Earliest Romans
Played Football
Akin to Soccer

Can you imagine Julius Caesar play
ing quarterback on the Rome Uni
versity eleven, or Brutus skirting the
ends in those days when the Forum
was as busy as n thrcc-ring circus
No? Nevertheless. it was probability,
for it appears now that football origi-
mated with the Romans.
A fey uneducated persons used to
think that football was of Greek in
vention; but Trench and Camps trained
news hounds, aided by Italian propa-
gandists, have fastened it on Rome.
The Romans, not really knowing that
it was football, called it "calcium" 1t
appears TO have been q goodly, rough
going game, full of spirit, feet and
broken elbows, played more on the soc
Ger order than the rugby style in com
mon favor.
With the fall of the Roman Empire
calcium" also fell out of the spotlight,
not TO appear in favor until the time of
the Florentines and their Medcis.
There is no record of Machiavelli hav-
ing participated in the games, but we
imagine that if he did he played foxy,
clever game. Giovanni de Bardi, a we'll
known Florentine newspaper man,
wrote as follows in 1850:
"The CALICO Cater name) is a public
game played between two groups of
young men on foot. not armed, who
piayfully compete in making ball, by
means of their feet. pass outside of a
certain line back of the opposite group
The ball is mediocre in size, filled with
wind, and the game is played purely
for the honor OF winning"

to the Governors of the states OF the
Union and to all those associated with
them their sincere thanks for this
courteous expression of friendship.
The celebration which his maiesty's
government now gratefully acknowl-

spirit OF friendship with which the
American and British nations have
fought and conquered side by side in
the struggle for justice and liberty will
continue TO unite them in the coming
