It deserves to be called "the Canadian game" because its roots are deep in our history, says the federal health department publication "Lacrosse"‘. As a conditioner, lacrosse is unsurpassed, and some athletic directors feel that this advantage alone justifies its inclusion in their sports curriculum. Because of the very fact that a stick is employed, the game develops self control. For many years, before and after the turn of the century, lacrosse was a major sport in this country, and the names of lacrosse "greats‘‘ were on every boy‘s tongue. It was played by both English and French speaking Canadians, and by the Indians who invented it, so it was truly a national game. _ Professional _ and amateur leagues flourished, and the game spread to England, Australia and the United States. Boys, who can _ be introduced to the game as early as 8 or 9, enjoy it tremendously. _ There _ is something about the stickâ€"work and teamwork, catching and throwing the ball, eluding your opponent and shooting on goal that appeals to the best athletic spirit of boys and young men. Lacrosse has much in its favour. It has been called "the fastest game on two feet""â€"it is a game of skill, not brute force (contrary to general belief) and the little fellow can beat his larger opponent by superior ability â€" it can be played from early spring in all kinds of weather â€" equipment is not expensive â€" it is an exciting game to watch. The playing area can be an open field, a hockey box or arena, or even a large gymnasium. Then, as the twentieth century advanced, its popularity declined. Now, it is making a comeback, and if this booklet can help widen interest in this fine sport, it will have accomplished its purpose. It is hoped that more schools will consider lacrosse as an interâ€"class or interâ€"school sport. It ;can add variety to the school sports program and get Lacrosse team being formed North YÂ¥ ork Safety Council and the Youth Council will be holding the finals on May 24 of the Bicycle Rallies, held in the Public Schools in the borough during the month of May.
