Sport Geography. The U. S. game of football captured first the East, then the Midwest, then the Pacific Coast. As its conquest went on, great football teams sprang up in region after region to contest the supremacy of the sections where football first reigned. To the South football came later than to any other section. The University of Virginia, which is generally credited with starting the modern game of football in the South, sent a team to try out the North in 1890, two decades after the first intercollegiate game was played in New Brunswick, N.

...only objective would be a patch of woods across a ploughed field, but where men would be killed as dead as anywhere else in the taking or losing of it. It was not until the whole army halted and his detachment rested beside a quiet stream somewhere in the region of Pozuelo that Sommerfield knew the Franco advance had been broken and Madrid had been saved. Firing had died to an intermittent rumbling, far away. "We dabbled our feet in the icy water, and it was the first time we had taken our boots off for three weeks...
