It looks like they didn't pound it into you enough that it is THE 
Johns Hopkins University. They tried to give us the impression 
during freshman orientation that leaving off the 'The' was 
grounds for expulsion.  

I haven't seen much lacrosse in recent years but the rules 
were interpreted back in the 60s to say that as long as your 
stick hit the opposing players stick there was no foul. It didn't 
matter if 90% of the contact was stick to body (or stick to 
head) as long as there was that 10% stick to stick contact.
