Oh my, field hockey. I was expecting ice hockey! We had a famous football coach (american) here, a son of Swedish immigrants who made Notre Dame University into a football powerhouse in the '20's. He was a protestant and the University was Roman Catholic. Football came under criticism as too violent a sport. In discussions with the University President, he asked "Would you rather have me put a bunch of Irishmen on the field chasing one another around with clubs in their hands?" Regards, Bob S.
