It is argued that old and new records cannot be _ compared beâ€" cause the style of play and Sport fans rave over Bobby Mull‘s record 54 goals in 70 games. But how about Bullet Joe Malone who scored 44 goals in 22 games in the 1918â€"19 season? And never. again will anybody match George Hainsworth‘s reâ€" cord of 22 shutouts in 44 games during the NHL‘s 1928 29 season. Imagine any golfer today tryâ€" ing to compete with those crude, oversized clubs of 50 or more years ago and on greens that had nothing like themanicure of today. Lacrosse is still strucpling to survive. The people today who criticize hockey for its rouch play would have been appalled aAt the club â€" swinging, dragemâ€" out lacrosse games. Boxing today is called a saâ€" vage sport, but wasn‘t it worse in those old days when two men went after each other with bare fists in matches that wouldn‘t end until one man coukin‘t cet to his fect, even if it took 20 or more roaumiis. It wasn‘t too lons acso when women wore ankle â€" lencth skirts when they played tennis; today shorts are the rule rather than the exception. Curling used to be played with crude wooden blocks when and where ice was available. Imaâ€" pine the look on the faces of some of those old â€" timers if they could look into Kâ€"W curling clubs today. Better equipment. new drainâ€" mg â€" techniques and specialized coaching have brought sreat imâ€" provements in sporis. The person who turned out for various games in years gone by was a real fan. He either stood m the dust under a broilins sun or in zero weather with bone â€" chilling winds. That same could be said of the luxurious arenas and stadiums used today for all kinds of athâ€" letic activities. If someone had said in 1867 that baseball would be played m a covered stadium with a conâ€" trolled temperature and the finâ€" est appointments, from â€" dining lounges to uphoistered seats, he would have been the butt of all this modern day of accomplishâ€" ing, what seems to be the imâ€" possible it boggles one‘s imaginâ€" atron to think of what‘s in store in the next 100 years. Sports have undergone startâ€" Img and constant changes ovâ€" er the past 100 years, and in this modern day of accomplishâ€" Sports Are Different Today WATERLOO INTERMEDIATE Ball Cllub, 1931.

This is a trend that will continue for years to come. One reason why some of these sports have become more popuâ€" lar is because women are takâ€" More money than ever is beâ€" mg spont on recreation because experts say that it is needed to round out a child‘s development and provide activities for those enjoying a shorter work week. What of the next 100 years. The same sports will be here with one or iwo possible excepâ€" tions. However, with more and more people participating in sports, pather than simply being specâ€" tators, the emphasis could sudâ€" denly swing from one sport to another. Look how golf, curling and bowling have suddenly boomed. At the same time, baseball bas lost its appeal. But today‘s athletes have more opportunities and they are makâ€" in the best of them. Think back a moment. Did your school or town have the organized sports programs that are enjoyed today. No one dare say an athlete in bygone days was better than today‘s athlete any more than you can say that today‘s athlete is better than those in the oldâ€" en days. Certainly players playing for an entitre 60 minutes wouldn‘t have the same zip as the playâ€" ers today who are changed at one or two â€" minute intervals. But can anyone deny they weren‘t as good as players today. It‘s the same in baseball. Babe Ruth hit 60 homeruns in 154 games during the 1927 seaâ€" son. But they have given the record to Roger Maris who hit 61 homers in 1961, even though it took Maris 162 games to do it.. And with a rabbit ball, too ‘l-rack and field, athletes are setting amazing records. Remember when the four minâ€" ute _ mile was every runner‘s dream? Last summer Jim Ryun did it in three minutes and 51.3 seconds. Again, improved training niques and equipment are reason. Look at the changes in uniâ€" forms, skates and sticks of hocâ€" key players today. Teams now carry 19 players compared to the six and seven way back when. Everything is now designâ€" ed for speed and more speed. rules have been changed. ter the Sports will still have a great impact on the Canadian way of life for the next 100 years â€" and longer. & o c# «u. #*~ t & . .(/\.2: s3 e .. o 3 o.
