...unfortunate development was noted. Little by little, the students were beginning to neglect their books and gather on the cliff-tops to watch the progress of the sport. In fact the playing of the game was left to a chosen few, while all the others gathered round to watch. Interest in the contests became intense; teams of Roloists were formed, and the students divided in heated rivalry. It is even recorded that Rolo experts from distant lands came to compete with the Incamen, and that the whole nation became fevered with enthusiasm for the game...

...unfulfilled. That function is to offer to students who have but little time to spare from their studies an opportunity to get a certain necessary amount of regular exercise; and the reason they fail to do this is that the usual system of signing up for courts has been neglected. There is no patent reason for such neglect; and there is a patent reason why the sign-up system should be put in force...
