Spoils Editor • ..-.: The scene is merrie old England late in the 11th 'centnry.,A Iminch of young British chaps are working in a' field when one of the boys dipeover§ an old skull. Taking for granted that it was formerly the head of a Danish soldier, and having nothing but utter hatred in his heart for the Dane's who ruled his country from 1016- 1042, the boy 'releases his storedfeelings by giving the unfortiinate skull a vicious' boot. • , _. The other fellows, seeing their buddy' kicking the skull 'around the field, decide -this must be jolly sfini, ' and soon they too join in the 'kicking. And in this strange setting football is •born. Since few of, the English boys wore shoes, and kicking a hard skull barefooted, wasn't too easy on ithe feet, thr boys were forr' to, 'abandon t 1 new-found spy However , o. chap who, wet little brie,' than the r discovered 1 an inflated co' bladder Was gobd as a sl and footb went rolli ilong. Teams soon sprang up in the little villages throughout the Eng lish countryside. Though fields were marked off .with goals -at each end, there was no set num ber of players on a side. - As an early set of rules stated "'both sides must have an approximately equal number of players." Often this meant anywhere from 19 to 50 on a side. Football, knows in those days as "kicking the Dane's head" or "kicking the bladder." was short lived, however. King Henry II.(1154-1189)'bamied the game from England because his subjects .were playing too much football and neglecting , their compulsory archery practice. After the death of Henry, foot ball crept slowly back into England until in 1603 King James lifted the ban and gave the game his regal blessing. Teams grew up in every town in, England, and though there were no national rules, play was reasonably stand ardized. - From the beginning of the game in England until the middle of the 19th century, ,football was strictly_ a kicking .game with the emphasis on foot." In-• 1823, 'William 'Ellis, of Rugby College, beconiing frus trated when-le was unable to kick a bounding ball, reached down, picked it - up, tucked it under his arm, and while his teammates and rivals looked on in bewilderment, scampered across the goal, becoming the first man to run with a football. Ellis was a chagrined and \ un happy , fellow after his stunt,' and for a while was a social out cast.
