There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however,
that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic
version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a
"pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game
and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming
exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor

swimming pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool
with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball
inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as
close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the
nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish
rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet
and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the
ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a
leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the

goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang
fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that
usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in
the USA in 1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American
football in the water. "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's
was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting
14,000 spectators to national championship games.

III. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however,
that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic
version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a
"pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game
and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming
exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor
swimming pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool
with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball
inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as
close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the
nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish
rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet
and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the
ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a
leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the
goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang
fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that
usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in
the USA in 1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American
football in the water. "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's
was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting
14,000 spectators to national championship games.
31. According to the text, _______.
