Lincoln Zephyr rear end, which
is locked.
The cool interior is red and

from a Willy's jeep.
The sharp-looking cycle fenders

tribes played a savage game of
football. The Athenians, Spartans
and Corinthians had a ball kick-
game. The Greeks called this
Espiskuros. The Romans also had
a football game called Harpastum
and they supposedly carried this
smt into the British Isles when
they invaded it.
From England the game of
Rugby evolved. It started with
5n incident in 1823 at Rugby,
England. During an interclais
ame one of the players became
so disgusted with trying to kick
he ball that he picked it up
and ran with it. The idea caught
hold of the imaginations of hardy
athletes. They changed the rules
many times until it evolved into
the American football as we know
it today.
The first formal intercollegiate

to four.
At this time the games were
played with twenty-five, twenty,
fifteen, or eleven men on a side
by mutual agreement. Later on,
in 1880, at a football convention.
they decided to adopt a rule
sheet showing the numbers of a
player on a side. In 1882, there
was also a rule adopted that
stated that the offense had to
make 54 yards in 3 downs or
give the ball up to their op
ponents. There has been a great deal
of changes in the game from that
day to this day. I presume there
will be more. But no matter
how the game is changed in the
future, if it involved kicking,
tackling, and running with the
ball, it will always be greatly
enjoyed by Americans.

School band worked the first
