e While Tulane's Green Wave spends industrious
Saturday afternoons trying to make football hislory,
another branch of the University is bringing
to light data on American. football of 2000 years
ago that makes the modern game almost tame by
comparison.
e For twenty centuries ago the super-thrilling,
death-defying ancestor of the modern gridiron pastime
originated under the tropic skies of Yucatan
and southern Mexico and Guatemala, where the
local lads who made good had to be just about the
toughest lot of athletes in the Western Hemisphere.
Started by the highly-civilized Mayas, the ancient
and honorable American pastime spread so rapidly
to that part of north-central Mexico, later to be
inhabited by the Aztecs, that in time even the gods
were rumored to be enthusiastic players, and one
of the first All-Americans was the great Aztec
Emperor Moctezuma himself l
e just like all other sports, the original American
football game didn't begin full-Hedged with the
present-day rulebook and whistle-blowing officials
and trainers in patriotic green pants. As a matter
of fact, the Walter Camps and Walter Eckersalls
of 1999 years ago or thereabouts wouldn't have
called it football at all. It embodied early basketball.
too, and its inventors-the Mayas-called it
pok-ta-pok. When the Aztecs got hold of the game,
they dubbed it tlachtli. But that's pretty much tbe
same as calling halfbacks wingbacks and centers
snapperbacks.
e As it began when Rome ruled the waves and
Frenchmen wore bearskins as their Sunday best,
football wasn't just Football. That is, the ball wasn't
kicked with the foot, and scores were produced by
persuading the ball to pass through a perpendicular
rin�t high in a stone wall; but For downright
physical activity, football was Football from the
beginning. The rougher the better, agreed the
spectators happily. When players died of exhaustion
or injuries (which they did, frequently) during
play, everyone felt it had been a particularly
fine game. The earliest grid clashes on this side of
the world would have been the answer to a football
reformer's prayer.
e All this and more about the great-great-greatgranddaddy
of 1933 football is being studied by Tulane's
Department of Middle American Research,
and much of it has been summari'l:ed in a recent
publication-a pamphlet by Frans Blom, director of
the Department, entitled "The Maya Ball-game
pok-ta-pok, called tlachtli by the Aztecs".
e It was the roughest game the world has ever
seen-no doubt about that. Two teams, either
amateur or professional, met in a stone-walled enclosure
something like an enlarged modem handball
court. High in opposite walls were set twin
stone rings, the holes perpendicular to the Aoor
instead of parallel with the Aoor as in modern basketball.
The ball was made of crude rubber-the
first rubber balls ever seen by Europeans-and
since it was only a little bit smaller than the holes,
it made the game a jlood deal like trying to play
billiards with tennis-balls. When the ball went
through the hole, the game was over, though it is
Maya
believed that other feats must have counted in
scoring. And the player who sent the sphere
through the hole found himself instantly elevated
to being a sort of· super-player, a combination of
Red Grange, Bo McMillin, Red Cagle. Marchie
Schwartz. Jim Thorpe and Bill Banker.
e And no wonder it was difficult-players weren't
allowed to hit the ball with hands, heads. arms,
feet. or the calves of their legs. Only knees and
hips and buttocks could be used, and if you think
that's easy, get yourself a large bath-sponge and go
down into the cellar some Sunday and try it. Yet
the Mayas were so handy at this odd pastime that
Diego Duran, a sixteenth-century Spanish historian,
wrote that he saw Mayas play For an hour without
once letting the ball touch the ground, and yet
they never us<:d any part of their bodies to hit it
with save hips, buttocks and knees I
e SmalJ wonder the casualty-list was lengthy and
substitutes had frequently to be sent in during the
game.
e And as For fans: even the most rabid of presentday
grid followers would dof his hat to the spectators
at a pok·ta-pok clash a thousand years ago.
It Wl;\8 quite usual to bet jewelry, slaves, the best
of clothing, weapons and even beautiful young
women. But when the going really got good, patriotic
followers of the teams from dear old Kashuinik
or their old alma mater Scajcabaja Frequently
went the limit to back their choice against the
pride of Tlachyahualco or some other aggregation,
by selling their children to obtain betting-capital
or even wagering their own freedom against a
couple of handfuls of cocoa-beans or a fine piece
of carved jade. And if they lost, they became fulltime
slaves of the winner, until they worked out
their Freedom or faithful relatives paid for it.
e Naturally, this grand old game had its special
patron goddess. In the more northerly circuit she
was Xochiquetzal, the. A'l:tec Venus, goddess of
love, lust and gambling.
e The professional gamblers took few chances in
the early days of the American game. The night
before some prehistoric Big Game, the ball and the
players uniforms were worshipped, clouds of burning
incense surrounding them, and then Food and
wine were brought and ofered to the uniforms and
ball. At dawn, the gamblers religiously ate the
Food, drank the wine, and then strutted about offering
to fight to the death anybody who was unimpressed
enough to say unkind things about these
elaborate preparations.
e While no list of early All-Americans bas been
preserved by historians, there is a record of what is
probably the most famous of all the early American
grid games-a contest between picked teams
captai�ned respectively by the Emperor Moctezuma
of Mexico and No'l:aualpilli, Lord of T ex coco. But
even of this stellar engagement there exists no record
of score or players. e A complete set of rules for the ancestor of football
is being sought by the Department of Middle
American Research. It ought to be worth comparing
with the modern rules-especially those governing
penalties for unnecessary roughness.

• Perhaps some of us have forgotten how Tulane's
varsity teams got the name of "Green Wave.'' It is
to Edward Earl Sparling, of Oklahoma City, Okla ..
that credit goes for giving Tulane teams that "nom
de grid."
e Sparling, class of 1921. was editor of the Tulane
Weekly as a student, and also gave that publication
a new name which yet survives, The Hullabaloo. Incidentally,
The Jambalaya, of 192 I, gives Sparling
full credit for the name "Green Wave."
e It all came about through a poem that l:e wrote,
titled "The Rolling Green Wave." It is not amiss
to recite it here:
They rolled their own in the army;
And the fair femmes rolled 'em, too;
But they roll the other fellow
Down by the Hullabaloo.
CHORUS
Oh, roll 'em; roll 'em; roll 'em;
Roll 'em, you Rolling Green Wave;
Give 'em what they came for-
Give 'em a deep green grave.
Fight 'em; fight 'em: fight 'em;
Fight 'em, old T. U.
Oh, if they won't say you're master,
just roll 'em some till they do.
Now Tech's got a Gold Tornado,
And Alabama a Thin Red Line:
But we've got a Rolling Green Breaker
That'll cover 'em every time.
CHORUS
Oh, break 'ern: break 'ern: break 'em;
Break 'em, you Great Green Wave;
Break 'em; shake 'em; make 'em
Lie down in the deep green grave.
Ram 'em; jam 'em; cram 'em;
At ·ern, old T. U.
And if they don't say you're master,
just keep it up till they do.
9
The Tiger's got his stripes on,
And the War Skule thinks he's mean,
But the growls will cease, for the raging beast
Will down in the old Green Wave.
• • •
e Perhaps you didn't know Tulane had more than
a couple of songs. Alma Mater and Roll On, Tulane,
are the ones we usually think of when the
subject arises. We are presenting eight songs in
the program this year, however, with musical arrangement,
to familiarize Tulanians with the many
good songs that have been written for the institution.
One new one, at least, will appear in each
issue of the Greenie.
• • •
e The most pleasing feature of Tulane's game
against Georgia at Athens last week was that of
ofense.
e While the Greenies lost the game, their ofense
showed a great improvement over the previous Saturday.
The Wave, in slashing of seventeen first
downs compared with nine for the Bulldogs. appeared
to hold a decisive edge in running attack.
The loss, while generally attributed to fumbles and
stumbles, might be more technically ascribed to the
erratic defense.
e Coach Ted Cox and his chief assistant, Lester
Lautenschlaeger, were the first to recognize that
point, and have spent the entire week in attempting
to correct it.
e The Greenies have a great chance to bolt back
into the top ranks starting today. Their opportunity
is broadened with Georgia Tech, Auburn and
Colgate on the next successive week-ends.
• The team will do its part. It showed no lack
of courage against Georgia, taking a place among
the gridiron gallants of all tjme in the South as it
fought hom a 20 to 0 disadvantage to get back
into the Georgia game in the second half.

The University
e The University o£ Maryland comprises the Colleges
of Agriculture, Engineering, Education, Arts
and Sciences. and Home Economics, Graduate
School. the Department of Military Science and Tactics,
the Extension Service and the Agricultural Experiment
Station at College Park and the Schools
of Law, Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry and Hospital
in Baltimore.
e Originally the University was two separate in·
stitutions, the University of Maryland, founded in
Baltimore in 1807 under the name of the College of
Medicine of Maryland, and the Maryland State College,
founded in 1856 at College Park as Maryland
Agricultural College.
e The beginning of the university was in 1807,
when a charter was granted to the College of Medicine
of Maryland. A permanent home, established
in 1814-15, at Lombard and Greene streets in Baltimore,
now is the oldest structure in America devoted
to medical teaching.
e In 1812, the General Assembly of Maryland au·
thorized the College of Medicine of Maryland to
"Annex or constitute faculties of divinity, law and
arts and sciences,'' these to be constituted an university,
under the title of University of Maryland.
In I 813 a move was made to establish a "faculty
of law," and in 1823 a school of law was opened.
Subsequently a college of dentistry. school of pharmacy
and school of nursing were added.
e In 1856, prominent planters in the southern part
of Maryland became interested in Von Liebig, the
eminent German scientist. They thereupon deter·
mined to establish a school where the sons of farm·
ers of Maryland could receive instruction along the
lines of scientific agriculture. In that year, an act
"to establish and endow an agricultural college in
the State of Maryland, .. was passed by the legislature.
At that time no other institution of similar
character existed in the United States. The express
purpose was defined to be "to instruct the youthful
students in those acts and sciences indispensable to
successful agricultural pursuit.
.
. Under the charter
thus granted to a party of public-spirited private individuals
the original college building was erected,
and the doors opened to students jn the Fall of
1859.
e For several years it was conducted as a private
institution, but the financial disasters and general
depression of the Civil War caused the college to
appeal for aid to the State Legislature in 1866. This
appeal was granted as after the acceptance of
the teTms of a grant under the "Land Grant Act" of
1862, the college was brought under the partial control
of the State. Other acts, passed later, gave
further financial help.
e Maryland Agricultural College was a military
school, and continued as such until nineteen years
ago. The original barracks for the housing of students
was completed in 1859. but other structures
came slowly. In 1894 a new building for gymnasium
and Hbrary was provided. In 1904 an Administration
building was completed and connected
with the barracks by a covered bridge. These two
buildings were completely destroyed by fire on the
night of November 29th, 1912. Fortunately, the
laboratories, shops, and greenhouses escaped the
fire, and as only two recitation rooms were destroyed,
the institution continued, comparatively
uninterrupted. Following the 6re, eforts were
made to change the location of the college, but,
after some discussion, the present site was retained. I6
of Maryland
e In the Fall of 1914, control was taken over entirely
by the State. In 19 16, the General Assembly
granted a new charter to the college, making it
Maryland State College. This charter was carefully
drawn up with a view toward preventing political
interference, and placing the college on an equal
footing with the State Colleges of the other States.
• The institution grew slowly for a time following
the lire in 19 12, at which time there were approximately
only 130 students, but each advanced step
in its status brought response along all lines until
now more than 1,900 are enrolled at College Park.
e An act of the State Legislature in 1920 brought
the Old University of Maryland and the Maryland
State College together as the University of Maryland.
e Naturally, the increase in facilities had to be
marked to keep step with the great growth of the
student body. The Baltimore schools of the University,
which have appro"imately 1.600 students,
ljke the ones at College Park, have had greatly increased
facilities, and within the next year or so
will have a line new hospital costing $2,000,000.

ATHLETIC HISTORY
e The history of athletics at Maryland is as romantic
as the story of the growth of the institution.
Although getting authenticated data on the genesis
of sports is like trying to lind a needle in a haystack,
the fact is practically established that baseball
was the first form of athletics instituted on the
College Park campus.
e Baseball is the first sport mentioned in any of
the publications of the institution and in newspaper
accounts. However, while some of the teams were
rather informal, they performed in the name of
the Maryland Agricultural College as early as 1886,
and had considerable success. In fact, the team of
1887 traveled to Annapolis, beat St. john' s in the
morning and Navy on the afternoon of the same
day.
e Football was put on an established basis at College
Park in the Fall of 1892: the school meeting
St. John's, Western Maryland, and Johns Hopkins
in that year. However, it was not until 1889, when
George Hoblit:�:ell organized a team, that the real
foundation for Football at College Park was laid.
The informal outfit formed in that year continued
to function in 1890 and 1891, and played several
games with teams from nearby towns.
e Track, with Wm. C. Nesbitt as captain and Joe
Eyster as manager, and tennis are mentioned in the
1897-98 term, but, evidently, neither acquired a
firm foothold until the following year. In 1928-29,
a track team of considerable ability seems to have
been produced, with j. Bernard Robb as manager
and Matthew H. Galt, an all-around performer, as
captain.
e E. E. Powell (then a freshman), in the Spring of
1910, appears to have been the man to give lacrosse
its impetus at College Park. A picture, with no
names beneath it, and mention of two games against
Baltimore City College, with no scores recorded,
appeared in the annual of that year. However, it
was not until 19 I I that the first regular schedule
was played.

In meeting Maryland today for the first
time in football, it marks the fourth institution
from the group of ten now comprising
the Southern Conference that the Wave has
played.
The Creenies met Washington and Lee in
1 9 1 I and 1 9 1 9, played the University of
North Carolina i.n 1 9 2 2 and South Carolina
in 1 932.
So, welcome, Old Liners.

The University of Maryland
(Coutiuued from page 16)
e Basketball was mentioned as far back as 1905,
but no results were given. Although other teams
represented the Maryland Agricultural College in
the years following. the sport was not established
on a firm basis until the gymnasium was made
available in the Fall of 1923.
e The lack of talent for teams in the late 80's
and early 90's greatly hindered Maryland's athletic
prowess. This is illustrated very readily by the
fact that there were only 40 students in 1888, and
32 in 1890.
e It was in the fall of 1912, just twenty-one years
ago, that H. C. (Curley) Byrd, an alumnus and now
vice-president, as well as athletic director and head
football coach. came to College Park. Through
his excellent coaching, athletics at Maryland began
their great uphill climb. Now the Old Line teams
meet the best in the leading sports, and score their
share of victories, many of which are very notable.
Maryland's teams have gained national recognition
in all the major sports, and are consistently in the
limelight.
e When Curley Byrd began his job, there were
practically no facilities for athletics, much less
teams of a high caliber. However, at the present
time, Maryland has an athletic layout that stands
on an equal basis with the best in the South and
compares favorably with most of the athletic sys·
terns and teams in the country.

e WILKINS joins a fellow pilot, W. Niedernhofer, at
Newark Airport, for a chat and a smoke. "Camels never

STEADY SMOKERS
TURN TO CAMELS
A. M. WILKINS, air-mail ace, says : "It's a
steady grind, all right, living up to OUl' tradition
that the mail must go th1·ough! That's
why I smoke Camels. And I smoke plenty !
Camels never rufle or jangle my nerves, and
I like their mild, rich flavor."
Camels never tire the taste-never get on
the nerves. Y<n r taste and your nerves will
confirm this. Start smoking Camels today and
prove it for yom·self.
