Mr. Broderick : #aF. BDEGOGELICR . I read your column on lacrosse in a recent issue of tho‘ Advertiserâ€"Guardian. I got the impression that you are not familiar with the game so I‘m passing along some intorma-‘ tion, also a rule book and a 1957 Long Branch Year Book. The game as it is now played originated in Australia where it was played in what they called a "box", much the same as our outdoor hockey rink, hence the name "box lacrosse". Previous to this change in 1932 the game was played on a large field with approximately 90 yards between goals, which were six feet square. Goals are a four foot square in the box game. ue WOOIOOLECE AVA anatar CHC UVR BCUCOC A field team consisted of the goalkeeper, point and cover point (read defencemen), first, second and third defence, centre, first, second and third home, inside home and outâ€" side home. In some cases only ten men were used. There were no multiple player changes. Bench warmers were called substitutes and seldom saw action unless someone was hurt. ) PET 1 o. Ee WBs IGIEC Some of the outstanding players of that era were Eddie . Powers, father of the NH.L. referée), Newsy Lalonde (of Hockey fame), councillior Pete Johnson of Mimico, Charlesl Rowan (O.L.A. Treasurer), and Ted Reeve. | The sticks were much larger than those used toâ€"day, par-l ticularly defence sticks and the net was drawn much tighter than in toâ€"day‘s sticks. At the present time Chisholm‘s oflt Cornwall export thousands of sticks yearly. Box lacrosse is played indoors and outdoors in this area.| Players are provided with expensive protective equipment, the same as in hockey. Cuts, bruises, and mild sprains are suffered, but there are few seriously injured as in other bodyâ€"contact sports. Bones are seldom broken in lacrosse. The ball is not soft India rubber; it is very hard. I disagree with people who say that lacrosse declined because of rough play. Other factors contributed. It never ~regained former popularity after World War I as the lack ~of an organized training plan for young boys caused a serious player shortage. The increasing popularity of the automobile was a factor in the twenties, also the depression. Lacrosse in Ontario has no wealthy sponsors as in hockey or football. We do have a good minor training system for boys and several thousand youngsters are now learning the game. We ‘believe that in five years‘ time many of these young apprentices will graduate to junior, intermediate and The one big obstacle that we have to overcome is in eliminating the gap between bantam and junior. Promoting midget and juvenile teams is expensive and hazardous, due to the fact that they have no gate revenue to offset the long distance to towns such as Hastings, Huntsville, Fergus, and St. Catherines. Increasing numbers of boys play from tyke and novice to bantam in the above mentioned towns, 'i'..h; _Rinkv Owners‘ Association hope that the future maturity of minor lacrosse plans will bring enthusiastic lacrosse fans to arenas that are empty during summer :s“;vellu Brampton, Rexdale, Toronto township, Alderâ€" wood, Long Branch, Mimico, Qtt;wa, etc. Track Races | (Continued) i JUNIOR | There is nothing wrong with lacrosse toâ€"day that money, enthusiatic sponsors and workers can‘t cure.
