Extractions: before the slap shot... there was a ball and a stick. One of the oldest of competitive pastimes, the sport of field hockey dates back well before the Ancient Olympic Games. Although the exact origin of the game remains unknown, 4,000-year-old drawings found in the tomb at Beni-Hasen in the Nile Valley of Egypt depicted men playing the sport. Throughout the following centuries, variations of the game were played by a spectrum of cultures ranging from Greeks and Romans to Ethiopians and Aztecs. Hockey first appeared on the Olympic program at the 1908 London Games and again in 1920 at Antwerp. The sport was again featured on the program at Amsterdam in 1928 and has been an Olympic sport ever since. Women's hockey became a fixture on the Olympic program in Moscow in 1980. Originally considered far too dangerous for female participation, field hockey quickly became popular with women whose previous introduction to sport included the "socially acceptable" outdoor activities of croquette and lawn tennis. With more and more women becoming active in the sport, the liberating game of field hockey earned the dubious title as the only team sport considered proper for women.

Field hockey dates back to the Egyptians (2050 B.C.) and was one of the earliest sports where women were able to engage in strenuous activity. Over centuries, the rules and playing surfaces have changed, but the two-team stick-and-ball concept has remained intact. It was not until the 19th century that field hockey became firmly established and was still considered the only proper sport for women. As the sport spread in popularity throughout Europe, it reached the U.S. in 1901 and 21 years later, the U.S. Field Hockey Association was established. The International Federation of Women's Hockey Associations (IFWHA) was formed in 1927. The women played according to the men's rules, but their clothing was cumbersome. Skirts hung nearly to the ground to cover every inch of their legs and heavy petticoats, corsets, long sleeves and high, stiff collars impeded movement.

For 33-year-old Hawkes, the win over Argentina in front of her country was the crowning achievement in a magnificent career.

Search Rodman Wanamaker, son of the Philadelphia department store magnate, called a meeting of golf pros in early 1916 and offered to donate $2,580 as prize money for a tournament if the golfers agreed to form a national organization. As a result, the Professional Golfers Association of America was founded in June of that year and the association's championship tournament was held at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York, from Oct. 10 through 16. Also at Wanamaker's suggestion, it was a match-play tournament. Long Jim Barnes beat Jock Hutchison Sr. in the final match. Because of World War I, the tournament wasn't held again until 1919, when Barnes successfully defended his title with a 6-and-5 victory over Fred McLeod. Because of the constraints of television, the tournament was switched to stroke play in 1958.
