Extractions: Smithsonian Office of Public Affairs Sitting in her book-filled office adorned with a Victorian wooden ticket window at the National Museum of American History, Ellen Roney Hughes discusses her belief that all artifacts have meaning, including and perhaps especially sports artifacts. "My research area is in material culture, which is the use of artifacts in the study of history," she explains. Hughes, a cultural historian in the museum's Division of Community Life, oversees a collection of about 3,000 mostly 19th- and 20th-century sports objects, ranging from a backyard badminton set to Arthur Ashe's tennis racket. Included in this collection is an assortment of sports equipment acquired in the late 1800s by George Brown Goode, who worked at the Smithsonian from the early 1870s, first as a volunteer and eventually becoming the director of the U.S. National Museum (now Arts and Industries).

In King Edward's reign of England (1307-1327), laws were passed that threatened imprisonment to anyone caught playing soccer. King Edward's proclamation said:" For as much as there is a great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls, from which many evils may arise, which God forbid, we command and forbid on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city future." Softball originated in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day, 1887. A group of about twenty young men had gathered in the gymnasium of the Farragut Boat Club in order to hear the outcome of the Harvard-Yale football game. After Yale's victory was announced and bets were paid off, a man picked up a stray boxing glove and threw it at someone. Swimming.

Extractions: The Legion's involvement in track and field goes back to the 1950's when Ontario Legion Hydro Branch 277 first sponsored the former Canadian Olympic Training Plan. This program went Dominion wide after the 1956 Legion Dominion Convention in Vancouver. By 1957 the Legion was conducting national athletes' clinics with each province being invited to send athletes and coaches. By 1961 more than 700 athletes had attended these sessions. In 1962 the Canadian Government awarded a grant to sustain the program and this funding continued until 1969. When this support was withdrawn, the track and field program went back to being a provincial level program. In 1975, however, the Legion decided to run a pilot national track and field meet in Waterloo, Ontario. It's extreme success led to the continuation of the program for a 1976 meet in Edmonton, Alberta, since when it has become an annual event and a major program within the Legion. Funding is provided from the Legion's own resources. The nationally sanctioned event which has developed over the years is now divided into two sections - a two-day meet and a two-day clinic for the athletes. These events are attended by more than 330 athletes, 25 coaches and 35 chaperons.

University Of Florida - Department Of Recreational Sports -History
The history of Lake Wauburg has seen the development of a small portion of land used by the National Intramural Recreational sports Association
http://www.recsports.ufl.edu/lake_history.aspx

Extractions: In 1918, the University YMCA purchased twenty acres of land and water at Lake Wauburg as a recreation center for University of Florida students. This was before the road across Paynes Prairie was completed. The journey to the lake took about a half-day on a winding road of mostly sand with the danger of getting stuck in the sand and mud. In 1928 Dr. John Tigert became president of the university. The University YMCA dissolved, and the land was deeded to the University of Florida with the understanding that the Union would administer the facility. The Union took over the running of Lake Wauburg (then Camp Wauburg) in 1936, and the transfer of the property to the University of Florida occurred in 1938. In 1962-63 U. F. Student Government acquired what is currently known as Lake Wauburg South. This is a 72-acre (30.2 acres under water) parcel of land, which the Athletic Association had bought from a private citizen in 1958. The Athletic Association had envisioned it as a retreat facility and an area for team use, but no development of the land occurred. During the period between the acquisition of Lake Wauburg South and the reopening of the North Park, many ideas were discussed relating to the development of both areas of land. One possibility discussed was the transfer of the North Park to the Department of Natural Resources, and the development of the South Park. The State Division of Parks was to incorporate Lake Wauburg North into its Paynes Prairie project. This transfer never occurred. Stipulations in the court order under which the University acquired the property in 1938 held that the property was for the use of the students of the University of Florida and could not be sold or transferred to any other party.

Student Rec Center - Groundbreaking Ceremony March 2003 - How did it start? UNT students considered a recreation center to be a critical facility on a university campus. In fact, the project was initiated by the Recreation and Leisure Studies Society, a UNT student group, in 1997. The idea gained momentum through student involvement and a referendum was voted on by the students and then passed by the Texas legislature, making the Student Recreation Center a reality. The need for the Student Recreation Center was further documented by a survey of UNT students that showed a need for "a place to be on campus." The survey indicated a critical need for student social and leisure space on campus.

Extractions: SPECIAL TO THE UNION-TRIBUNE April 20, 2005 Nino DaSilva knew that he had big shoes to fill portraying one of the players on the 1950 U.S. national team that achieved one of the biggest upset victories in World Cup soccer history. DaSilva especially remembers stepping into replicas of the awkward footwear of the era, as an actor in "The Game of Their Lives," a movie set to premiere Friday from the creators of "Rudy" and "Hoosiers." In the process, the onetime member of the old San Diego Sockers indoor team walked away with a greater admiration of the players who beat England 1-0 in Brazil for "America's Finest Moment in the World's Greatest Game," as the movie poster proclaims. In a twist for Eric Wynalda, the former U.S. national soccer player says he takes great pride in missing a shot just off the crossbar in a scene from the movie "The Game of Their Lives."
