Title	Tennis, Golf and Lacrosse
Sport	Tennis, Golf and Lacrosse
Coverage	1890s - 1960s
Description	TENNIS: There were lawn tennis courts on campus as early as 1890, and by the 1930s it was a well established sport. GOLF: The first evidence of a golf team appears in the 1930s. LACROSSE: In the later part of the 19th century, lacrosse at PMC was hugely popular. Beginning with its arrival in 1887, lacrosse commanded more attention from cadets that any other sport and was such a hit that official cadet responsibilities and routines were neglected by some who participated. During these early years of the sport, cadets knew little about the rules of the game and were simply instructed to play it just like you do football, only there aint no such thing as offsides. In spite of such a promising beginning, the sport died out, and did not formally return to PMC Colleges until 1968.
