FOOTBALL IN JAPAN. Amongst the many things that Japan borrowed from China was football, said to have been intro- duced as early as the middle of the seventh century. The Emperor Toba II. was an expert player, and got; up a club at his palace. Considering how averse most Orientals are to hard work and rigorous exercise, it may be supposed that the game was very different from either "Rugger" or "Socker." Nevertheless, the Japanese form seem* to have been popular, and we may trace the lbeginming of professionalism to an Emperor and his Court, of whom it is told that in a time of poverty they earned a little extra money by teaching the art of football.
