AN OLD GAME?
YEA! INDIANS PLAYED II

Although form Of football was
played by both the Greeks and Ro-
mans under the title of feninda and
later sheromakia, it has been recent
Ily demonstrated that the North Amer
lean Indians invented and played &
game similar to the football Of early
and middle age Europe. In a recent
article upon the subject, Parke Davis,
the statistician and historian Of the
modern game, writes as follows:
THE first American played foot
bail in well-specialized game, Of
which he also was the inventor. Like
lacrosse, the Indian played his game
of football upon the flat sands. The
ball was made of leather, sewn with
thong and filled with moss. The
goals were a mile and more apart.
The players ordinarily were braves
of the same tribe, but upon special
occasions the game would be staged
between selected players Of differen!
tribes, one tribe being arrayed
against another.
"In these tribal contests the pay
ers came to the sands arrayed in war
bonnets, war paint, and full savage
regalia. As the time drew near for
the game to begin, bows, quivers,
shields and bonnets were discarded,
and the Indian, 1.-THE and athletic,
stood forth eager and alert. Before
commencing play the rival players
shook hands and rubbed noses in for
nal token of the friendliness CT the
fierce encounter.
"Our genial reporters of three cen
turies ago tell US that sometimes sew
eral days were required to obtain
goal, in which event the contendinG
teams would mar, the spot where
the ball lay at shutdown, and resume
the game at that point the following
day.
and there was fair craftsmanship
in their game, for William Strachey,
comparing the tactics of the Indians
to the tactics of Englishmen, and
clearly referring to tripping and hack
ing, says:
"'They never strike up one anoth-
er's heels, as we dc, not accounting
that praiseworthy to purchase goal
by such an advantage They played
for stakes, did these Indians, so high
that William Wood is afraid to tell
the size. On this subject he says:
"'It would exceed the belief of many
to relate the worth Of one goal,
wherefore it shall be naneless.'

 PARIS, March ?. - Last night there was an intermittent bOmbardment of the French positions along the front north of Verdun and on the plains of the Woevre. Nothing important was developed, and the artillery fire was fruitless, the French guns not bother ing to reply. It was announced that the French losses in the recent bat tie were high. due to the severe ma ture of the fighting. much of which was hand to hand, the French troops dying in their trenches rather than retreat or surrender. The German losses have been estimated at over a hundred and twenty-five thousand. The French war correspondents, and the public are much mystified at the continued pause of the German at tacks around Verdun. The only solu- tion offered is that the Germans are resting, bringing up additional forces preparatory to a new attack when the severe fighting of the past week will be renewed. Commander in Chief

 RATHER THAN SURRENDER

Joffre Is fully prepared for all eventu- alities, and confident that the Ger mans will lose in their efforts to crush the French lines at Verdun. Only the local reserves were used by the French commanders in the late fighng. the great mass of the French reserves being not called upon, and they are now remaining intact and ready for whatever use Joffre may de- cree for them, whether they be need ed to repulse further Teuton attacks or be used in a great counter attack when the opportune moment arrives. The French express supreme confi- dence in Joffre's ability to cope with the situation. and in the morale of the soldiers.

WASHINGTON, March :. - Senator Gore, speaking on his resolution call ing on the government to warn Am erican travellers off armed merchant vessels, said today that the impelling reason for his introduction of the re solution was report he had received that President Wilson had told cer- tain congressman that war between the United States and Germany might not be an unfortunate thing, as it would no doubt result in the advance ment of civilization by ending the war before midsummer. Senator Stone, of Missouri, replied to Gore, defending the intimation that he was one of the senators who had spread such a re port and vehemently denied the state ments of the Oklahoma senator.

Flood told the reporters that some resolution, whose wording would be acceptable to Wilson, would be agreed upon by the House foreign committee today and submitted to the body for ap- proval.

man Kitchin. from North Carolina, af- ter criticising the Presidents attitude concerning Americans travelling on merchant vessels of the belligerents, said that no action would be initiated in the lower house of Congress direct Iv opposing the President. When asked about the prospect of an ad- verse vote against the President s stand in favor of the right of neutrals to ride on such vessels, Kitchin re piled: The habit of obedience has been developed to a very high degree in Congress-" Kitchin is strongly op- posed to the preparedness program of the administration. and equally in favor of warning American travellers on the high seas. but his reply is taken as an indication that the House would stand by the President.

WASHINGTON. March ?. - The President conferred with the leaders of Congress yesterday discussing plans for ending the controversy which has arisen in both Houses over Am ericans riding on armed merchant vessels of the European belligerents. It is proposed that the matter be brought to a vote and defeated, as Wilson by this action seeks to con vince Germany and Austria that the American Congress stands behind his foreign policy The actions of cer- tain members in criHcising the admin istration stand is felt to be rather embarrassing to Wilson in the con- duct of the pending negotiations.

 Ap pecial by Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March ?. - The latest assurances from the Berlin foreign office on the submarine war fare situation, which were presented to Secretary Lansing by Ambassador Bernstorff, are not so broad or com prehensive as the Washington gov ernment would desire. No further ac- ton will be taken by the Wilson ad- ministration, however, until the gov ernment is certain that any action taken by it will not be embarrassed by conflicting resolutions by Congress. The assurances reiterated by Germany in it's latest note are less complete than those originally given as a res suit of the Lusitania negotiations. The pending Lusitania agreement will not now be acceptable to the United States, as it is far from satisfying the demands of this country.
 Both Speaker Champ Clark. of the House, and majority leader Congress-
The Cordova daily times., 1916-03-03

declined to say how he would vote if the matter came up in the House. The Democratic leaders have drafted re solution, which will probably be con sidered in the House, proposing that Congress express it's full confidence in the foreign policy of the admins tration, particularly referring to the armed merchantmen controversy with the Teutonic powers, and recognizing that the matter is fundamentally one of executive and not legislative con cern.

What fighting is now going on is centered on the north eastern portion of the stronghold, where the Germans are making strong efforts to rescue General Brandenberg and his German troops, who are cooped up in the ruined easements of Fort Douamont The German opera tions southeast of Verdun have been interrupted and the experts believe that it is just preliminary to a Teu- ton attempt to assail the French po- sitions on the heights of the Mouse. If an attack Is made here it will be directed through two small gaps, through a heavily wooded section, which are protected by Fort Taven- nes and Fort Rohzelier It is evident that both sides are profiting by the present period of comparative quiet to renew their forces and replenish the supplies of ammunition
