Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Croquet Table of Contents History Croquet in America Forms of the Sport Other Resources History Although croquet is a rather young sport, its ancestry can be traced at least to the 14th century, and there are a couple of stories about how it originated. One is that lawn bowlers developed an indoor form of their sport to be played during the winter, adding hoops and mallets to make the game more challenging on the much smaller playing area. This indoor version of lawn bowling then moved back outdoors and become known in France as paille-maille ("ball-mallet"). The other is that paille-maille was originally a form of outdoor billiards. However, judging by what scanty documentation there is, billiards seems to have come along about a century later. It's quite possible that the movement went the other waythat paille-maille moved indoors and become billiards. In any event, the sport existed for several centuries without becoming particularly popular. Scottish golfers seem to have taken it up, possibly as a kind of practice, during the 16th century and, when James VI of Scotland became James I of England in 1604, he brought paille-maille equipment as well as golf clubs to his new court. Played during the 17th century by Charles II and his courtiers at St. James's Park in London, the name of the game was anglicized to Pall Mall, which also became the name of a nearby street. "Mall" then turned into a generic word for any street used for public strolls. And now, of course, it usually refers to an enclosed area where people stroll from store to store.

T he fascinating story of Ethiopia's 'King of Music', the late Tilahun Gessesse, is captured very well in a recent biography published by Shama Books. While the adult life of Tilahun was always in the public domain, his early years were not well known. Born in Addis Ababa, Tilahun grew in Welisso with his grandparents. He later ran away to Dire Dawa in his early teens. Encouraged by his Sudanese headmaster at the elementary school in Welisso, Tilahun discovers his calling at an early age and - once again - runs away from his grandparent's home to Addis Ababa at the age of 16. Married at least seven times (he admits only five) and fathering at least 14 kids, Tilahun left a huge legacy. Undoubtedly, Tilahun remains to be the most beloved Ethiopian musician of all times. H is account of the border demarcation in the vast Ethiopian territory of Ogaden between the English (English Somaliland) and Ethiopia in the pre-World War II era is one of the most anticipated works of Historical significance. This upcoming work to be published by the AAU press will be based on the notes he took in his capacity as member of the border commission appointed by Emperor Haile Selassie. Blaten Geta Mersie Hazen W/Qirqos was a prolific writer whose works - thanks to his son Amha MH - continue to be valuable as landmark documents of Ethiopian way of life in the early 20th Century. The Blaten Geta is perhaps most remembered by the text book he wrote in early the century. What was the name of the book that almost all students in Ethiopia preparing for the national exams had to read?

We are posting the new information as our research progresses. If you have any helpful suggestions or information email the webmaster. Pearl River Community College's Athletic tradition spans most of this century and includes some prominent and memorable sports figures, athletes, and coaches. Football Pearl River County Agricultural High School played its first football game in 1911, according to information gathered by former Director of Public Relations, Larry Stanford, for the Wildcat�s Roar sports magazine: ...Making its debut in 1911, the first-ever Wildcat team finished with a 2-1-1 record under head coach Blonde Williams (See Note Below.) The first game ever played by Pearl River (County Agricultural High School) was against Laurel in a hard-fought defensive battle that ended in an uncharacteristic 5-5 tie. Later in the debut season, halfback and Captain George Pearson scored Pearl River�s first touchdown...Besides Pearson, other members of the Wildcats� inaugural squad included tackle Basil Breland, tackle Ned Cooper, center Seancy Davis, guard Clyde Fulton, quarterback L.A. Hurst, guard John Lumpkin, end Tom Pearson, fullback Luther Smith, end Clarence Stewart, and halfback Hubert Strahan. Editor's Note: Blonde Williams, it is discovered, was not the first coach, but was listed as the coach for Mississippi Normal College's (now USM) football team and served as a referee at this game. The first football coach was Mr. L. A. Hurst. Mr. Hurst served as the school's second Agricultural teacher. During those times, the coach would often play as well. Hurst played on and coached the Pearl River "Aggies," as the team was known. This inaugural football team, after beating Laurel 6-3 claimed the State prep school championship. Their claim was not challenged.
