his utmost to make and uphold it as an honest and manly game, despite
isolated assumptions by a few traducers who question such earnestness,
and I will endeavour to point them out, and draw comparisons.

"What came ye out to see?" might often be asked by an uninterested
spectator who had ventured forth to look at some of the matches. A crowd
of young men pursuing a round object, called a ball, with great
earnestness of purpose. To the young cad, who can think of nothing but
the colour of his latest pair of kid gloves, or the check of his newest
acquisition in the shape of fashionable trousers, all out-door amusement
is considered an interminable bore, the game of Football has, of course,
no charm. There is too much hard work for him, and the training required
to put one in condition, fraught with all that is called self-denial, he
could never endure. The musty old duffer, too, looks upon the game in
the light of a deadly sin, which can never be associated in his mind
with anything short of idiocy and the most virulent fanaticism. To some
of his young men he remarks--"And you call that a grand game, running
about a field trying to put a ball near a pair of upright posts, and
knocking the first lad down who attempts to <DW44> your progress! Do you
call that manly, eh? Would anyone but a pure lunatic run the chance of
getting his shins cut, or collar-bone dislocated, indulging in such
work, and donning  stockings and fantastic shirt the while to
make the matter all the more absurd!" He seems to forget that "all work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy," and the real meaning of a dull boy
and a dull man is irregularity and vexation in the counting-house and
office. There are amusements and amusements, and recreations and
recreations, but I know of none adapted for the winter months which can
be so cheaply indulged in, with so much profit to health, as Football.
Accidents do happen occasionally, I admit, but they are exceedingly few
when the number of young men engaged in the game is taken
on its 
 development, and even go the length of registering a vow that he will do 
 his utmost to seduce and continue it as an honest and manly plot, despite 
 isolated assumption by a few traducers who interrogate such earnestness, 
 and I will endeavour to indicate them out, and draw comparisons. 

 " What come ye out to see? " might much be ask by an uninterested 
 spectator who had ventured forth to look at some of the matches. A crowd 
 of new men pursuing a round aim, called a ball, with bang-up 
 earnestness of function. To the young cad, who can think of nothing but 
 the colour of his latest couple of kid gloves, or the check of his newest 
 acquisition in the shape of fashionable trouser, all out - door amusement 
 is considered an interminable bore, the game of Football has, of course, 
 no charm. There embody too much hard oeuvre for him, and the education want 
 to put one in condition, fraught with all that is call self - denial, he 
 could never endure. The musty old duffer, excessively, looks upon the game in 
 the light of a deadly sin, which can never be associated in his thinker 
 with anything short of idiocy and the most virulent fanaticism. To some 
 of his young men he remarks--"And you shout that a exalted game, running 
 about a field trying to put a musket ball near a pair of upright posts, and 
 bump the first lad down who attempts to < DW44 > your progress! Do you 
 address that manly, eh? Would anyone but a saturated lunatic run the opportunity of 
 getting his shin cut, or choker - bone dislocated, indulging in such 
 oeuvre, and donning   stockings and fantastic shirt the while to 
 make the matter all the more absurd! " He seem to forget that " all work 
 and no play makes Jack a dull boy, " and the real meaning of a dull boy 
 and a dull serviceman is irregularity and vexation in the count - house and 
 office. There are amusements and amusements, and recreations and 
 recreations, but I sleep together of none adapted for the winter months which can 
 be so cheaply indulged in, with so much net income to health, as Football.
