104 SportsfBoys'VorsitySoccer arsit Soccer Scores in League Futbal is an International sport. But how different the football of our United States is. The difference is that in Europe they play futbol with a round ball and here in the States we play foot- ball with an egg shaped ball that has points on each end. What happened was, somewhere through the ylears, the Americans got confused. May e on the way over from Europe the news of the great sport got confused or completely erased from someone's memory, so the game of soccer didn't arrive until years later. When the sport got here, the title of football was already taken, by the egg shaped ball. This caused a common anger to run throu h the people. The people wanted to kifl the lady who fail- ed to bring the news of this great sport. Instead they began to chant, Soc-her, Soc-her, Soc-her and so the sport was named. The above story may have been altered through the years, but it does explain why soccer has taken so much longer to become a popular sport in America. Regardless of football being more popu ar at Diamond Bar, the boys' varsi- ty soccer team showed three walys to placy soccer. The soccer team p ayed un er a new coach, Don Garrett.
