In 1937, the Minto Cup, onee represented the Profesâ€" sional Lacrosse Championship of the World, was taken over by the C.L.A. and placed in competition for the Junior Championship of Canada. Canadians should be proud that their national sport is also the oldest organized sport on the North American Continent. The solid gold Mann Cup, presented by the Canadian Lacrosse Association in 1925, is emblematic of the Senior Lacrosse Championship of Canada. The Mann and Minto Cup matches are played aiternately each year in British Columbia and Ontario. The object of the game like hockey is to put the ball behind the opposing goalkeeper. The net measure is six feet square, and is surrounded by a nine foot circle similar to a goal crease. 239â€"2741 ® 239â€"2742 * 241â€"7503 Rutes minimum 15 words .. .. .. ... 85¢ . The French Canadians gave Lacrosse its name of "le jeu| e la crosse". La meaning "the" and cross meaning “hooked] stick", because it resembled a bishop‘s crozier. | The ball is of soft Indian rubber measufing eight inches in diameter and weighing five ounces. The game is divided into four periods of 15 minutes each, and is presided over by two officials, a referee and a judge of play. . Indians were playing a game called "baggataway" when Cartier arrived and many years before. It was played by whole villages of from 75 to 300, sometimes stretching over mmiles of countryside. It is regarded as an excellent copdiâ€" tioner and "the fastest game on two feet". The "crosse" or stick is made of light hickory wood with the top bent to form a kind of hook. A thong is fastened to this and woven with catâ€"gut or rawhide, to form an ovalâ€"shaped net; Box lacrosse is played indoors in an arena measuring 200 ft. by 60 ft. by six players. Players are provided with little in the way of protective equipment. They take a beating from the stick which is used to catch, hold and throw the ball, as well as to check and impede the shoulders and knees, much as in field hockey. There are two variations of the game. One called box lacrosse, the game played in Canada, and field lacrosse which is played by American high schools and colleges. Received a letter the other day from a curious reader who wanted to know what Canada‘s National Sport was, Hockey or Lacrosse. Without even thinking. I said to myâ€" self "hockey of course!" But after a little research work, I found out that I was wrong. Lacrosse was made the national sport of Canada by an act of Parliament.
