13 Terms or expressions are listed. 3 sports are represented. Without researching (even though I know you will cheat) try to answer the the following three questions for each of the 13 questions. A few have multiple acceptable answers but most do not. One or more answers can be left blank and still be correct.
The first answer for each of the 13 is the decade of origin. 1920 would cover 1920-1929 and so forth.
The second answer for each of the 13 is to name the individual or individuals associated with the origin.
The third answer for each of the 13 is to locate the origin of the term, which can be a school, a city or a team.
8 out of the 13 are prewar in keeping with the guidelines for the forum.
39 correct answers are possible. Scoring will be lenient as some of the answers are debatable. Ample time will be provided for those who wish to take the whole test.
Correct answers to the questions will be posted at the rate of one per day. Preference will be given to correct answers from the board.
