  • American Football
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 American Football American Football popularly known as the Rugby Football or Gridiron originated in United States resembling a union of Rugby and soccer; played in between two teams with each team of eleven players. American football gained fame as the people wanted to detach themselves from the English influence. The father of this sport Walter Camp altered the shape and size of the ball to an oval-shaped ball called ovoid ball and drawn up some unique set of rules. Objective American Football is played on a four sided ground with goalposts at each end. The two opposing teams are named as the Offense and the Defense, The offensive team with control of the ovoid ball, tries to go ahead down the field by running and passing the ball, while the defensive team without control of the ball, targets to stop the offensive team’s advance and tries to take control of the ball for themselves. The main objective of the sport is scoring maximum number of goals by moving forward with the ball into the opposite team's end line for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the challenger's goalposts which is counted as a goal and the team gets points for the goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins.

  • The Path to Legalizing Internet Poker
    FOLLOW THE YELLOW CHIP ROAD: THE PATH TO LEGALIZING INTERNET POKER Josh Chumbley* I. INTRODUCTION Some say it all started with an Academy Award winning actor playing the role of a law student. In the 1998 movie “Rounders,” Matt Damon1 starred in the role of Mike McDermott, a law student who plays in underground poker games in order to earn money and help pay for law school.2 The movie follows the exploits of McDermott as he struggles to balance his life as poker player with his desire to make a conventional life for himself as an attorney.3 Ultimately, thanks to advice given to him by his law school professor,4 McDermott decides that he is a poker player at heart and leaves law school to become a professional poker player.5 “Rounders” had a profound impact on poker in America. 6 Professional poker players Dutch Boyd, Gavin Griffin and Hevad Khan all credit the movie with getting them interested in poker.7 Professional poker player Vanessa Rousso said, “the movie helped define the underground poker scene in New York and showed how judges, cops and ultimately the pros in Vegas were all hooked on a game of skill.”8 Another player who was influenced by “Rounders” is the appropriately named Chris Moneymaker.9 Although there is some debate on how much impact “Rounders” has had on the poker community,10 there * J.D.
