To score points, which are known as counts, you need to bounce the cue ball off the other two balls. Then there is a third one which is the oldest, a fourth one distinguished for scholarship, a fifth for athletic records, a sixth because it has the finest chapel, a seventh for I know not what, and as there are at least fifteen of them, I have mixed them all up; I see only the castellated palaces in Perpendicular style, the huge quadrangles, where the pupils move about in black gowns and square tasselled caps, each of whom has his two or three rooms in the wings of these castles; I see the Gothic chapels disembowelled by Protestantism, the banquet-halls with a dais for the "masters" and "fellows," the venerable smoked portraits of earls, statesmen and poets, who went forth from there; I see the renowned "backs," i.e. the rear of the colleges above the river Cam, over which there are bridges leading to the ancient college parks; I float on the gentle river between the "backs" and the parks, and I think of our students, of their hollow bellies and their boots down-at-heel with trudging from lecture to lecture.

All I want of you is-any other man would speak to his wife, and not lie there like a log-all I want is this.

If you only strike one object ball, you get zero points and hand over the cue stick to the next player. A stained glass window in England's Gloucester Cathedral, dating from the mid-fourteenth century, shows a figure wielding a stick in the middle of a distinctly golf-like backswing or high-powered croquet shot. Each of these sports focuses on the idea of hitting small balls with the end of a narrow stick called a cue with the object being to accrue more points than the opponent.

The game of snooker is primarily British and is played to a small degree in the Americas. Racks are often called triangles and are an iconic piece of equipment that’s used for placing billiards balls in their starting positions before the pocket billiards game begins; however, the world rack can also be used as a verb to describe the act of positioning the billiards balls in said formation. The pockets are wider and more forgiving compared to snooker tables. However, the pockets of the snooker table, though, are smaller.
