To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870 At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play Goals became a cage of 10x feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888 The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water "American style" water polo became very

broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or
