 The evolution of the modern foot pail game furnished an interesting chapter in the history of college sports. Prior to 1874 the big univer. sitles had been playing what was khoWn as the Boston game. The ball was round and made of rubber and the whole end of the field constituted the goal There was a rule which applied to "lurking." It provided that player in the opposition territory must walk or run toward the ball or at Tight angles to his own goal line. An other curious rule provided that a play. CT in possession of the ball could not run with 1t unless he was "chaseds' hy the opposition, but must strike it or kick 1t. If q player had the ball and was running toward his own goal with it, the moment the opponents found he was outstripping them they stopped, and he was then compelled to stop also. Imagine a'present day play CT, having made his way safely through the defense of the opposition, and ready for a brilliant touchdown, having his run cut short by the other fellows refusing to go after him! Am other thing about that game was that when player was rendered hors de combat no substitute could take his place. so that aroughness was put at premium.
 The idea of selecting an All America team started with Walter Camp, who has been the greatest inventor of the football world. For almost a genera ton he has been selecting such team each year, and his selections are usu- ally taken as the most authoritive. Yet others have followed his example. and there is now a multitude of coun- selors on the subject
