Any olid-tioner of sport, to whom laeros;,e i was a game to be revered, w.opid have been surprised a few weeks baek at the very skimpy coverage accorded tate Mann and Minto cup games, except in the regions m- "{ �a mediately conceited, Since these trophies represent, respectively, the senior and junior championships of Canada, the general lack of interest displayed therein by the press of the Dominion, is un- fortunate, the more so, since lacrosse is officially and legally Canatla's national game. Except for hockey, lacrosse is the fastest game played afoot. And a lacrosse field is no place for a weakling, For it is a rugged, he-man's game, with speed, skill and bodily con- tact. Andcit is the oldest of all the games played in America, ante -dating baseball and hockey, So far as records indicate, the first Canadian clubs were organized in the 1830's, but each followed its own rules and the game was not standarized until. 1860-61. The code of regulations then drawn up by Dr, W. George Beers, known as the "Father of Lacrosse", gave the game great impetus and it became the Dominion's national sport by an act of legislation in 1867. For years it flourished mightily.,. Epic battles were fought east and west, famous teams in the east suck as Ottawa Cap, it;lis, Toronto Tecmnsehs, Montreal AAA„ Nationale and Shaun - rocks contributed mighty stars. On the Pacific Coast it held, and stillholds, bolls, great favour. But in the east, interest has waned, as baseball, hockey and football grew in stature., As played by the white rnan, who adopted the game from the Indians, lacrosse was introduced to the United States in the 1880's when John R. Flannery sponsored a meeting of the Montreal Shamrocks and an Indian team at Boston. The game was played on Boston Commons, in the now -roaring heart of the Hub. After that contest many New England groups began experimenting with the Indian game, The U.S. Intercollegiate Association was organized a few years later and it is now the guiding body. Its original members hailed from New England, but today teams as far south as the Carolinas are included. The game is played in scores of United States colleges. International competition has been an important feature of the sport's popularity in other years. An American squad first visited England in 1884, and, prior to World War 1I, American and Canadian clubs met annually for the Joe Lally Trophy, named in honor of the grand old sportsman who lives in Cornwall, once a hot -bed of the game, from whence came such stars as Newsy Lalonde, John White and the DeCrays. The John R. Flannery Memorial Cup was placed in Competition in 1930 when Syracuse, leading United States team of that season, played an Oxford -Cambridge squad. Lacrosse, a great game, is far from dead. But in general public interest, it has declined ,a strange development, for a country in which it is the national game, with its roots extend- ing back into the days when Indian rivals played it with as many as 200 men a side.
