STICK
Continued from Page 9
tribal warfare version except the
long-handled racket or crosse
that gives the sport its name. It’s
true that the object in both the
men’s and women’s lacrosse is
to send a ball through a goal by
means of the racket, but whereas
men resort to brute strength, the
women depend solely on skill.”
Today, Sinclair, is remem-
bered as the “Grand Dame of 4
crosse” and was the first wom{glyl |
to be inducted into the Nationa: =
Lacrosse Hall of Fame
In a tribute to the origins of
girls lacrosse, the “old stick”
that the Lake-Lehman and Dal-
las girls will play for is an au-
thentic Hattersley’s “Viktoria”
hickory crosse crafted in Man-
chester, England nearly 100
years ago. The name “J.L. Cray”
is carved in the handle - presum-
ably by the girl who first owned
the crosse and used it to play
with her classmates on the lawn
of her school long ago.
