THE HISTORY OF LACROSSE AT HARVARD. | News
From the founding of the Harvard Lacrosse Association in 1877 until very recently the prospects of lacrosse at Harvard have been somewhat dubious. In fact, it is probable that the association would have collapsed before now but for the enthusiasm of a few individuals and for the sympathy and encouragement of the National Amateur Lacrosse Association. It is certain had the lacrosse men depended entirely for aid on the college at large the record of the lacrosse team would not present the almost uninterrupted series of victories that it does. But still, that external sympathy could not take the place of home support was shown by the fact that for about two years lacrosse hung between life and death. Indeed it was deemed of so little consequence, and the attempt to introduce it was thought to be so hopeless, that there is no mention made of the game in the college papers until May 9, 1879, when the Advocate editorially speaks the first welcome word for lacrosse in the following words. : “The members of the lacrosse team deserve the thanks of the college for having established the game at Harvard.” It further ventures to predict that it will “take its place with foot-ball and base-ball as a game requiring skill and practice.”
It is not very strange, however, that the college papers paid so little heed to a game which was unknown to most of the students. Even the records of the Lacrosse Association were very few previous to 1879, and these have been destroyed, as if the despairing supporters of the game felt that they had attempted too much in trying to introduce a new sport into a college where boating was at its height, where base-ball was all the rage, and where tennis and rifle clubs were rising into prominence. Lacrosse, though of slow, has still been of sure growth. We may imagine the first few forlorn players creeping out to some retired part of Holmes field to practise their strange sport. In the fall of 1879, however, the prospects of the game brightened. In that year the following set of officers were elected to the association: Wright, ’81, president; Manning, ’82, vice-president; C. F. Squibb, ’81, secretary; Bradley, ’82, treasurer; Robert Sturgis, ’81, captain of team. Of these the two best players and most enthusiastic workers were Squibb and Sturgis.
Two games were played with the Unions of Boston on October 18 and 31, respectively; in the second of which Harvard was beaten by a score of three goals to nothing. This we believe to be her last defeat. There is no record of Harvard ever having been defeated by another college lacrosse team. At this time an attempt was made to form a second team, but there is no evidence that the idea was carried into practice. About this time a wise move was the payment of $25 toward the cost of the net in the gymnasium, whereby the lacrosse team secured the right, next after the ball nine, to use the cage.
In June, 1880, the meeting of the National Amateur Lacrosse Association at the Astor House, New York, gave a renewed impulse to the game. Harvard did not send a delegate, but was represented by Mr. Flannery of New York.
The season of 1880-1 started out well by a meeting held October 4, when C. F. Squibb was elected to succeed Sturgis as captain.
On May 14, 1881, a very important game was played between Columbia and Harvard on the Polo Grounds, New York. This game is notable for being, as is claimed, the first game of lacrosse ever played between college teams in New York, and more interesting as being the first appearance of the ill-fated Columbia team. The New York Telegram says: “The game was well contested, but the Harvards were too much for the Columbia boys.” The New York World calls it “a series of well contested games, in which Harvard teaches Columbia a lesson.” The score was 4 goals to 0. The Harvard team was composed of: Squibb, ’81; Munro, ’81; Paine, ’81; Davis, ’83; R. Sturgis, ’81; O. M. W. Huntington, ’81; A. Thorndike, Jr., ’81; W. B. Noble, ’84; R. B. Ennis, ’83; R. Coit, ’83; E. K. Butler, ’83: R. M. Bradley, ’82.
In the fall meeting of 1881 Machado, ’83, was elected captain, and it was decided to play for the college championship. For this purpose the team went to New York, where a series of games was played on the Polo Grounds with the following result:
Harvard, 4 Univ. of N. Y. 0
Princeton, 5 Columbia, 0
Harvard, 3 Princeton, 0
Seven of the players on this victorious team were ’83 men.
In reference to these games a Boston paper says: “In spite of the comparatively little interest taken in lacrosse in the college, and in spite even of some opposition to the support of a lacrosse team, such a team has been kept up to win.” The “opposition” thus mentioned was such as an article in the Advocate of October 21, 1881, shows: The writer, after discussing the rights of the lacrosse team to use the land granted it by President Eliot, and stating that the “game was of very little importance to the university,” goes on to say that since it interfered with tennis, “it has been almost an unmitigated nuisance. ” This is the first clear indication of the growing power of lacrosse, since the Advocate thought it worth while to attack it. But lacrosse now began to boom. On Feb. 23, 1882, it was voted to “invite the lacrosse associations of Princeton, New York University and Columbia to meet in New York city,” but this meeting was delayed until today, when the delegates are expected to meet in Cambridge, and the result, it may be hoped, will make this a “red letter day” in the history of the game.
On April 29, 1882, a tie game was played in Cambridge between the New York University team and Harvard on Holmes field. A game with Columbia was to have been played on May 6th, but was necessarily postponed. The closing game of the season of 1881-2 was played at Princeton, N. J., which was won by Harvard-score, 3 to 1. Besides the regular team, a second team was organized, and three games were played, two of them with Andover, in which Harvard won. Thus, with the end of 1882, lacrosse prospects were brighter than ever before. This year opened with a meeting Oct. 5, 1882. Noble, ’84, was elected captain; Machado, ’83, president; Williams, ’85, vice-president; Hobbs, ’85, treasurer; secretary and manager, Reuter, ’84. So far the work done has been in gaining the championship of the United States and the Oelrich cup, by winning in the contest held in New York last October.
In the last meeting, January 12 of this year, Messrs. Machado, Noble, Coit, Williams and Rueter were appointed a committee to draw up a constitution and resolutions to be presented at the convention.
In looking over the prospects for the future it seems that the only way for lacrosse to gain a firm and permanent footing is for the freshman class to take it up, so that the ‘Varsity team can have recruits from the freshman team, just as the ‘Varsity crew received material from class crews. Two attempts have been made to form second lacrosse teams, but have amounted to little because such teams could be at best but quasi organizations.
If it be true that no institution is permanent until it appears in literature, then lacrosse bids fair to become a fixture, for more has been published in the college papers on the subject within the last year than in all the previous four years.

Facts About the Origin and History of Lacrosse
What do you know about lacrosse? Read on to discover some fun facts about the history of this ancient sport, and why it is still so popular today.
Founding FathersThe truth is that the inventor of lacrosse is a mystery, though it is known that Native Americans were the first to play this sport. Two tribes played against one another in 1763 as a means to distract British soldiers while attempting to recapture Fort Michilimackinac.
The basic rules however, were not established until 1794. Historic records show that this is when a tribe of the Seneca played against the tribe of the Mohawk. The rules we know today were established later on.
It was exclusively a man’s sport until 1890, when the first female lacrosse game took place in Scotland. Surprisingly, it was a nun who took interest in the sport and decided to use it to help educate her students at the St. Leonards convent school.
Lacrosse wasn’t all fun and games. The original intention of the game was to help Native Americans prepare for war. The different skills involved in playing helped prepare them both physically and mentally. This is because the original game was far more violent than the game you see today!
The teams were also very large, ranging from 100-1000 players at a given time. Entire tribes would play! Just imagine how chaotic these games would get. In fact, it wasn’t unusual for people to die while playing this version of lacrosse.
You can thank the French for changing this, as they were the ones responsible for turning the game around. They changed the rules during the 1800s as they thought it was too brutal and worked with the Native Americans to find a happy medium.
Lacrosse is now known as the fastest growing sport in America. This much is obvious when you consider that the number of both male and female players have doubled within the past 12 years alone. The number of male players has increased by 110%, while female players have increased by 100%. This is no small feat!
Even better, the sport now requires protective equipment and is amazingly considered one of the safer sports to play.
Brussels Lacrosse
Lacrosse is first and foremost a North American ritual, invented by the Native Americans as a sacred and religious ritual. Originally not only created as a sport, but also to thank and praise the gods. It’s been thought that lacrosse originated in the 11
The French Jesuit missionaries are the first Europeans to discover the game in the 17
Over the course of time, the interest of the game starts to grow amongst the other Americans. Which results in universal rules of the game in the 19th century. The sport also starts to grow amongst rich youngster, and especially at American and Canadian colleges. At the beginning of the 20th century, (men’s) lacrosse makes it first appearance on the Olympic games.
#growthegameOver the last 30 years, lacrosse has become one of the most popular sports to play at colleges in the U.S.A. and Canada. The first professional lacrosse leagues started in the 1980s, with the National Lacrosse League, the Major Lacrosse League and later also introducing the United Women’s Lacrosse League.
Lacrosse is often described as the fastest sport on two feet, and is also the fastest growing sport in Europe. In Belgium, the first lacrosse clubs are founded in 2010. We have 10 clubs at the moment in Belgium. First objective in Belgium is to grow the game, with the focus mainly on youth lacrosse – the future of the sport.
The Federation International Lacrosse (FIL) and the International Olympic Committee are working together towards putting lacrosse on the Olympic official program again.
Native sport, Native life • The Seminole Tribune
Justin Giles wearing a Tulsa Lacrosse jersey while playing the “attack” position. (Courtesy photo)Memorial Day weekend is a hallowed holiday in which we remember and honor our military personnel who died or were wounded in battle.
Surely we also remember and honor the warriors who fought against the U.S. and European nations to maintain our culture and life ways today. Native American history is United States history full of warrior struggles, defeats, and victories. So it seems befitting that another hallowed warrior tradition, rooted in centuries of Native American culture, takes place this month as well. On Memorial Day weekend, the NCAA Lacrosse Finals will be played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, home of the New England Patriots. The NCAA Lacrosse Finals are always fun to watch and we have our Native American culture to thank for providing this sporting spectacle.
While many people today are familiar with the contemporary game of lacrosse, which looks like hockey on turf, many people don’t know the roots of the game begin with tribal nations from multiple regions of North America. The modern one stick version of lacrosse played during the NCAA Lacrosse Finals is modeled after the Iroquois or the Haudenosaunee, the People of the Long House. A two stick version of lacrosse stems from the southeastern tribes of the Seminole, Muscogee (Creek), Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw. Lastly, there is another one stick version of lacrosse found among the Great Lakes tribes such as the Menominee, Ojibwe, and Sac and Fox. With all these Natives playing a similar form of lacrosse, one might ask, who invented the game?
The modern game of lacrosse has a vast and rich history reaching back centuries. In fact, many oral histories from differing tribal nations say the first game was played in the heavens and the first game on earth was played by the animals.
Stickball and lacrosse were often used as a means to settle disputes between neighboring towns, clans and tribes. The winner of “Little Brother of War” decided how the dispute would be resolved and
“Stickmaker” by Brian Larney Yahvlane (Seminole Nation/Choctaw). (Courtesy photo)had bragging rights to boot. Lacrosse was also played just for fun and recreation. To this day, the southeastern version of stickball includes a social game played between men and women which is more about community fellowship than an intensive ceremonial “Little Brother of War” game. The commonality of the varying versions of stickball and lacrosse provide further evidence that our ancestors traveled far and wide sharing culture and spreading the game. After all, we love to visit while sharing stories, songs and food.

Interesting facts from the Olympic history of cross-country skiing, where the first medals will be played on Saturday – in the women’s skiathlon.
The first Olympic medals in cross-country skiing were awarded 90 years ago at the 1924 Games in Chamonix. The first women’s race – 10 km – was held in 1952 in Oslo.
It took the 1928 Olympic champion in St. Moritz almost 5 hours to complete the 50-kilometer marathon distance.The champion of the 2010 Games in Vancouver, the Norwegian Petter Nortug, covered this distance in 2 hours 5 minutes 34 seconds.
The most decorated skier in the history of the Olympics, the Norwegian Bjorn Daly won three awards at three Games in a row – 1992, 1994 and 1998. In total, he won a record 12 medals for the Winter Games, and started 15 times. Daly’s eight awards are gold, four are silver.
Daly and the Swede Sixten Ernberg have won the most prestigious 50 km cross-country ski race twice, but failed to do so at two Games in a row.For the first time in history, the Norwegian Petter Nortug has a chance to win two Olympic marathon races in Sochi.
The largest number of gold medals in skiing Olympic races were won by domestic athletes – 41. 35 highest standard awards from the Norwegians.
Having won the 30 km freestyle race at the 1998 Games in Nagano, 21-year-old Russian Yulia Chepalova became the youngest skier ever to be an Olympic champion. The oldest is Estonian Anders Veerpalu, who won the 15 km “classic” goal in 2006 in Turin.
Skiers from Germany, one of the most titled biathlon powers, perform unsuccessfully at the Olympics – only two gold medals. Three gold medals were won by skiers from the GDR.
In 2002, the ski sprint entered the Olympic program, four years later – the team sprint. Russian sprinters performed well at the 2010 Games, when Nikita Kryukov became the first in the personal sprint, ahead of Alexander Panzhinsky, and the men’s and women’s teams became bronze medalists.

90,000 “We have a defender like Messi, only he is even smaller.” The Russian national team summed up the results of the Karjala CupThe head of the national team’s headquarters, Roman Rotenberg, gave an interview to the Match TV observer.
The head of the national team’s headquarters, Roman Rotenberg, gave an interview to the Match TV observer.
“Voronkov, Galimov, Yelesin – candidates for the Olympics”
– Good ending of the Karjala Cup – a confident victory over the Czechs (5: 2).
– Because a lot of work has been done. And the guys are great. We saw what the coaching staff told them from the very beginning. How we progressed during the tournament, how many players tested it. This was the task. Many even in KHL clubs get little playing time.
But we let the guys from 2002-2004 play to their maximum. The same CSKA defender Vladimir Grudinin also broke the record of Alexander Ovechkin, playing for the Russian national team at the age of 17. And after all, he performed remarkably! Although you look at him without a form: he is like Leo Messi, only a little smaller.At the same time, he plays great, his skating is excellent. These Czechs from him, as in the cartoon “Puck-puck!”, Flew to the podium.
Of course we wanted to win all the matches. There were chances to beat both the Finns and the Swedes. But our hockey players had to play more. We wanted to get food for thought for the Channel One Cup, the World Youth Championship, the Olympics, and the Senior World Championship. And we got a lot of information.
Open video– Wasn’t it worth bringing the age team to Helsinki, as did the Finns, Swedes, Czechs? Let Shipachev, Kuzmenko and others prove that they should be taken to the Olympics.
– You do not compare with the leagues of Finland, Sweden, Czech Republic. We have a lot more matches in the KHL. We played 26-29 games in two months. And look at the movement of our team in the first meeting. Those players who are leaders in the KHL clubs looked a little tired. But the same Voronkov, Galimov – they are tops. And candidates for any national team of the country. So it cannot be said that we only looked at the young. But at the same time, young people won the competition from some adult guys. Is it bad? And this is a huge plus for the youth world championship.The same Grudinin – was he really bad? He’s done well!
– Have you seen interesting candidates for the Olympics in this team?
– Of course they are! Voronkov, Galimov, Yelesin – this is the minimum. This team has only one right-handed defender. This is also a question – where are they with us? But they are very valuable when playing the majority, like right-handed attackers. We had Vovchenko and Tertyshny. But there should be as many such players as possible.
“We in the national team are checking the lessons of the student Michkov”
– How do you see Michkov’s further development? Maybe he should play more for SKA?
– There is no need to force events.Therefore, we give Michkov the maximum opportunity to play in the KHL. At the same time, we understand that he cannot receive 20 minutes at SKA. But Michkov must develop, play as much as possible.
We make all decisions together – both with Matvey and with his parents. Because he’s a minor. He is still a schoolboy, doing his homework after the match. We in his team check whether he has done his homework. This is a very important issue, and we must control this.
Open video– Michkov is a unique hockey player.But events cannot be forced. We must prepare it calmly, smoothly, carefully moving from team to team, from team to team. There were examples when a talented player was overwhelmed, and this hindered his development. Michkov does not need to be tugged. Let him play for a month in the youth team, a month in the tower, then in the KHL. Don’t emasculate the guy. And he played so well in Helsinki because we did a good preparatory work. We brought him to his peak here. And this came as a surprise to many coaches.When they see a 16-year-old boy, they say: “We can’t play him!” The same reaction was according to Grudinin. But Matvey won the competition honestly. He played with the Finns only four minutes. And then his time increased, and the guy started scoring goals.
“Everything that is said about Kuznetsov is still rumors”
– Is it true that the issue of Evgeny Kuznetsov has been resolved and he will be allowed to play at the Olympics?
– FHR lawyers are working on this issue. Need to get official information from CAS, IOC, ROC, IIHF and WADA.And we have no official conclusions. The question should be addressed to our lawyers. They will contact their colleagues from the named organizations. And must pass the CAS Court of Arbitration for Sport, which will issue a verdict. And when it comes, we will be able to say for sure that these are not rumors or gossip, but facts.
– Is it just a rumor now?
– We have no official information yet.
Evgeny Kuznetsov / Photo: © Dmitry Chelyapin / Match TV
– Is it possible that Andrei Razin will join the national team in the future?
– We talked a lot during the tournament.Razin helped us a lot to improve the components of the game. And the victory over the Czechs is the merit of the entire staff. The guys accomplished a feat today, and everyone took part in this, including Andrei Razin.
– How is Oleg Znarka’s health?
– According to the latest information – it is getting better. Of course, there is a chance that he will go to the World Youth Championship. We are 100 percent counting on this. His experience is essential for the team to win.
Oleg Znarok / Photo: © RIA Novosti / Alexey Kudenko– Is it true that Canadians will come to the Channel One Cup?
– 100 percent that they will be there.This is official information. We have a letter from the Ice Hockey Federation of Canada. They will play in Moscow in December. Five teams will take part in the tournament.
– Why the Canadians? After all, NHL players go to the Olympics.
– They already participated in 2017, before the PyeongChang Games. And the rating of that match Russia – Canada became the highest in the history of the Channel One Cup. It’s like the classic “Real” – “Barcelona”.
