SPORT IN ENGLAND
The English national games are cricket, football, boxing and to a less extent, hockey, tennis and golf. Of these games the two which almost every English man plays are cricket and football.
Professionals and amateurs play cricket from May till September.
Each large town in England has a cricket club, the most famous and the oldest is the Marylebone Cricket Club (M. C. C.) in London. Most Commonwealth countries have their cricket teams and each of them sends a team to England to play with M. C. C, If the M. C. C. loses the game to the Commonwealth team it is usually a national disaster.
There are two kinds of football, soccer and rugby. Soccer is the game played almost throughout the world. In soccer there are two teams of eleven players each. Each tries to kick the leather ball through one of the goals which face one another at a distance of a hundred meters. No player except the goalkeeper may touch the ball with the hands.
Rugby is more complicated. Each side consists of fifteen players, one may carry the ball in th e hands, and the aim is to carry the ball over one of the two boundaries. Almost each of the boys played at public schools and Universities can play rugby.
Other English sports are rowing, horse racing, fox hunting and shooting.
