registered.

FAyoRIrE SPORTS OF TODAY
Baseball and Football Are Games
Evolved From Daily Work Of
Our Forefathers.

Play is ancestral work. The things
our forefathers, near or remote, did
to live, we do for fun, muses. an ex-1
change. Away back in the dim dis
tance, they lived by hunting-and by
lodging the creatures which were
hunting them. In those days, 1t con-
siderably strengthened ones grip on
life to be able to throw stone with
accuracy, to hit quickly and strongly
with club, to run from tree to tree
so swiftly and with such nice judg-
ment of distance as to foil old Saber-
Tooth, the original apostle of fright
fulness.
The men who could do these things
well left descendants. Generations
centuries, aeons passed, and these
descendants, struggling to repeat tie
daily work of their forbears, evolved
such games as cricket, one old cat,
and FOUNDERS. Out of this last, by
happy chance and happier genius, was
developed baseball, to exercise our
lungs, improve our eyes and increase
our vocabularies.
Far different Is the origin Of foot
ball. The keynote of that is the
massed rush-like the one which won
the battle of Marathon. Sometimes
the massing is extra close, correspond
ing to the charge Of the Theban col
umn at Leuctra, and with pretty near
Iy as high proportion of casualties
until the rule makers abolished the fly
ing wedge. But even in, the most open
game, football is essentially a disci'
pllned charge, and the activities II
calls into play are immeasurably less
ancient than those of baseball.
Why the one game has become the
greatest of professional sports and the
other the peculiar joy of colleges, no
one can say, but so it is. Perhaps hall
the problem can be solved by recol'
lectlng that the college age is the mill
tary age, and takes naturally to O
game which mimics ancient war.
