Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford Simak:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"Mr. Meek was having his troubles. First, the educated bugs worried him; then the welfare worker tried to stop the Ring Rats’ feud by enlisting his aid. And now, he was a drafted space-polo player - a fortune bet on his ability at a game he had never played in his cloistered life."
('Mr. Meek Plays Polo' by Clifford Simak)
