43. The History Of Water Polo
    The history of water polo There is little documentation as By 1900 water polo wasso popular it became the first team sport added to the olympic program.  
    http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Loge/4149/history.html
    
    Extractions: There is little documentation as to the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid- 19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby football. Early games used an inflated, vulcanized rubber ball imported from India known as a "Pulu" (The single Indian word for ball). Pronounced "Polo" by the English, both the ball and the game became known as "water polo". To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association developed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, then appear again as near the goal as possible. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on but the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. The introduction of the "Trudgeom stroke" byScottish players changed the nature of water polo to a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing, Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10X3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be "tackled" when they held the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball.

    Extractions: History Of Water Polo The word water polo originated from the Indian term "pulu," meaning ball: the ball game played in water. The sport actually began as a form of rugby football played in rivers and lakes. Before the introduction of a goal, the object of the game was to get the pig skin ball from one side of the pool to the opponents side. By 1869, an Indian rubber ball began replacing the original ball which was made from a pig's stomach. Eventually rules for football were applied to the game in the water. Brute strength was the only tactic before passing and "dribbling" evolved later on and many fights occurred throughout the game. Soon, in Scotland, the game changed from a football style of play to a soccer style as a goal was placed at each end of the pool. Players could be tackled as long as they held onto the ball and the primary rule that players could only touch the ball with one hand at a time also came into effect. In the late 1880s, these Scottish rules were generally adopted throughout Great Britain. In 1888, the United States became the next country to play water polo when John Robinson, an English swimming instructor, organized a team at the Boston Athletic Association. It was one of the most intense and roughest games ever played. The first American championships took place on January 28, 1890 in Providence where the Sydenham Swimming Club defeated the Boston Athletic Association, 2-1. By the turn of the century, the game was one of the more popular spectator sports in America.

    Extractions: Sydney, Australia—The sands in the quadrennial hourglass have almost finished sifting. In just one week, thousands of athletes from all over the world will take to the fields, courts, pools, ranges, mats, and tracks of Sydney to pursue excellence in sport’s most coveted competition…the Olympic Games. The XXVIIth Olympiad is nearly upon us, and the U.S. is ready to play. Both the men’s and women’s team will be competing for the Stars and Stripes in the Land Down Under in 2000. Men’s water polo, the oldest team sport in the Olympic Games, last captured gold in 1904, but has since racked up two silver and three bronze. This year, coach John Vargas looks to lead his squad, which he refers to as “the most physically talented team” in recent U.S. history, to the medals ceremonies with the first water polo gold of the new millennium. For the women, this will be their first dive into the Olympic mix. Prior to July, the U.S. was referred to as a “last ditch qualifier” with little chance of competing with top teams like Australia and Holland. After winning the Holiday Cup with a victory over Canada back on July 9, Team USA eradicated its prior billing and propelled them into the gold medal mentionables file.

Utsumi, who has been working with the U.S. Men's and Women's Olympic Water Polo teams, was recently hired by the Sydney Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games to serve as a news media specialist for the water polo events. He will head up the press room at the sport's venue, overseeing a staff of writers, supervising the distribution of press releases, and doing previews for every game. There will be 12 men's and 6 women's teams competing. Men's water polo was the first Olympic team sport, debuting at the 1900 event. This year, women will be allowed to enter the competition, making it at once the oldest and the newest team sport in Olympic history. Utsumi's love of the sport and connection to top water polo teams go back many years and has taken him around the world.

    Extractions: 16 September-1 October 2000 It wasn’t that long ago that a group of fit young women in swimsuits brandished placards at Sydney airport to lobby for the inclusion of women’s water polo in the 2000 Olympic Games. Although water polo was one of the first team events of the modern Olympic Games, introduced in Paris in 1900, at the 1996 Games women were still not eligible to compete. Finally, dedication to their dream saw it become a reality in Sydney, when women’s water polo made its Olympic debut on September 16 with a six-nation field. With seven players per side, the aim of water polo is to throw the ball into the opponent’s goal at the opposite end. But simple it is not, as both male and female players can swim the equivalent of 1500 m in each game, unable to touch the bottom of the pool for a rest. And, in action not always obvious to the referees, underwater cameras in the pool at Sydney gave a perspective of the roughness under the water as players wrestled each other for position and possession. The battles in the pool attracted the most spectators in Australian water polo history. The men played in a 30 m pool and the women in a 25 m pool.

    Extractions: The History of Water Polo Water polo the skill and tactical approach of football and the aggression and physical contest of rugby. Resort owners in England created the water-based game in the mid-1800s to attract guests, and it quickly became popular. Played in rivers and lakes, water polo then was quite different to today's game. A favourite tactic was for players to hide the ball in their swimming trunks and then dive under the murky water to reappear unnoticed near the goals. The sport was, if anything, even more rugged than rugby, with robust tackling and general roughhousing part and parcel of the game. Players were known to come to the surface barely conscious after long wrestling bouts underwater. Water polo at that time was so brutal, in fact, that universities in the United States banned it from their campuses. The modern game emerged in the 1880s when rule changes introduced in Scotland led to a faster game more dependant on skill than on brute strength. The rule changes increased water polo's popularity and saw it spread to Europe, and throughout the British Empire. In 1900, it made its first appearance at the Olympic Games, and has been contested at every Games since. In that time, Hungary has been the standout water polo nation. From 1932 through to 1956 it won four of a possible five gold medals, adding two more in 1964 and 1976. Notable Hungarian players included five-time medallist Dezso Gyarmati and Oliver Halassy, a three-time Olympian with one leg amputated below the knee from a childhood accident.

Jimmy Thompson coached for over 30 years, and was Hamilton's citizen of the year in 1957.

Team members included the junior members of the 1939 team and, in addition, Lloyd Larson, Jack McCormack, and Mike Veidenheimer.
