KOREAN FOOTBALL 1857 3. G.
Players Wore silk Stockings and Used
Fans, According TO Account .
Found In Old Book.

"Yz'uk kuk."
That's just Korean for football.
~Antiquarians digging around the dusty
tones of old Japan came across a
document which seems to be the Po-
lice Gazette OF b. G. 2697. The mole
skins of the day were made Of silk.
It was not uncommon to find a huge
pansy across the back of a slaiwart
tackle. Stockings were silk. too, and
of variegated colors.
The Big Bill Edwards Of those days
was Emperor Ch'eng II of the Han
dynasty. History relates that he
backed his team to the limit. Whether
he showed the devotion Of the modern
college student who sells his furniture
TO bet on the game is not known. Wal
ter Camp was represented by Gen.
Asukai Masatsune. He got out the
original rule book and guide. Whether
he also picked his own crowd for the
All-Mongolian or not, history Toes not
say. At any event he was the original
coach and probably won his share OF
moral victories while the other teams
got the t~ouchdowns.
Football in those. days was like
yachting now. Only those in whose
veins flowed the bluest blood could
make the team.
Nothing is known about the forma-
tons Of that day, but we have a de-
scription of the ball. 1t was round
and stuffed with hair. "Goat's hair"
gave 1t resillency. The game seems
to have been all kicking. Stage waits
were as prevalent as In a corner lots
ball game Of today. So long winded
were the protests that the attendants
used to serve tea to the players while
a decision was being given.
Unnecessary roughness was fire.
quent, and when the game was played
in the army as a military exercise, a
famous general protested that it was
too strenuous, and the contestants were
forthwith equipped with fans. A fan
In the hands of the umpire replaced
the whistle of today, and we a Inn
agine him nearly waving his wrist of
when things went wrong.
No goal posts as we know them to-
day existed. At n end Of the field
there was a cherry tree and at the
other end an apple tree, which served
as goals. The apple tree was the more
popular, as a tally was ~signalized by
a shower Of fruit, at which the game
was suspended while all contestants
ate an apple. Once early in the spring
when the goals were In bloom a half
back Of the Lu province team mistook
the apple tree for the cherry and shot
the ball past his W goal, thereby
losing the game for his team. He was
"cussed out" quite heartily by the spec
tators in true Yankee style.-New York
Mail.

FATE OF GOOD
ROADS LOOK GLOOMY

West Hammond people are still wor-
ried today over the fate of the good
road measures on which Thornton
township voted yesterday. The out
look was gloomy this morning and up to
noon no definite word had been received
on the results in several of the small
towns in tho south part of the township
Latest figures showed that the oppon-
ents OF the plan were in the lead but it
was hoped that these doubtful precincts
would swing the balance in favor of the
roads.
Early figures on the vote showed that
the great opposition to the special tax
had come from districts in which the
voters were mostly farmers who would
he benefited most by the improvements.
The vote was nearly > TO 1 in favor of
the tax in West Hammond where 552
voted yes" and 259 voted no"
West Hammond won two of the Of
aces which were to be filled at the cleo
tion. Five justices Of the peace and
1--WE constables were to be elected for the
township Chief Of Police Joseph Nitz
was candidate for constable on tho re
publican ticket and polled the highest
vote Of the township. Charles Yoerg-
er of West Hammond was elected just
ice. Frank Green, another West Ham
mond man made a strong bid for the
J. 2. job on the Citizens ticket.
