In addition, Eton plays The Eton Wall Game a game with elements of both Rugby and Football. The game lasts up to an hour (30 mins per half); many games end 0-0. Scoring goals is very rare; they occur about once every 10 years and the last goal in the St Andrew's Day game was in 1909. However there was a goal scored in a recent scratch match (a less formal warm-up match for the St. Andrew's Day game) in October 2005.
The above quote is from Vikipedia where a full description of the game can be found by following the hyperlink.
Keepers of the College Wall included George Orwell. (See message 222760 in the thread about making tea with milk.)
