Eton College’s racquets team came to Philadelphia last week on a tour of the East Coast. I had the pleasure to getting beaten up by not one but two Etonians on the racquets court. This was followed by a long dinner in town with them, which included hearing about an upcoming game amongst alums in New York City of the Eton Field Game.
I know: racquets is pretty obscure, but surely the Field Game is even more unknown, played solely at one British prep school. Makes racquets positively a mass game.
