In the shot put a heavy metal sphere is pro¬pelled from a circle seven feet in diameter; four feet of its circumference—in the forepart of the circle—contains a toeboard four inches high. In this event the shot is not allowed to pass behind or below the shoulder, so that technically it is "put" rather than "thrown." A 16-pound shot is used in major masculine competition, such as in the Olympic games sometime Games, national championships, and intercollegiate competition; the 12-pound shot is usually used by males in secondary schools, and the 8-pound shot is used in feminine competition, including the Olympic games sometime Games. In the games the shot put is also one of the 10 decathlon events for men.

On The Other Hand See Ball Games:WATER POLO, an aquatic team game played by swimmers in indoor and outdoor pools with an in¬flated ball. As in other goal games, such as soccer and lacrosse, the objective is to place the ball through the opponents' goal, thereby scoring one point. Usually this is accomplished not by indi¬vidual effort but by relaying the ball to teammates. The game saw its start in England in the 1870's and has grown in popularity during the 20th century. Two types evolved: one, especially popular in the United States, was a "softball' variety (the ball not fully inflated) and was ex¬tremely rough—a player was often tackled and held underwater until he released the ball; in Eu¬rope, however, a "hardball" variety was adopted, and the sport was first played in the Olympic games in 1900. Because of Olympic games pres¬tige, this hardball game may now be considered the "official" international game, although the softball type continued to enjoy some popularity in the United States until the end of the 1930's.
