Jay Van Rensselaer 1 Lacrosse, first played by Native Americans before The Game recorded time, now is one of the fastest growing games on the local, national, and international sports scenes. From the United States to Japan, of Lacrosse from Great Britain to the Czech Republic, players of all ages are propelling lacrosse to new heights in participation and popularity. It is booming particu- larly at the youth level, not only captivating novice players and casual observers but also strengthening its ties with those who get to know it well. A game of constant action and exceptional grace, lacrosse combines the individual skill of baseball, the physical demands of football, the team strategies of basketball, and the conditioning required in soc- cer. It has made its way from youth league tourna- ments in local parks to collegiate championships in the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens’ 69,084-seat M&T Bank Stadium and the Philadel- phia Eagles’ 68,532-seat Lincoln Financial Field and into countless homes through television coverage. Spectators cannot help but be caught up in the thrills—and beauty—of lacrosse. Whether a pass from a midfielder to an attackman, creating a fast break that leads to a goal and clinches a 17–16 win; a smoothly executed slide by a defenseman who, with one swift poke check, knocks the ball to the ground, scoops it up, and sprints past the opponents; a bone- crunching hit that up-ends an opposing player in the middle of the field; or a spectacular save by a goalie that secures a 9–8 victory—lacrosse offers partici- pants and fans alike tremendous, nonstop excitement. Today’s youngsters take part in more organized sports than their parents or grandparents did, and more opportunities exist now than ever before for young men and women to become involved in la- crosse. In addition, because of lacrosse’s increased 3 presence on television, the efforts of US Lacrosse The parity of our sport at the Division I level (the sport’s national governing body), and sports has promoted growth as well. More college teams, clinics held by high school and college coaches, the in more areas, now are having success, which in number of adults who have knowledge of the game turn is sparking interest in local high schools.

  • Statistical Leaders of the ‘20S
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 2 (1992) Statistical Leaders of the ‘20s By Bob GIll Probably the most ambitious undertaking in football research was David Neft’s effort to re-create statistics from contemporary newspaper accounts for 1920-31, the years before the NFL started to keep its own records. Though in a sense the attempt had to fail, since complete and official stats are impossible, the results of his tireless work provide the best picture yet of the NFL’s formative years. Since the stats Neft obtained are far from complete, except for scoring records, he refrained from printing yearly leaders for 1920-31. But it seems a shame not to have such a list, incomplete though it may be. Of course, it’s tough to pinpoint a single leader each year; so what follows is my tabulation of the top five, or thereabouts, in passing, rushing and receiving for each season, based on the best information available – the stats printed in Pro Football: The Early Years and Neft’s new hardback edition, The Football Encyclopedia. These stats can be misleading, because one man’s yardage total will be based on, say, five complete games and four incomplete, while another’s might cover just 10 incomplete games (i.e., games for which no play-by-play accounts were found). And then some teams, like Rock Island, Green Bay, Pottsville and Staten Island, often have complete stats, based on play-by-plays for every game of a season. I’ll try to mention variations like that in discussing each year’s leaders – for one thing, “complete” totals will be printed in boldface.

  • First and Second Degree Black Belt Training Manual
    First and Second Degree Black Belt Training Manual Developed by: Adam J. Boisvert, A-5-19 Chief Instructor & Shannon L. Boisvert, A-3-31 Assistant Chief Instructor Black Belt: Expert or Novice One of the greatest misconceptions within the martial arts is the notion that all black belt holders are experts. It is understandable that those unacquainted with the martial arts might make this equation. However, students should certainly recognize that this is not always the case. Too often, novice black belt holders advertise themselves as experts and eventually even convince themselves. The black belt holder has usually learned enough technique to defend themselves against single opponents of average ability. They can be compared to a fledgling that has acquired enough feathers to leave the nest and fend for themselves. The first degree is a starting point. The student has merely built a foundation. The job of building the house lies ahead. The novice black belt holder will now really begin to learn technique. Now that they have mastered the alphabet, they can now begin to read. Years of hard work and study await them before they can even begin to consider themselves an instructor or expert. A good student will, at this stage, suddenly realize how very little they know. The black belt holder also enters a new era of responsibility. Though a freshman, they have entered a strong honorable fraternity of the black belt holders of the entire world; and their actions inside and outside the training hall will be carefully scrutinized. Their conduct will reflect on all black belt holders and they must constantly strive to set an example for all grade holders.

  • Ben Lee Boynton:The Purple Streak
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 25, No. 3 (2003) Ben Lee Boynton:The Purple Streak by Jeffrey Miller The 1924 season was one of transition for Buffalo’s pro football team. The All-Americans, as the team had been known since its founding in 1920, had been very successful in its four year history, finishing within one game of the league championship in both the 1920 and 1921 seasons. But successive 5-4 campaigns and declining attendance had convinced owner Frank McNeil that it was time to get out of the football business. McNeil sold the franchise to a group led by local businessman Warren D. Patterson and Tommy Hughitt, the team’s player/coach, for $50,000. The new ownership changed the name of the team to Bisons, and committed themselves signing big name players in an effort to improve performance both on the field and at the box office. The biggest transaction of the off-season was the signing of “the Purple Streak,” former Williams College star quarterback Benny Lee Boynton. Boynton, a multiple All America selection at Williams, began his pro career with the Rochester Jeffersons in 1921. His signing with the Bisons in 1924 gave the Buffalo team its first legitimate star since Elmer Oliphant donned an orange and black sweater three years earlier. Born Benjamin Lee Boynton on December 6, 1898 in Waco, Texas, to Charles and Laura Boynton, Ben Lee learned his love of football at an early age. He entered Waco High School in 1912, and the next year began a string of three consecutive seasons and Waco’s starting quarterback.
