Author's Summary— Many teachers and most students are sports‐minded; the list offered below has proved interesting in the classroom. Some of the Spanish used is “castizo”; much of it is in the nature of recently‐coined words and idioms to suit the needs of this game which is spreading among our neighbors to the south. Interesting comparisons may be made with the article of Professor Alexander D. Gibson, “The Vocabulary of Sports in French,” in the February 1939 issue.
