He dreamt it was Buddha's birthday and that Yang Kwam was under a huge canvas canopy on a university campus where the ground was a hard sandless desert. Those under the canvas were resting and drinking as the others played soccer; but Sang Huin was alone on a dry and grassless bluff that overlooked the activity.
The American game of football called Rugby is a development of the English game, but the present game is very different from the English game of soccer or association football, in which kicking predominates and where a round ball is used instead of the oval-shaped American football.
As a game, soccer is fast and exciting, and splendid opportunities are given for team work; but for some reason it has not succeeded in displacing our American game of Rugby, although possibly it is more interesting for the spectator.

Never again will I complain to you that there is no excitement in Wolverhampton. I got home from Birmingham yesterday noon and since then everything has been perfectly absurd. I can only believe you have gone balmy. First comes your wire about Mr. Blair and your having hurt your arm playing soccer. What you can have been doing at soccer I can't conceive.
"From the looks of Cadet Astro, free-fall wrestling should be child's play for him!" Astro merely grinned. "Mercuryball is pretty much like the old game of soccer," explained Houseman. "But inside the ball is a smaller ball filled with mercury, making it take crazy dips and turns. You have to be pretty fast even to touch it." "Sounds like you have to be a little Mercurian yourself," smiled Tom.
All the men at Oriel who know about things are either cricket or soccer blues, so I don't hear much about rugger there, though every one is nice enough and wants me to get into the XV." "Doesn't Adamson ever speak to you?" I asked, for he was captain of the 'Varsity XV. "Yes, but it is generally to tell me not to do something.
