J British Flyer In
* A Football Classic
? Royer F. Bye. h British lad who Is
X learning i<> be a Royal Air Force flyer
j| 'at the ^amden flying post. vRneared
Z IBs first American football game after
8 IiIm arrival here recently.
? Now 1'ye, wuo iikoh soccer, cricket.
8 rugby toot ball, all Major sports In the
H tight little Kngllsh Isle, has a flair for
x being witty and facetious and when he
* prepared a story on "Amerclan Footw
ball" for "Relax," the publication of,
flj Class SK-42-C of the Southern ^vlax
tlon school, he really said something.
H| Those who have read Rye's deHserx
at Ion on American football have
X chuckled with glee?-yes?have gone
if hysterical over tho droll manner In
Z which' the British cadet speaks of the
8 s'dMo,
? By permission of the aviation school
8 authorities, the story of "American
X Football" by R. F. Pye is given to the
X reading public as follows:
H "1 advise all British cadets to gaze
x upon the Inspiring spectacle provided
8 by American Football at least once
^ before passing on to another world,
8 To those who neglect the opportunity,
v however, 1 will pass on my own 1m"
pressolns of the game at Camden.
"There were, as far as I could see,
0. two opposing sides each of eleven play
eiH, tastefully attired In crash helmets
R and plus fours. After one side had
called a general meeting of share?
holders, (this being held In whispets),
jj| all players crouched on the ground in
the most original postures they could
8 think of at such notice, and, at a
given signal, sprang Into action.
8 "To bo more specific the side which
8 had held the board meeting leapt up
G and dttBhed off in all directions, feverS
Ishly endeavornlg to deceive their cpX
ponents Into the belief that every one
8 of them was In possession of the ball,
w In this effort they proved so complete8
ly successful that it Is my humble be8
Hef that there was not a ball and that
0 some unspeakable player had secretly
8 burled It while no one was looking.
5 Their opponents, however, remained
8 undismayed, leisurely hurling themm
selves on the ground and <nhy stirring I
8 occasionally to trip up some unsus
pacting player who happened to pass
ft "When all the atacking side had
? thus been brutally laid low, the
8 referee and his bodyguard careened
K about the field to And out where the
8 ball really, was, and upon discovering
8 that it was ten yards from the spot
y where it had last been seen, announc- j
8 ed the glad tidings which were greeted J
by loud cheers, whilst two diminutive
g indlvldauls rushed down tfie touch line
rattling a chain to remind the losing
G side that they would be clapped In
8 irons if they failed next time.
"Not only did the crowd cheer, but
8 the winners' band, perched in the
g> stands on the far side of the field,
8 blared forth, whilst innumerable fair
|| damsels attired in short skirts. and
ii white sweaters with enormous letters
8 emblazoned thereon broke into an enw
ergetlc dance. The girl who managed
8 to keep out of time with the band for
6 the longest period was enthuslastical8
ly declared the winner and presented
8 with a silver cigarette case in which
O to keep her bathing costume.
S "The losers band, way up in the
8 stands on the opposite side of the
Z field took up the challenge, and play
M
was temporarily suspended until tliey
had blown themselves out. The
referee then disqualified a player who
was caught red-handed trying to bury
the ball under cover of the tumult,
and when the unfortunate wretch had
been led off the field, play was resumed.
"After convenient time the referee
declared the game ended and voted in
favour of the team that had buried
I most balls without being caught. The
bodyguard being in complete agreeI
ment, all participants went about their
lawful occasions and a disappointed
fan beside me was heard to mutter
vindictively: "Well, even if they did
win, I guess we had the best band.
"British spectators are assured of
all-round entertainment."
