For the earth is yours and your feet are the key.” This excerpt from "Footbag Dance,” a book on footbagging by Steven Blough, reflects the momentum this relatively new sport has taken on — particular ly in Eugene, which is the home of its “not so ancient” roots. The “father of footbagging” is John Stalberger, who was visiting the Northwest in 1972 when a man named Mike Mar shall captured his curiosity. Marshall was playing an in teresting little game in which he bumped a bean bag with the ex tremities of his body. Stallberger joined in. Soon they were going for records, seeing who might kick the bag the most times and experimenting with what kind of kicks they could invent. Together, the two created a legacy of flying leather and clip per kicks that has spread like windswept leaves on an autumn day. “About half of the world champions of footbaging are from Eugene,” says Jim Fit zgerald, world class free-stylist and footbag enthusiast, who competed in the world cham pionships held last summer in Boulder, Colo. There were about 125 entrants from all over the nation. Fitzgerald found so much ex citement from the sport that he decided to make a career out of it. Together with a few fellow enthusiasts, he began The Fly ing Leather Clippers — the only footbag company in Eugene. They are capable of producing about 800 footbags a month. They also make footbag carry ing pouches and other paraphernalia necessary for the modern day footbagger. An American sport isn’t an American sport unless there are custom-made accesories for the “footbagger with everything.” There are no poster sales and no huge salaries for talented footbaggers — so far. The Flying Leather Clippers makes quality footbags. hand stitched out of cowhide. They are even experimenting with ex otic hides, like deerskin and African antelope. They . . . come into play. . . guarantee their footbags for a full year of “back kicks, insides and outsides.” The Flying Leather Clippers are also promoters of the game. Their club. Footbag Lovers of Eugene (FLOE), boasts 15 members. There are several ways to play footbag. Free-style is the most visible form at the University. Players form a circle and keep the bag aloft with a combination of kicks. In competition, kickers are judged according to the dif ficulty, execution and variety, of their kicks. There is also the consecutive kick where one person or a team of two try to bounce the bag as Emerald Die photos All parts of the body. . . many times as possible. The record for a single kicker is 17,872 kicks held by 18-year old Andy Linder of Geneva. III. The most competitive game involves playing on a rec tangular court divided in half by a five foot net. Singles and doubles matches are scored like volleyball, and the more ex perienced players often spike the ball over the net. Players are allowed five hits on a side and are not permitted to use their upper bodies.^ Another'variation of the game is footbag golf, which is played like frisbee golf. Players attempt to reach a designated area by kicking the ball. Although most people refer to • the game as Hacky Sack, most people “in the know” realize that this really isn’t the name of the game or the bag. It’s simply a brand of footbag, like frisbee is a brand of disc. Footbag even has its own na tional governing body, the World Footbag Association. But the best thing about foot bag is its accessibility. “You only need a bag and a place to play,” says Fitzgerald. And the rewards. .. just r id Blough: “There are thresholds that come to you and through these thresholds you are drawn in by some magical charm that is very hard to explain. These thresholds are felt by orie and all and cannot be missed. Such a feeling." Lecture Notes Available Here is a list of classes for Fall Term 1984 for which lecture notes will be available.
