Seward daily gateway., 1924-08-14

Olympic championship is not shared in South America.
 Just as in the United States boys learn to play baseball as soon as they can lift bat, boys in Argentina, Ur- uguay, Chile, Paraguay and Brazil, learn to play soccer football when they are tiny tots. In all these coun- tries football is the national sport, and it i;, considered no wonder that in Uruguay, or i'll any of them, world champions could be produced as the result of the universal devotion to this game
 Soccer football was introduced in to the River Plate countries by the English 30 years ago and took an inn mediate hold. Since that time crack English and Scotch teams have come to the River Plate and gone down to defeat, as we'll as teams from Italy Spain and Czechoslovakia. The found that they had nothing to teach the South Americans, either in the science of the game, or in skill and sportsmanship.
 For the past seven years, annual South American football champion ship contests have been held which rival the World Baseball series in the United States in popular interest One championship final between Ar gentina and Uruguay playcl in Bue- nos Aires drew an attendance of co., 900 persons Of the seven champion ships So far held, Uruguay has won four, Brazil two, and Argentina, one.
 The football rivalry between Ar gentina and Uruguay is particularly keen. In Buenos Aires or in Monte video teams of various categories play series of matches every year for different trophies that draw many thousands of spectators who cheer thei rfavorite with an enthusi- asm no less frantic than that of baseball fans at game between the Tanks and the Giants.
 It is saying about Uruguay that there are only two classes of people in that country, those who play foot ball and those who watch 1t. In, Ar eentina there are more than hum dred football clubs in what is known as the first division, comprising the best teams, and many hundreds of other clubs of the inferior divisions. All are, amateurs, for professional sport, excepting pugilism, does not exist in South America.
