FIVES

in great britain the forms most usually met with are known as eton fives and rugby fives. there are also winchester fives and other less-known varieties. a few rules of an older form of the game as played about 1825 still existed in 1925. both the main games are played chiefly at the great public schools, but there are also a number of courts in various parts of the country, and the game is played in the north of england by working men. in 1924 a fives assn. was formed and two open competitions, one at eton fives and one at rugby fives, were instituted.
