In this article Carnival seems to be a day for boys to bring their roosters to fight each other. Previously, we read this was a celebration before Lent, " a rejoicing period of time" (Milliman, 597). Lent from my understanding is where you give something up in order to develop or strengthen your relationship to God. This seems to be an interesting game especially since this would be a game to relax the students before a time of ceremonial divinity. This game also fits in with ceremonial combat mention by Milliman (591). I wonder why it was deemed morally acceptable to have animals fight but not have tournaments. This seems like it would feed a love of violence. However, this book does not mention details of how far the cock-fight would go, so maybe not. There seems to be a respect for knowing how to fight as a discipline and actually fighting as a sport.
