permitted running with the ball, as in Rugby. On May 15. 1S74, AlcUill lonepe, 01 jmntreal, Canada, having: challenged Harvard to a match, met the Bostunians ?IER^ es JKy, i s faer ( V i ' Ve wr \ What's the use of giv- * ing things that lose their . charm ? |; ;' Give your w i fe a \ \ TTrtofiTPTi r I L' nuuoi n<rv ior ^huduhoj and you give her a permancnt possession?one that grows more valuable year after year. h M With a HOOSIER in her J kitchen she will have more I; time for rest and recreation : 1 ? and be in better condition *: to enjoy them. : ?\v you how docidodly i cutting out wasto mo- ;!

The tug, which belonged to the Superior paper company, also carried 27 passengers. Seven survivers"of the wreck reached Salt Ste Marie Sunday night. Terrific weather has hampered efforts at rescue Col. C. R. Forbes, director of the veterans bureau at ih the first intercollegiate Rugby.malch played in America. McGHl's players were accustomed to the English rules of play while Harvard had made slightly different rules. So on the day preceding the game, the two teams' courteously coached each other in tactics. On the 15th a match was played under Harvard rules, and Harvard scored three times. The next day,"under McGJU's rules, neither side was able to score. Soon all of the big colleges in America adopted the straight Rugby style used today, and football has grown in popularity ever since.
