VENETIAN FOOTBALL.

A book published at Venice in 1866 by Antonio
Scaino relates methods of play in real football
that actually called by the same name.
The field was large that one however
strong, could quite throw stone from one end
to the other and it about half as wide.
Twenty thirty or forty persons could participate
a side the number, being regulated by the
size of the available field. Goals were set up at
either end. No one was permitted to strike the
ball with the outstretched arm or with anything
he might carry in his hand. Nevertheless, he
permitted to strike the ball with whatever
part of his body that he pleased" If the ball
came rolling toward him he was allowed to kick
he could not do so. The field was divided by a
transverse line Into two equal parts, and In
the middle lay the ball. The players were
chosen those who were going to make up the
opposing parties, by means of colors, by which,
in the struggle of the contest each could reeog

with his foot, This action understood to
be the beginning of the contest. that after 1t,
II was permitted to from either party to
seize It, to strike 1t, and to drive 1t victor
over the goal. 1t was perhaps from the method
of beginning the game that II was called foot

These Italian games had their origin in the
ancient pastimes of the Greeks and Romans.

idea of football than do the beginnings of the
game in northern countries, Football is be-
