 There's still a lot more good done than bad in youth sports   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Sports editor Phil Anastasia, a 23-year member of the Courier-Post staff, writes about the inside story and meaning of sports.
Just about everybody who has been involved in youth sports for a significant amount of time will say that things have taken a turn for the worse, that parents have racheted up the pressure, that disputes over playing time can occupy more of a coach's energy than actual instruction or game strategy.
There are parents - thousands of parents, the majority of parents - who stay on the far side of the fence and the right side of the line, and see youth sports for what it is: An opportunity for their children to play with their friends, and make some new ones.

 Equestrian Sports
Today's major equestrian sports have developed principally from the 17th and 18th-century activities of academic horsemanship, the fox hunt and the steeplechase, although the use of horses in competitions dates back at least to the ancient OLYMPIC GAMES.
The first modern Olympic equestrian events, held in Paris in 1900, consisted of show jumping, the long jump and the high jump.
Women have long been active in equestrian competition, but were not admitted to the Olympics until 1952 in dressage, until 1956 in jumping and until 1964 in the 3-day event; equestrian sports is one of the few Olympic activities where women and men compete in the same events.

Rocky Carzo, 72 years old and a few million punts and passes gone by, figures it's time to kick up a little dirt on the sidelines, to be true to both his school and athletic history.
Carzo, the former Tufts football coach, athletic director, and now AD emeritus, makes a convincing case that the first true link in US college football's evolutionary chain was forged when Tufts squared off against Harvard at 3 p.m, June 4, 1875, on what was then Jarvis Field, just a short stroll north of Harvard Square.
Nonetheless, according to John Wooding, the Rutgers associate athletic director for communications, the '69 game remains the game's starting point.
