'Some things never change.' I was walking through the local park the other day and saw some young men wrestling one another for a ball.
I asked them what they were playing. "Scrag" was the answer, as if I ought to know, which I do. I was introduced to this wonderfully free game 50 years ago.
The game has
no rules, except the preservation of life, limb and property. The players divide into two roughly equal sides, which try to keep a ball in their own possession. The players use four of the five basic sporting skills, namely, wrestling, running, throwing and kicking.
I have not seen a version with swimming in it, yet.
