Thanks, Dr. Bill, although these bring up more thoughts. I was pleased to see that Gurunet says scrummage (man, that sounds SO odd! [poking the borax e]) is an Alteration of SCRIMMAGE. I don't think we ever say scrim. But at least I now know that ruckmen follow the ball, though I am no closer to knowing the origin of the word.
