Extractions: Freshman Girls Physical Education Classes Mrs. Hodges Hundreds of years ago, around 1046, England was conquered by Denmark and occupied by the Danish. The English finally forced them out after many bloody battles. A few years later, an English boy was walking through an old battleground. He uncovered a Danish skull left over from England's war with Denmark and started kicking it around. A couple other boys joined him. But some of them hurt their feet on the skull, so they decided to use an inflated cow bladder. Other sources show that it led to soccer and rugby. In 1146, grown men were playing football. Sometimes there were more than one hundred players on the same team. Instead of helmets players grew their hair longer to protect their skulls from severe injuries. Rugby, starting as a part of football, was developed by William Webb Ellias in 1823 in college. Players were ordered not to play in town but in vacant fields because the sport was so violent. They established some rules and they agreed that both teams should have the same number of players, though usually the teams still had more than fifty players on a team.

Some manuscripts from the and centuries show diagrams of early forms of cricket. The Royal Wardrobe accounts for report that £6 was paid out for the 15-year old Prince Edward to play creag and other games, though there is no evidence that this creag was a form of cricket. Certainly little was heard of the game for the next 300 years. Nor is there any record of any commercial interest in the game from innkeepers or other entrepreneurs. Cricket, if it was played at all, was not of sufficient popularity or disruptive enough to be subject to a specific prohibition, although some club and ball games were banned in England. For example, a statute of King Edward IV Hands in and hands out illegal because it interfered with the compulsory practice of archery In there was a dispute over a school's ownership of a plot of land in which a 59-year old coroner, John Derrick, testified that he and his school friend had played "creckett" at the site fifty years earlier.

Gold Medal Lessons For Life A couple of years back, Wichita State University bowling coach Gordon Standing on the olympic podium, having a Gold Medal placed around one s neck, http://www.jewishsports.com/reflections/struggold.htm
Extractions: by Rabbi Mitchell Smith August, 2000 (Reprinted from Rosh Hashanah, 5757/1996)For 2 weeks this summer millions of Americans were riveted to their television sets, as they followed the pageantry and excitement of the Olympic Games. The thrill of these contests, whose motto is "faster, higher, stronger", was in watching individuals who have dedicated their lives to reaching the heights of human athletic performance, and knowing of the intense dedication that has led them to this moment. Taking note of athletes who strive to reach their best, we can find a message for each of us. The men and women who took their place on the Olympic winners' podium made their way there because of certain values, strategies and practices which I believe can help all of us to make life fuller, more joyful and more meaningful. As we usher in the Jewish New Year, a time of soul searching and introspection, we can benefit from their example, and their "Gold Medal lessons for life". One of the athletes who most captured the attention of viewers was Dan O'Brien, who won the gold medal in the decathlon. Not only because this is one of the hallmark events in the Olympics, earning the winner the title of the world's greatest athlete, but also because four years ago, O'Brien failed to even qualify for the Barcelona games. This, to an athlete who trains so rigorously for one purpose, can be devastating. Deprived of his chance in '92, Dan O'Brien didn't give up. For four additional years he continued to train so that he might reach this moment.
