Football Is Played With A Ball That Is Approximately Oval

Football is played with a ball that is approximately oval. The football field is 120 yards long and 160 feet wide. The first ten yards at each end of the field are called and zones. Each contains two goal posts connected by a horizontal bar ten feet off the ground. The object of the game is either to carry the ball into the other team’s end zone without being knocked to the ground or to kick the ball between the other team’s goal posts. Football is a rugged sport involving much physical contact between players. But there are rules prohibiting certain connect likely to lead to injuries, and a team is penalized if a player breaks any of the rules. Also, to prevent injures, players wear protective clothing. Nevertheless, football players do get hurt, but far less often than one wouldn’t pose from watching the game. Taken from the USA, Customs and Institutions By Ethel and Martin Tiersky (Adapted) A major reason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animal establishes an area; the size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his mate (or mates) and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, divide up the best, territory in the order of “first come, first served.” The late arrivals may obtain larger territories, but less food is available, or they are too close to the habitats of the enemies of the species. If there in really insufficient food or the danger is very great the animal will not mate. In this way, the members of the species which are less fit will not have offspring. When there is conflict over territory, animals will commonly use force, or a show of force, to decide which will stay and which will go. Taken from Contemporary English By R. Rossner, p. Shaw, J.

This prospect of the “millennium” brought relief to many a weary person. Many journeyed to Palestine to be present in their Holy Land when the end of the world came. But the end of the world did not come, and the thousands of pilgrims who had journeyed to Jerusalem were ill-treated by the Turks. They returned to Europe full of anger and humiliation, and spread the story of their offerings in the Holy Land. One famous pilgrim especially, Peter the Hermit, went about, staff in hand, preaching to the people to rescue their Holy City Jerusalem from the Muslims. Indignation and enthusiasm grew in Christendom, and seeing this the Pope decided to lead the movement. In 1095, a great Church council decided to proclaim a Holy way against the Muslins for the recovery of the Holy City of Jerusalem.
