Reference books were dun out, and now. being burdened with football lore, we'll steal Ridin' Hurd's stuff to unburden. The athletic Greeks originated football, the Romans carried it to England, and soccer football was the result. The birth of football as we know It was in Rugby, England, in 1823. During in lntcrclass soccer game some s;oil-5port eot mad and grabbed the ball and ran with it. which is strictly against the soccer rules. Some of the more radical Eng lish lads saw the advantage of this however, and running with the ball was legitlired In 1841. It was the birth of Rugby football. The first American game was played In 1869 when Rutgers de feated Princeton. This was a soc cer game. The' Arse Rugby was introduced In 1874 when McGUl of Canada played Harvard. The first half was soccer: they switched to Rugby for the second half. Yale and Harvard played a full Rugbv Rame the next year. Then the following year, 1876. five col leges formed a Rugby league. We can't pin it down for sure but this must have been the start of the Ivy League. The American game was stan dardized, with 11 players, in 1883. The btgeest change after that came in 1906 when the rules com mittee legalised forward passing. The forward pass wasn't fully ac cepted until Ous Dorias and Knute Rockne of Notre Dame showed how to do ft In 1913. That was a major turning point in the technique of modern football. The most sensational American TELLING THE EDITOR FLUORIDES KLAMATH FALLS. Ore Please Mr Editor, would you advise me whether or not this could happen to us, now that we are all going to be fluoridated. It Is related in Newsweek of May 14. 1951 that the herdsmen of the bucolic dalrylands near Provo, Utah, oegan complaining that their Holsteins were "looking poorly and acting queerly." So two veterinary scientists trucked seven ailing beasts to Logan to see If they could determine what was causing the strange malady. To quota from Newsweek: "The pair found the lake - country bo nnes lapping cold water. They could slurp in normal fa- hlon only when the water was heated to body temperature. Furthermore, the af flicted animals had great difficulty chewing bay. Inspection showed that the teeth of three-year-olds were as pilled a well-worn mo lars of fourteen-year old cattle. Be sides, Uie sick cows were lame, with thick, rough, and enlarged bone joints. "Chemical analysts led to a quick diagnosis: fluorosis. The: bones and teeth were .5 to . pet cent fluorine: one part per million Is considered normal. "Meantime, the researchers buckled down to study the extent and distribution ol fluorine In wa ter, soil, and air of Ihe Provo area and the etiect of the chemi cal on vegetation and other live stock. Residents were inclined to guess the fluorine Hood might be coming from the Geneva steel plant near Provo or the stacks of Ine Pacific Slates Cast Iron Pipe Co. at Ironton. Experts were not ho sure, bleclmaking elsewhere produced tio dangerous amounts of nuorine, allliougn an aluminum plant near Vancouver, Wash, had similaiiy poisoned cattle." It was never quite determined by the experts Just where the "fluorinaceous villain" was lo cated. To quote again from the same article: "The scientists had a warning for communities planning to put limited amount of fluorine in reservoirs. Before taking ac tion, these communities should lirst "very carefully" assay the natural fluorine content of the wa ter, ioodstulfs, and everything else that tlie people are likely to in gest. Otherwise unwary citizens might find themselves like the un happy cattle with aching motUed teeth, able to drink only heated water." I also wanted to know if It would be alright to send our dental bill to the City Council, in case any ol us should find ourselves "all mottled up" and unable to chew our hsy? "Fluorldaeeously" ysurs.

Nope, for the most sen sational performance you'll have to hand it to the Wheaton Iceman, Hnrold (Red! Orange. Twenty eight years ago Red Grange scored five touchdowns for Illinois against Michigan. Here's the wav he did it: Orange received' the opening klckoff on the 10-yard line and ran through the entire field for a touch down. Britton converted. Again Michigan kicked off to Grange, who fumbled and was downed on the 19-yard line. Michi gan took a kick, but lost the bail on downs on the Illinois 33. Grange ran his left end for touchdown. Britton converted. Orange had now made 159 yards In two plays. After an exchange. Michigan kicked and stopped the ball on the Illinois 44. This time Orange ran around his right end for H yards and the touchdown. Britton missed the kick. 20-0. Another klckoff. a Michigan fum ble and Illinois recovered on Mich igan's 45. Grange ran around his right end for a touchdown. Brit ton converted; 27-0. Grange bad carried the ball on five scrimmage plays and had run for four touchdowns, all In the first period. Galivan replaced Grange but, as John Carmlchael of the Chicago Daily News remarked, that was Just to keep 11 men on the field. Nobody ever replaced Red Orange They let Red play in the third quarter again and! be made the fifth touchdown. Thajt was the. beginning of the end for the strategy of waiting for the breaks, getting a touchdown and defending it from then on.

I want to disagree with some of his statements in his letter regarding the Reorganization Bill. Measure 320 is nol a compulsory act; It is merely an enabling meas ure to assist In and to hasten re organization needed by many dis tricts throughout the state. The loss of funds he mentions consists only of possible "emergency funds" al located to districts that are In need but that are unwilling to consoli date and take advantage of the benefits of consolidaUou. I agree with Mr. Peterson that the schools of Oregon are doing an excellent Job. However, much in equality exists in quality of teach ing, size of classes, equipment, en richment of curriculum, much of which can be eliminated through larger units offering unified pro grams of instruction of both ele mentary and secondary schools, at a saving to the tax-payer.

Frank Lohn, chief-of the Internal Revenue Bureau's intelligence divi sion, in an Interview summing up a year s administration of the law said It has brought In only a frac tion of the expected revenue, and has not materially reduced gam bling. The government collected prob ably less than nine million dollars In taxes, compared with congres sional estimates the take might oe too million. And, Lohn said. Instead of being forced out of business, gamblers "have Just gone underground.' However, he added the law Is a "deterrent to the gamming tratera Ity." INDKRGROl'ND Immediately after It went into effect he said there was a large seal suspension of activity along with a dive underground. "We know of places where gam bling Is still slowed up," Lohn add ed. Why hasn't the law worked? For one reason, the bureau hasn't enough men to enforce It. he said. Congress provided no extra money for additional person nel, and the bureau could spare only 100 men to Up the gambling world for taxes. Also, the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on whether the stamp lax Is constitutional. Last spring a fed eral Judge held It was not. Revenue officials say many gamblers be lieve the high court will overturn the law, and In the meantime they are not too afraid of violating it. CACHES The gambling tax law was a by product of two things: I. The Investigation by the crime committee of Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenni, which put the linger on gambling as the big money artery lo uujr iMa-Hi uvtupaiiuiHii tax stsmp. and to pay an excise tax amounting to 10 per cent Of their gross take. Gamblers reacted with hurt be wilderment. Payoffs, protection ! money, donations to good works ! all were always part of a gambler's 1 traditional overhesd. But not taxes. 1 Lohn sa d after the Initial large-1 scale dive underground, and sua-1 I pension of activity, msny gamblers resumed operations, iniuujr uiiu ground. 1 Definitely, he said, the law has not stopped gambling, or cut It , down to a small scale. INTENTION I Congress never ssid H Intended , to knock out the gambling business. But the Inference was plain be tween the lines of. the law. I The law provided that gamblers 1 step up to Internal Revenue of fices, state their business, place of business, Income and outgo, and buy a gaming stsmp. The names of persons who bought gaming sumps were to be posted. Locsk By Jimmy Htto f0 YOU ForasET WHAT 0 THEY DID TO OS VDtDHT 6ENP US A CHRISTVMS CARD IM 1942 ?

Nothing would make this column more popular than to announce that the wilier had the answer to the common cold, and that by following some simple directions or taking some easy remedy, revel ers could count on avoiding this annoying aflllcillon In the future, Partialis the time lo make such a happy statement will conic, but at present I shall have lo remain In the doghouse. Scarcely year goes by without the announcement of at least one new "wonder" cure for colds, Naturally, we are all so eagrr lo find some way of Helling rid of this miserable disorder that we ar eager to believe tho claims mnde fur practically anything. Ill suite of the enormous number ot "cold cures" on the market, the slatrmrnt that "no substance or cninblnal'on of substmicea avail rtblr at Hie present can be relied on to pren-ul or cure Hit common cold" still holds true. In the face of Una "selcnllllc" view, nose drops. Inhalants, liquid and solid medicines, gargles, spe cial diets, lemon cures, and a thousand and one oilier treatments will be u-ed all winter. Perhaps something really good will be found at any time. Any one. . however, who has lived iliiuiu:i the pi Nt U.v c.irs w,ll be somewhat skenllcnl about any new "discovery" uiilil It has been tried and tried again. The supply of moisture to ihe nose and throat by menus ol steam Inhalations is probably of some help during the early and I mean earlv stage of a cold. Alcohol (taken Internally) re mains a favorite with some, but there Is considerable doubt as to I wnriner n reauy neipa uie coiu . or merely malton It eas'er to loigct. Cathartics or 1 a x a 1 1 v e a are hardly desirable unless needed lor other reasons, and If used to ex tremes Hies may causo tco much Ions of fluids from the body. In the last year or so vaccines for colds given either bv Injection or by niouth hsve been suggested again. But the fact remains that carelul studies of such methods ol cold prevention have been far from convincing. The only thing which has really stood the test of time so far Is rest In bed. In all probability if everyone went to bed at the ursl sign of a cold and used steam Inhalations, their colds would not last so long. Such action would also cease lo cxpoe olhrra to their colds and therefore cut down on the numbers of them going around. This Is easy to say, but lew people try II.
