Hold Their Breath Underwater Hockey Water
462 words
Underwater hockey was created in the mid-twentieth
century, by those that found ice, street and field
hockey all to unexciting. It seemed that the only
things left unchallenged in hockey were air and
water. Thus, this game removed the first, and
added the latter. Underwater hockey is held at the
bottom of a swimming pool 2 - 4 meters deep. The 6
players in the water must hold their breath while
playing, but there are 4 substitutes that may be
used freely. Players wear masks, fins, snorkels,

Scotland Pride Or Shame
976 words
Gazing round the streets of Glasgow at around one
in the morning, I fill with shame. Police sirens
scream in exasperation and drunken fights cloud my
eyes. The smell of alcohol and stale cigarette
smoke advances towards me, making the food in my
stomach churn. This is hardly a sight to be proud
of I think, as I begin to realise just how ashamed
I am of being Scottish. Although some people may
argue over Scotland's good points. For example
some of the scenery we hold is beautiful and that
we have...

Part Of The Game Deviant Behavior
950 words
Nature always has a way of balancing itself out,
and in my opinion, deviant behavior is no
exception. For every report we read about how
playing in a sports program has kept someone off
the streets and out of a life of crime, we come
across another about excessive violence or drug
use by an athlete. Sports definitely discourage
off the field problems, but they also bring about
a whole new set of on the field problems. Playing
sports brings out the competitive sides of many
athletes. To most athl...
