  Sports History
Moreover, sport became a means for Canadians to express their feelings of pride in their new nation, aggressively searching for international competition and finding considerable success on the playing fields of the world.
It is clear that the thrust behind the organization of sports in Canada's cities at this time came from members of the professional and business classes, who had the contacts, organizational skills and time to devote to this development.
At the beginning of the 19th century, sport was largely controlled by the upper classes, and restrictive codes were established to segregate undesirables; the earliest forms were often racially based, restricting Indians and fls from competing with whites.

 Soccer remains foreign concept to most Americans - The Boston Globe
Beginning in the 1840s and fully developed by the late 1850s, baseball had become a totally modern sport with teams, written rules, and uniforms that was played all over the United States.
This marginalization in the nomenclature already bespeaks soccer's peripheral position in America's sports space at whose core rules this other football, appropriately called American football since it is not played anywhere else in the world in that fashion.
Enter basketball, the only modern team sport that had absolutely no predecessors in ancient Egypt, Renaissance Italy, the Inca empires, or rural Britain but was literally created de novo by Dr. James Naismith in Springfield in 1891.

 Men's Baseball
Baseball was not a newsworthy subject on campus until 1897 when the Quiver gave it searching scrutiny, "Claiming the past teams had not been very strong," the editors hoped "that baseball would enjoy a successful season in 1897." This kind of hopefulness argued well for the future of baseball at the school.
It was their considerable contribution, which led the Normal's to championships in all three sports in 1920 and all except football in 1921.
In the 1920s, according to Robert M Kolf, Emeritus Associate Professor of Physical Education, "Inadequate facilities for play and practice meant that the development of sports at Oshkosh was badly handicapped." The Oshkosh baseball team, at the time, had only miniscule space to practice.

 UW Press - : Wisconsin Where They Row: A History of Varsity Rowing at the University of Wisconsin, Brad Taylor - ...
Although this oldest of intercollegiate sports had its American beginnings in 1852 as a contest among Ivy League men, it would soon have to make room for the stubborn steadfastness of Wisconsin's athletes.
Taylor recounts rowing's beginnings as the first UW intramural sport in 1874, the long and rich history of the men's crew, the establishment of the women's team in 1972, and the presence of Wisconsin rowers on every U.S. men's and women's Olympic rowing squad from 1968 through 2000.
He tells of the UW men's victory in 1892 at Oconomowoc against the "Chicago Navy," their first competition against an outside club; the story of the famed "Berry-Crate Crew"; and the Badger crews' participation in the early intercollegiate regattas on the Hudson River.
