Mexican Football
At the end of the first half he rose in
his seat and lighted a cigar.
“Mexican football,” he said, “is not
j like this. It is called goniae. The
ball is of wood, and weighs five pounds.
The course is three miles long and
i eight yards wide.
, “Three players, each with a ball,
| start simultaneously from one goal,
and the man who kicks his hall tirst to
the goal three miles distant wins the
game.
•*It is an exciting game and a fast
game. Three mounted surgeons follow
tin* players, for. kicking so heavy a ball,
it frequently happens that a toe or an
ankle is broken.
“But in gomae, of course, the surgeons
don’t have so much to do as in our kind
of game.”
“What’s Bill doing now?’’
"Bill? Oh, he’s at college playing
tackle.”
“And Hank?”
“Hank’s a lawyer, helping to investi
gate all kinds of graft.”
“How about Sam?”
“A doctor. Discovered a germ last
week.”
“Well, well! And the old man?”
“Oh, the old man isn’t doing much
of anything except support Hill and
Sam and Hank.”
