Lacrosse:
Lacrosse was played
with two poles. At the end of each pole was a piece of net, shaped
like a basket.
The object of the game was to toss a ball back and
forth and catch it in the basket at the end of your pole.
Although you
could not touch the ball with anything except your net, you could use
your pole to hit another player. You could trip players.
Lacrosse was a rough game. It was a warrior's
game. It was also a national game. Village played village,
while onlookers cheered for their favorite teams and booed the
opponents.
