Annoying Bladder Weakness of Old Age Kafrly I(ell-ved by SANTAL MIDY KolJ bj All DrutfilnU INDIANS OF SOUTH PLAY SOCCER GAME Football Said to Have Originated With Natives of Argentine BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 12. I Soccer of today is merelv an ! adaptation of an old Indian foot-i ball game in the Argentine, loeal; spertH writers say. The success; 'of the Argentine team at Amster-i dcm and its winning of the Olympic title has caused an unprecedented interest in the game here. Research shows, it is declared here, that the Indians of this country and Chile played a game much like the modern soccer long before the conquest of the country by the Spaniards. ! Thus before the days of the white man the Araucanoa of Chile and northern Argentine had "chueca" and linao" as ball game, the latter being called the true soccer of today, except that it was Hayed with the hands. Regret is expressed that the gaucho of Argentina never took up the Indian game, and It haa remained for the present feneration in this country to resurrect ah Indian pastime and win the world championship.
