Excerpt from Sports That Kill Laughs louder or more than I do. But for the sports and recreations of life I should have been dead long ago. God has done every thing to please and amuse us. In poetic figure we sometimes speak of natu ral Objects as being in pain, but it is a mere fancy. Poets say the clouds weep, but they never yet shed a tear; and that the winds sigh, but they never did have any trouble; and that the storm howls, but it never lost its temper. The world is a rose, and the universe a garland. When there are so many inno cent things to please and recreate, let us keep Off dangerous territory.

Excerpt from Killing for Sport: Essays by Various Writers In a civilised community, where the services of the hunter are no longer required, blood sports are simply an anachronism, a relic of savagery which time will gradually remove; and the appeal against them is not to the interested parties whose practices are arraigned - not to the belated Nim rods who find a pleasure in killing - but to that force of public opinion which put down bear baiting, and which will in like manner put down the kindred sports (for all these barbarities are essentially akin) which are defended by similar sophistries.

Excerpt from Memories of the Shires The war has created a gap in the history of time - events will be dated before or after. During the winter of 1914 a huge fissure was started in the affairs of fox-hunting which has gradually grown in width. Old customs, traditions and methods that were considered essential to the sport have been swept into the dustbin. Pessimists with gloomy faces will tell you that hunting is at an end, and that the fox will soon be extinct; but I am firmly convinced that the sport will rise triumphant from the ashes of the past, and with a brighter future will become established on a broader basis. Although many good sportsmen have been killed, there are still plenty left, and many more growing up. This appears to me to be the ideal moment to redeem my long-delayed promise to the publishers and to chat over the past - the five and thirty years preceding the war. I think the love of hunting is inherent with most of us in a greater or less degree, but the degrees have a very wide range, and there are some in whom it is almost imperceptible.

Excerpt from Practical Track and Field Athletics Again, there is the physical benefit that comes from a rational indulgence in outdoor sports. The whole tendency of athletics works for good. The athlete abstains from liquor and tobacco. He does not eat unwholesome food. Exercise, bathing, and rubbing down keep his body clean and healthy. At the same time his mind is filled with healthy, natural outdoor 1deals. He is not growing old too fast in an endeavor to rival the pathetic figure of the London gamin who says, I'm ten years old, but if yer goes by the things I know, I'm most a hundred.'

That it has been no slight labour to supervise all that has been written he must acknowledge; but it has been a labour of love, and very much lightened by the courtesy of the Publisher, by the unflinching, indefatigable assistance of the Sub Editor, and by the intelligent and able arrangement of each subject by the various writers, who are so thoroughly masters of the subjects of which they treat.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Excerpt from Selected Team Sports for Men The two general chapters preceding the team sports discussions are intended to interpret the place of team sports in life and to improve teaching by providing better organization and planning for team sports in the school program. The authors endeavored to write each sport chapter so that self teaching of the sport would be possible for either a teacher in the field or for the layman interested in learning the game himself, or teaching it to another person. Unless specifically stated otherwise, instructions in all chapters are for right-handed (or footed) players.
