was called. and the utmost good feel
ing prevailed.
The rules ask players to be gentle
men and treat their opponents as such,
and il is indeed n gcntleman's game.
The main objective of soccer is to
get the ball through the goal posts
and the proper understanding between
players, or what is termed teamwork,
is essential to success.
GENTLEMEN'S GAME.
In some teams there are players
VINO have great speed and wonderful
command of the ball while racing to-
ward the goal, and on these occasions
the goal-kccpcr has many anxious mo-
mcntS. not knowing what is going to
happen as there are - feet of space
to cover and kicker in front of him
with the power Of mule.
1t is rather difficult to explain the
game. The best thing one can do is
to see it.
There are eleven players on each
side and the positions are as fol
lows: Five forwards. three half
backs, two fullbacks and the goal
keeper. The pivots of the teams.
If i NAV so term them. are the CEN
ter halfback and the goal-keeper.
the latter is the most important
man on the team. for n mistake on
his part means goal to his OPP
pOnents, whereas a mistake by any
other player is often redeemed either
by himself or II colleague.
ATHLETIC QUALITIES.
The game calls for all those quail
ties that 60 to the making of perfect
athlete, speed. endurance, and rapid
motion in thought and action (the
fraction of second is often the diff
ference between success and failure) :.
The advantages from n physical
point of view are numerous and the
moral and intellectual qualities of n
boys mind are much improved. He
learns to be fair and recognize the
good play Of an opponent. and most of
all to be himself good loser, a vah-
able asset in life.
In these modern days. one of the
practical problems of life is to give
work and play, mental and physical
effort. their proper relative values.
1t is sometimes difficult to achieve
this balance but many people do. And
it should not be beyond our power as
nation to enjoy our baseball and SOC
Ger and all Of the manly games with
out losing our heads.

BY r. j. WARHURST
(tOrmer English psayer.)

A very large attendance Mt the SOC
Ger football game on last Sunday
afternoon and the great interest Gis-
played by people who had never seen
the game played before is an inCica-
ton that in very short time SOC
Ger will become in San Antonio, as
in European cities, the most popular
of all games in the public estima-
ton. The interest in any game Is
measured by the gate" and in thu
final game for the English Cup played
in the vast stadium ut WEAKLY, Lon
don. a crowd that exceeded the en-
tire population of San Antonio wit
messed soccer as it is played by the
artists of today.
In the factories and work shops
of England writer with a sense OF
humor remarked that the first three
days of the week are spent in dis.
cussing the merits CT the game played
on the previous Saturday afternoon
and the next three days in what is
likely to take place on the coming
Saturday afternoon.

FASCINATING GAME

There is a reason for this. Soccer
is, from spectators point of view,
a very fascinating game. To see a
high-class forward get possession OF
the ball, say behind the halfway line
and dribble his way through all Ol'-
position and take n final shot for a
goal is thrilling moment. And these
moments are continuous throughout
the entire 30 minutes of the game.
The rules Of soccer are very sim.
pie and easily understood. School
boys OF IL or Is years Of age become
quite proficient in very short time.
A game between schOOlbOys of the
age stated is interesting to watch,
for a boy Of Is can be as tricky as
player twice the age, though, of
course, not quite so fast.
The parents of boys playing soccer
need have no anxiety as serious acct
dents are very rare. The rules against
rough play are strict and the referee
usually sees that they are enforced.

elected as Republican. MAY appoint
the widow OF Senator l.add to

pointment without question.
Appointiye Right Doubted.
The assertion that he believes the
Senate would accept the appointment
OF Mrs Ladd is the milk in the cocoa =

the right of the governor TO appoint
TO nil an unexDired term. made vacant
by death or resignation. The State
has never given him the right to
make such appointments since the
adoption OF the constitutional amend

quarters that Gov. Sorlie is com PEELED.
under the circumsta noes. to call a
special election to fill the vacancy now
existing or, barring that. the State
must lack a Senator until the NEXT
regular election is held.
Senator Ladd's term Of Office ex-
pires March 3. 1927. He would have
come up for reelection in November,
1925, had he lived
II is we'll understood here that Gov.
Sorlie desires 10 make an appoint
ment. rather than 10 call special
election. II he appoints Mrs. Ladd,
II will be with the hope that the
members OF the Senate will not ques
ton his right 10 honor the widow OF
their late colleague.
Was Born in Annapolis.
Mrs. Ladd is the mother of eight
children and in her sixties. She is q.
native Of Annapolis. Nd. Her maiden
name was Miss Rizpah Sprogle. She
has not been active in politics, but
was her husbands close compa nion.
Should she be named Senator and
seated. Mrs. Ladd will be the first
woman actually to serve in the upper
house. Mrs. Rebecca L. FELTON, OF
Georgia, was appointed TO the Senate
in 1923 after the death Of Senator
Tom Watson. but by the time the
Senate had convened successor had
been elected, and Mrs. FELTON, was
permitted TO qualify only by court tesy.
She never cast a vote and did not
actually serve as Senator
