  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Eton Field Game
The Field Game is one of Eton College's two brands of football, the other being the famous Eton Wall Game.
The game is like soccer in some ways — the ball is round, but one size smaller than a standard football, and you are not allowed to pick it up — but the off-side rules - known as 'sneaking' - are more in keeping with rugby.
It is the only game at Eton that virtually every boy plays, at least for his first three years in the school, and it occupies prime position in the games programme throughout the Lent Half.

 Eton Field Game@Everything2.com
The Eton Field Game is a bit of football mixed with a bit of rugby, and yet is somehow like neither.
The game is the main sport played in Lent half (the term that runs from January onwards), and, as no-one else in the world whatsoever plays the game, is mostly restricted to inter-house leagues and cups, with a champion of champions cup awarded to the house that performs the best in all competitions overall.
It mixes the aggression and brawn (and, it has to be said, cunning) of the forwards' play with the sometimes tremendous skill shown by the behinds in kicking the ball about (not to mention their tremendous cowardice), trying to place it so their forwards can get to it before the opposition behind can clear it.

The Field Game is one of two codes of football devised and played at Eton College.
The game is like soccer in some ways — the ball is round, but one size smaller than a standard football, and may not be handled — but the off-side rules — known as 'sneaking' — are more in keeping with rugby.
There are two main ways of gaining points in the Field Game, either a 'rouge' or a Goal.

 Field Game   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Field Game is one of Eton’s two brands of football, the other being the famous Wall Game.
The Field Game is organized primarily as a House activity, and one of its strengths is that boys of all skill levels can make a valuable contribution to the fortunes of their House.
The majority of boys are able to play the Field Game for their House twice a week or more, in friendly (sometimes not so friendly) practices or in competitions.

 Eton Orwell & Harry
He makes the valid point that Orwell didn't particularly specifiy Eton when he wrote criticism of England's public schools in his classic essay THE LION AND THE UNICORN and actually gave it credit for allowing him to be himself.
Orwell much preferred Eton to his prep school, St. Cyprian's, which was the object of his exaggerated essay SUCH, SUCH WERE THE JOYS.
And he certainly preferred Eton to Wellington, the school he first went to after coming in 14th on the Eton scholarship exams when only 13 made it in that year.

 Eton Field Game
Eton Field Game is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
This is because, in effect, the game consists of the two sets of players forming a rugby-style scrummage (called a "Bully") in which neither team may move the ball backwards (except in Calx, where a different type of Bully occurs).
Eton College was founded in 1440 by Henry VI as a charity school to provide free education to seventy poor students who would then go on to King's College, Cambridge, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, which he also founded in 1441.

The game is like soccer in some ways — the ball is round and you are not allowed to pick it up — but the off-side rules are more in keeping with rugby and there is also a small scrum or "bully".
You score goals much as in soccer (although there is no goal-keeper), and you can also score "rouges" (which are something like tries) and attempt to convert them.
