The Board of Directors are seeking benefactor(s) to endow each division with a $25 million donation. An endowment will also be sought for the theatre in the amount of $25 million. The benefactor(s) will then be offered the opportunity to name the Library, Museum or theatre, subject to the final approval of the Board of Directors. Our plans are to construct facilities on a campus approximately 300 acres in size. This will allow us have room for expansion in the decades to come as we increase the endowment and add sports facilities to the educational program. Sports fields are desirable in order to teach through participation and play. If we have a baseball field we can teach the history of baseball by playing a game using 1860 rules for 3 innings, then playing by modern rules for 3 innings. In the basement of the Museum we could have a bowling alley from the 1800's where the pins have to be set by hand, and right next to it have a modern bowling alley that is fully automated. Our visitors can go bowling either way. Consider the possibilities for each and every sport this means a lot of space is needed.

Extractions: squash.sports-resource.com Betting 130 years of squash Squash was invented in Harrow school around 1830, when the pupils discovered that a punctured Rackets ball, which "squashed" on impact with the wall, produced a game with a greater variety of shots and required much more effort on the part of the players, who could not simply wait for the ball to bounce back to them as with Rackets. The variant proved popular and in 1864 the first four Squash courts were constructed at the school and Squash was officially founded as a sport in its own right. In those early days Squash, as with all other sports, was without any form of international standardisation and it was inevitable that slight variations in the way it was played, and the equipment used, would occur. Luckily only two main streams of activity followed, one in England with its 21 feet wide courts and "soft" ball and the other in North America, with its 18.5 feet wide courts and "hard" ball and with both courts having the same length of 32 feet the universality of Squash was not seriously challenged. We will look at these two branches separately and also at the way in which Squash spread to almost every nation in the world. Early days in England As Squash play developed so did its administrative structure. The first discrete national associations to be formed were the United States Squash Racquets Association in 1907 and the Canadian Squash Racquets Association in 1911. In England the game was regulated by a Squash sub committee of the Tennis and Rackets Association from 1908 until it gained full status as the Squash Rackets Association in 1928.

World Squash Federation (WSF) President Susie Simcock led a delegation which met with M. Noel de Saint Pulgent, Chief Executive Officer of the Paris 2008 Bid Committee. The WSF committee included 10-times World Champion Jahangir Khan and the President of the French Squash Federation, Jacques Fontaine, together with WSF Vice Presidents Mike Corby and Joyce Buckley. M. de Saint Pulgent confirmed that Squash would be a welcome addition to the Olympic Programme as, in France, it is seen as an attractive, athletic and dynamic sport which is growing at a rate of over 20% per annum. Although the decision on inclusion of new sports rests exclusively with the IOC, he believed that the proposed 5-day programme consisting of the top 32 men and women players would fit comfortably into the schedule and add value to the Games. Susie Simcock commented: "The reception we received from Paris 2008 was the most positive and friendly we have encountered. Paris, Beijing and Toronto are all building up to the IOC decision on 15th July, but whichever is chosen we know that Squash can bring an extra dimension to the World's greatest sporting event."

Extractions: For over 1,000 years man has invented and enjoyed a variety of games played by hitting a ball with either a closed fist - as in fives or bunch of fingers - or with some form of bat or racket. Around the year 1148 the French played le Paume, meaning the palm of the hand, which developed into Jeu de Paume, Real Tennis, Royal Tennis or, if you play the sport, simply Tennis. At sometime in the early 19th century this obsession with rackets and balls spawned another variety of the sport in the unlikely birthplace of the Fleet Prison in London. The prisoners in The Fleet, mainly debtors, took their exercise by hitting a ball against walls, of which there were many, with rackets and so started the game of Rackets. Rackets progressed, by some strange route, to Harrow and other select English schools about 1820 and it was from this source that our own sport of Squash, or Squash Rackets, developed. Squash was invented in Harrow school around 1830, when the pupils discovered that a punctured Rackets ball, which "squashed" on impact with the wall, produced a game with a greater variety of shots and required much more effort on the part of the players, who could not simply wait for the ball to bounce back to them as with Rackets.

History of Racquetball- Racquetball is a fast game played on an enclosed indoor court, with a racquet and ball, popular in North America since the early 1970s. The game was developed in 1949 in the United States from a combination of squash and handball. The racquetball racquet is a shorter, lighter version of the one used in tennis. The lively, hollow rubber ball is about the size of a tennis ball. The rules are basically similar to handball rules, and versions exist for two players (as in singles), four players (as in doubles), and three players (as in cutthroat). The first side to score 15 points wins a game. In a match, two games are played. If each player or team wins one game, an 11-point tiebreaker is played to decide the winner of the match. The United States Racquetball Association, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is recognized by the United States Olympic Committee as the U.S. national governing body for the sport. Racquetball has it's roots from two other sports:squash and handball.

Women did not truly re-enter sports journalism in any numbers until the 1980s ushered in anti-discrimination legislation. In the late 1980s Government moves helped open the door for more women to participate. In 1984 the Commonwealth Sex Discrimination Act was passed followed by several state equal opportunity acts. It made it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the grounds of sex, marital status or pregnancy. Sporting clubs were forced to open an option of full membership to women.

The first recorded reference to "Squash", other than in Harrow school, appeared in 1890 in the English book "The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes" written by the Duke of Beaufort. Eustace Miles, a world champion at both Tennis and Rackets, wrote the first book on Squash in 1901; stating that the sport was enjoyed by thousands of players in various parts of the world. By that time there were courts in schools and universities in England and some also in private houses. The first professional Squash Championship was held in 1920 in England, when C.R. Read (Queens Club) beat A.W.B. Johnson (RAC Club).

When the first SEAP Games was held in Bangkok in 1959, only six countries participated, namely Laos, Malaysia, Burma (Myanmar), Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand. Luang Sukhumnaipradit, the then Vice President of the Thai Olympic Committee, had been trying to begin a SEAP Games since 1957. He believed that a regional sports event, similar to the Asian Games or the Olympic Games, will help promote cooperation, understanding and relations among countries in the region. His efforts were rewarded after two years. The name SEAP Games was used up to 1975. Thailand had by then been the host country three times. Later on Indonesia, the Philippines and Brunei joined the Games which was then renamed SEA Games at its 9th meet in Malaysia in 1977. The name has since been officially adopted and the Games has become the most important sports event of the region.
