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."

Trumpeter Swans
To Make Comeback
By LARRY D. HATFIELD
MARTIN, S.D. (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."
