fin" corner of the field with regularity and reeled off two quick kicks that were a bit of artistry. Joe Loftin's play at fullback was outstanding.

• Thirteen immortals played that great game against Colgate's Red Raiders last Saturday at the Yankee Stadium.

• They brought home to New Orleans one of the greatest victories ever scored over an Eastern opponent.

• Given only an outside chance of upsetting the Little Giants of the Chenango Valley, a team boasting an uncrossed goal line in sixteen consecutive games and unbeaten since 1931, the Green Wave rolled unfalteringly to a clean cut, 7 to 0 victory.

o The two substitutes, Bucky Bryan and Stanley Lodrigues played jam-up football while they were in the game.

•

••

• Earl Sparling, who gave Tulane the name of "Green Wave" back a number of years ago when he was a student at the institution, was at the game. Sparling, now on the editorial staff of the New York World T elegram, is well known in New York for his book depicting the life of Ivar Kreuger, the Swedish match king.

• It was a great inspirational team that Coach Ted Cox sent to the field. Captain Floyd "Little Preacher" Roberts led in the sweep that sent Colgate down to defeat.

Roberts was a demon on defense, a raging riot on offense and a galloping gridiron ghost on that long, 76-yard run to the winning touchdown. He also kicked the extra point to cement the victory.

••

Charles "Buck" O'Neill, sports writer of the New York Evening Journal, is a great booster of Louisiana . O'Neill spent two springs at New Orleans when the Yankees trained here, and writes about the great cooking of Louisiana at every opportunity.

• Roy Ary and Bob Simons played the entire game at tackles and did a great job.

Their work could not have been improved on any football field. Charlie Calhoun and Bill Schroeder were equally as effective at guards. Dick Hardy and Charlie Kyle were there all the route at ends.

•

••

• Paul Kieffer of the New York Evening Post, an alumnus of William and Mary, was greatly interested in the Green Wave and familiar with the traditions and history of the University.

• Homer Robinson came into his own at center. "Robby" played as great a game as any Wave pivotman ever turned in. His fierce tackling in backing up the line on defense was perfection. His passing of the ball was a symphony.

•

••

• Jimmy Powers of the New York News and his staff have a weekly argument on Thursdays during the football season as they make their gridiron forecasts on Southern games.

• Buck Cheeves, one of the officials, was quoted after the game as declaring that John McDaniel's quarterback play was as fine as he had ever witnessed.

• They claim that eastern Conference balanced that they country to forecast success.

• Cheeves also added that McDaniel's tackling was the finest he had seen this year.

• Little Monk Simons' kicking was certainly the best seen on ~ Tulane team in years.

Mississippi Today is Mississippi Day at New Or~ leans.

MacKechnie is assisted by two fine, capable young coaches, Edwin "Goat" Hale and Russ Crane.

Thousands of visitors from our neighboring state are here to make it a great occasion and see their football favorites battle the Tulane Green Wave.

•

••

Hale is remembered wherever foot~ ball is played in the South as the famous halfback who led Mississippi College to one triumph after another over major foes back in 1920 and 1921.

President Hugh Critz of Mississippi State, Governor Mike Connor and Sen~ ator Pat Harrison are among those here for the game.

•

The Maroon of Mississippi State is an honored foe, typifying clean sports~ manship and hard play, on any football field.

••

We also want to take this occaSIOn to express our pleasure over having so many members of the Mississippi daily press with us today. We hope they will come agam soon.

Tulane salutes this splendid old friend and rival.

•

The alumni of Mississippi State who reside in New Orleans have been active~ ly cooperating for weeks in trying to make the game a great event. They are to be commended for their untiring ef~ forts toward this end.

Captain A. R. MacKechnie, the new head coach of the Maroons, has done a great job in his first year at the helm.

• He says he'll never forget the great game Bill Banker played that day.

His teams have jumped into respect throughout the South.

e Alan Gould, Eddie Niel and Foster Hailey of the Associated Press staff are also greatly interested in the Southern teams.

Their valiant stand against the Van~ derbilt Commodores for a 7 to 7 tie won acclaim from all sides.

• Hailey, who covered the Wave-Colgate game, worked on the New Orleans Item a number of years back and recalled all of the Tulane stars of those days.

The Origin

0/ Rugby Football

:By PARKE H. DAVIS saw in the exploit an opportunity for a great change on the game. After a time the idea was supported by a majority of the school leaders and at last was the subject of favorable action by a Bigside Levee.

At first the privilege of carrying the ball was limited to the return of kicks cleanly caught, just as performed by Ellis, then the right was extended to kicks taken on the first bound, and at last to balls received in any manner.

In the next few years an involved game based on the central principle of carrying the ball arose at Rugby and was imitated by teams outside of Rugby, the latter finally organizing into the Rugby Football Union. It is from the 'code of the latter that our game was taken bodily in 1876 by delegates III convention from Columbia, Harvard, Princeton and Yale.

Rugby School in England was founded in 1567.

The origin of organized football among the boys of the eighteenth century has passed into oblivion but from the earliest memories and records football was played at Rugby. Old time foo~ball, however, was under few and simple rules. The players upon a side were either unlimited or limited. If unlimited it was called a Bigside of football.

If limited, a Littleside of football. Two playing fields were designated by these same names, Bigside and Littleside. Sides at Bigside were formed by choosing in all who wished to play. Side lines and goal lines were marked ,by objects rather than by lines.

Carrying the ball was forbidden.

A player who caught a punt might "heel" his catch and thereby obtain a free kick at goal, just as we do today, with goal posts aho , like ours, or he might take one step and return the punt.

The game which you are watching to-day is the direct derivative of the game founded by William Webb Ellis.

But there came a crisp November day in 1823 .

Over a hundred boys had assembled and been chosen in for B;O'side.

The 'game soon was in action. Up and down surged the ball but without a score. Thus the time wore on until the school bell trembled on the first strike of five the last of which would terminate the game.

A long sailing punt came down the field, the last effort of the kicking side to score. Out from the mass of players on the receiving side ranged a young Rugbyian to make the catch. His name was William Webb Ellis .

By a violent effort he stoops and cleanly catches the ball just as it is about to strike the ground. Under t he rules he could have held his catch and then taken a free kick at the goal or he might have taken one step and returned the kick.

With the inspiration ' of desperation, however, and contrary to rule and custom he tucked the ball under his arm and started straight up the field with the ball . His opponents angere d by his flag¡ rant foul attempted to seize ,him and throw him down but warding off all, one after another, and zig-zagging in and out, he finally crossed his opponents' goal line just as the first peal of five resounded on the air.

William Webb Ellis was a town boy of Rugby.

He entered the school in December, 1816, at the age of eleven years.

The school records show that he was a scholar of pronounced ability. Upon leaving Rugby School he entered Brasenose College at Oxford.

Later he was ordained in the ministry and for several years acted as incumbent of the Church of St. Clement Danes, Strand, and subsequently as the Rector of Laver Magdalen in E,sex. He died January 24, 1872.

In an ivy grown wall at Rugby has been placed a tablet preserving to world-wide football posterity the name and exploit of this school-boy 'genius .

I t reads as follows:

THIS STONE COMMEMORATES THE EXPLOIT OF WILLIAM WEBB ELLIS WHO WITH A FINE DISREGARD OF THE RULES OF FOOTBALL

In those days ,contested points, games and changes in the rules were decided III a schoo l tribunal, held under the elms and called a Bigside Levee. The sensational performance of Ellis was severely condemned generally throughout the school, but as davs came and went there arose here and there throughout the school a few who

THE KID'S GATE

huddle. "11-36-63-1 Oth row from the top -hep" and en masse the kids dashed for the stand.

Anyone of them might be an embryonic Roberts, or a potential Robinson. Certainly there are numerous aspirants to the glamorous position of pigskin star among the hundreds of youngsters who flock to the Kid Gate at the Tulane Stadium each Saturday.

Outside, eager, excited children staunchly defended their right to places in line. They are of every shape and size. Fat boys, skinny boys, lanky boys and little fellows.

There are freckled-faced lads with red hair, barefoot kid dies and stiffly starched kid dies.

Here, for the total sum of 25 copper pennies, the youngest of football enthusiasts are admitted to the Scoreboard end of the field.

Instituted through the efforts of Dr. Wilbur C. Smith, Wave Athletic Director, and the Athletic Council a number of years ago, the kid section has become the holiday mecca for youngsters from all around the town.

It's almost time for the kickoff. One pathetic little fellow lingers outside the gate, longingly gazing inside.

"Hey, mister," timidly he sidles up to the gate guard, "how much is it to get in?"

"Quarter, sonny."

"Aw, gee'" the little fellow started to turn away.

"Oh, Boy' in at last '" shouted one towheaded, snub-nosed tike at the recent Auburn game. "Come on, gang."

The gate guard bent over and whispered to him. The youngster beamed and nodded assent. The guard twisted a button off the boy's shirt and the youngster ran into the stadium as the guard dropped a two-bit piece into the coin box and a button into his pocket.

And ten other Tulane ponies, their skinned knees and scratched noses giving mute evidence of many a grim football battle in vacant lots, treked after him. Inside the gate, the miniature team went into a 22

BASEMENT, GIBSON HALL

I> A. M. WILKINS has flown the night air mail over 150,000 miles for TWA. It takes healthy nerves to hang up a record like that!

IT ~ MORE FUN TO KNOW Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other popular brand.

They are milder, richer in flavor.

They never tire your taste or get on your nerves.

• WILKINS joins a fellow pilot, W. Niedernhofer, at Newark Airport, for a chat and a smoke. "Camels never ruffle or jangle my nerves," Wilkins says.

STEADY SMOKERS TURN TO CAMELS

A. M. WILKINS, air-mail ace, says: "It's a steady grind, all right, living up to our tradition that the mail must go through! That's why I smoke Camels. And I smoke plenty!

Camels never ruffle or jangle my nerves, and I like their mild, rich flavor."

Camels never tire the taste-never get on the nerves. Your taste and your nerves will confirm this. Start smoking Camels today and prove it for yourself.
