Snooker, bumble puppy, and other national forms of sport
New Zealand graphic, Volume IX, Issue 19, 7 May 1892, P. 468
Oxford and Cambridge now meet at rowing, cricket, football, golf, chess, rackets, billiards, tennis, athletic sports, and a few other trifles. We hope confidently that Inter ’Varsity contests will be added at whist, nap 100, baccarat, coddam, shove-halfpenny, glove fighting (with an ‘out’), snooker, bumble puppy, and other national forms of sport. We see no reason why they shouldn’t, and a good Inter-’Varsity glove-fight would be good business.
