they play in the states resembles what they play here from all accounts weve read and pictures weve seen we would say the canadian and u s games arc identical with this difference the americans wear headgear and the leagues are confined to colleges no semiprofessional or amateur circuits are in evidence however the brand of lacrosse they play in ivy circuits is considered pretty good by canadian standards wallaceburg and samia the two new entrants in the southern section of the ola played considerable boxla in the old canadian american league which contained four tqams from the states the canadians ex perienced real difficulty in latching on to a title although its possible the american squads had their full complement of canadian players lacrosse is played in england and in different countries of europe we know but it is probably the old game of field lacrosse that is popu lar playing in a boxed arena or an open air box for that matter is canadian innovation real dif ficulty was experienced in getting the public to accept this new brand of the game but the trend in recent years seems to indicate a revival and renewed interest balton county which two years ago hadnt a lacrosse
