THORNItKRRY United 1'rrss International LONDON (UPI) - When the mustachioed gentlemen met that evening of October 26, 1863, the game they were about to revolutionize was still sneered at by many because of the "shouting and hallooing attend ant upon it." Today, it is the greatest and most popular team sport in the world. It is called soccer. The purpose of that meeting 100 years ago at the Freema son's Tavern, Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Lon don, was to establish a code of rules "for the regulation of the game of football." The problem was not that there were no rules, but that there were too many. Soccer by then was no longer the wild, undisciplined running battle it had been, swarming in the fields or the city streets. It had been brought to "some degree of order", to quote a soccer historian, "In the public schools but independently, so that each school had evolved its own set of laws of the game, conditioned by the size of its own pitch and by whether that pitch was a grass meadow, a stone courtyard or cloisters." Boys Carry Game The boys, becoming young men, took their enthusiasm for I football to the universities and j then to the towns where they lived and worked. If they were to continue play ' ing and matching themselves against some other teams, there had to be some agreement as to what was legal and what was nol. I Thus was formed the English Football Association, and the first complete set of laws af fecting the game emerged. They have changed little since then. The differences in the rules then and when an estimated $6 million worth of talent ran on to the field in a Centenary Com memoration game here are neg ligible. Styles have changed, but the more important rules remained the same as the game was taken to every comer of the earth. A capacity crowd of lOii.OOO. paying record receipts of 80.000 pounds ($252,000), jammed Lon don't historic Wembley Stadium on the day when world soccer leaders' and players paid tribute to the English Football Associa tion by pitting the greatest-ever collection of foreign stars against the England Intcrnation- al team. Players from Russia, Yugo slavia, world champion Brazil, Chile, West Germany, Czecho slovakia, Italy, Scotland, Spain, France and Portugal were standing by to don the shirt of the World All-Stars, a team sel ected by a special committee of the International Football Federation (FIFA) which con trols world soccer. . Famed Players The men on the field are household names everywhere the game is played. Scheduled to play were such stars as Pele and Garrincha of Brazil, so well known by their nicknames that few people know their real names; Euscbio, the "Black Flash" from Mozambique; .loe Masopust, the great Czcchoslo vakian wing-half; Alfredo di Stefano of Argentina and Spain, reckoned the greatest center' forward of all time and Denis Law, the flamboyant Scot. The FIFA team alone is in sured for 2 million pounds ($5. 600.000). The English selection is worth roughly 500,000 pounds (SI.400.OUO). Denis Follows, secretary of th Fnnlich PnntKall 1,! , tion. said "The game of soccer is THE game. And it has come I a long way since the first ln j ternational matches played by England against Scotland back 'in 1871-72. The first FA. Cup final, early in 1872, drew 'some 2,000 people' according to our records. Now millions watch the big games on television and eurovision." It is generally agreed the game really began to spread with formation of FIFA in 1904. Surprisingly, the English were against this move. But after re ceiving the idea with some cool ness, partly because it seemed a challenge to the authority of the English ruling body, the football association joined in 1906. It withdrew for a while after the first world war refus ing to be associated with Ger many, Austria and Hungary. England Rejoins England rejoined in 1924 and pulled out again four years later after a squabble over pay ing "broken time" expenses to amateurs. England didn't comj back into the fold until 1946 and since '.hen has played a leading role in the world organization, the president of which is Eng lishman Sir Stanley Rous. I One of the few major coun tries where soccer is still strug gling to gain support is the United States. Fi.-,n blow to the spread of soccer in tl.e United States came in 1876 when American universities adopted rugby. Then, when prolessijnil American football became es tablished on a firm tinancial basis in the mid-20's soccer, al ways in need of money, virtual ly folded. Until very recently I when immigration boosted the ' sport, crowds of 4.000 were aen- i sational. 1 But the United States is rep resented in FIFA and -I i ill Mc- Guire. America's d e I ? g d t r, claims a growing interest in ilie game in the colleges where "every lad, whatever his size, can play as against qualifica tions for the baskiSbi'll or Amer ican football squad where height and weight play such important roles." Biggest day in the history of United States soccer came dur ing the 1950 world cup in Brazil when the American toam beat England 1-0 to send fan here reaching for the cymide. McGuire happily forecasts: "It may happen again one day." LET LINE BIFOCALS SHOW YOUR AGS!

(UPI) - The trumpeter swan once threat ened with extinction by old fashioned feather-bedders is : fighting for survival in the lone ly rushes of a South Dakota wildlife refuge. The trumpeter's battle took a turn for the better this spring when five cygnets (baby swans) were born to two couples in the Lacreck National Wildlife ref- i ugc near Martin. I They were the first trumpet ers to be bred east of the Rocky mountains in 80 years. Naturalists' elation turned to bitter disappointment when three of the baby swans died. But James Monnie, refuge manager at Lacreck. said "ac tually the hatch was very en couraging because now we do know they will nest here. "Of course, it was quite a dis appointment when three of the five young didn't survive, but it is not too alarming," he said. "This happens often in all forms of wildlife." The actual causes of death of the cygnets is not known be cause refuge officials cannot find the bodies. They are the orizing that either a hailstorm or a predator, killed them. A third possibility, which Monnie gives less credence, is disease. Was Abundant Once the trumpeter largest of the water fowl was abund ant in North America. They ranged as far north as the Arc tic and as far south as Missouri. They appeared as far east as Wisconsin and Indiana and fur trailers carried on a traffic in swan skins which had been plucked for feather bedding. The majestic bird, which has a wing span of seven to eight foot, was threatened with ex tinction in the late 19th cen tury. Ho made a final stand in the high mountain country o( Yellowstone National park in the mid-:to's. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife service established the Red Hock Lakes refuge in Montana in 19115 to protect the dwindling flock. All the i:t captive birds and seven wild birds who have sot up housekeeping on muskr.it houses in the refuge at Lacreek from Red Rock. Thirteen more of the s w a n s have left the refuge and have been reported in the Kadoka Wall area about 60 miles away. The birds are kept captive for a year before they are released to the wild. With the success at Red Rock, attempts were made to breed these swans in other parts of the continent. The first to be bred in captivity are now nest ing at the Delta Waterfowl re search station in Manitoba, Can ada. The two surviving cygnets at Lacreck are the only living trumpeters born east of the Rockies. Are Optimistic Monnie said: "We are very optimistic now that the swans are wintering here and ranging out into the surrounding coun tryside. We like to see the birds ranging away from the refuge, even though they have been re turning here for the winter." The success at Lacreek brings the trumpeter back again to the permanent water area of t h c prairies, hereditary breed ing grounds of these great white birds. There are only an estimated 600 of the birds in the continen tal United States, with about 1, 5(H) more in Canada and Alaska. The bird averages about four feet tall and weighs from 20 to 30 pounds. Monnie is cautiously optimis tic about the future. "We hope to build up a large, strong flock in this area where the bird is native, but there arc so many unknowns." he said. "For in stance, we don't know how suc cess in future hatches will be." LEFT'S RIGHT NEW YORK (Uri) - Most ' right-handed people find it eas i ier to wash dishes from right . to left.
