It was so fun that it became rugby. The first signs of American football dates back to the 19th century when students from elite colleges and universities played it. A violent running game was played in Princeton around 1820, and around the same time a kicking game was played by the students of Dartmouth College. The rules used in the Dartmouth game, known as “Old Division Football”, were published in 1871. Rugby was the first running game to codify its rules in 1845.
Shown in doc. 2, Prince Ranjitsinhji of India was invited to play on the British Sussex team. It is often seen that the British have certain standards for a cricket player, but this shows they recognize the young player through his skills, not his background or caste. However, because it was published by the British, this paper could have been used as a source of propaganda. Well quoted in doc.
Lacrosse Sport is the area of contribution. Lacrosse is a team sport; it was originally played with a small rubber ball and a long handled stick it has become a more developed sport and it is now played with a plastic head with a mesh inside on a long metal stick so that you can catch and handle the ball. Lacrosse was developed by the North American Indians; they started playing it as early as the 12th century, then when the French explorers first observed this game and called it “Baggataway” which is French for the stick indicating the primary instrument to play the game. The rules of this game were first written by Dr. George Beers. Lacrosse is a contact sport so that means it requires padding.

His first criminal insights developed in the 1860’s when he was working as a doctor in the army and the characteristics of the soldiers, however, his name came into Criminological significance with the publication of his first book, ‘The Criminal Man’ (1876). In this book he suggested from his research that criminals were biologically determined, a physical type with specific characteristics that differentiates them from others, and throwbacks to earlier forms of evolutionary life (Newburn 2007). During the period Lombroso wrote this book, Charles Darwin’s (1968) theory of evolution was a very popular concept, and Lombroso was thought to be heavily influenced by this, proposing that criminals were ‘lower down the evolutionary scale than law abiding citizens’ (Cited in Crowther 2007: 278). Before publishing ‘The Criminal Man’, Lombroso famously conducted a study on the physical and mental characteristics of 400 Italian soldiers and 90 ‘lunatics’, examining and comparing them. He concluded there were a selection of specific characteristics setting criminals apart from others and stated that they were a ‘sub-species’.
Rugby and football may have originated from each other way back in the 10th century in England, but the time and the way the two games were invented are quite different (“Sports Know How”). Rugby was actually invented unintentionally in the year of 1823 when a soccer player by the name of William Ellis, who was on a team with a man whose last name was Rugby, picked up the ball and ran it all the way across the end of the goal line on the playing field (Mood, Muscker and Rink 395). On the other hand, football was invented intentionally by, what people call the father of football, Walter Camp. Camp sat down with others to form the concept and the positions in the game (“Sports Know How”). The equipment used for Rugby and football are tremendously different.
In 1883, the rubber football was introduced. The material that is used to make the ball has changed from rubber to leather to the modern day balls, which uses both leather and rubber. As the game spread though the world, the material used to make the ball also changed. In modern days, there are some parts of the world where rubber balls are not available. To be part of the game, children uses polythene bags that are folded into a spherical shapes and polythene threads to make the ball.

I will also give a prediction of how juvenile justice prevention and intervention strategies will be handled over the next 2 decades. “The law has long defined a line between juvenile and adult offenders, but that line has been drawn at different places, for different reasons. Early in United States history, the law was heavily influenced by the common law of England, which governed the American colonies. One of the most important English lawyers of the time was William Blackstone. Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England, first published in the late 1760s, were widely read and admired by our nation’s founders”(The history of, 2008).
