Millard T. Lang (August 7, 1912 – August 4, 2002) was an American
Youth and college
Lang began playing soccer for a team in the Baltimore Police Athletic League when he was thirteen. Lang attended high school at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute where he had an exceptional athletic record. He lettered in five sports: soccer, lacrosse, basketball, football and tennis. He also ran track. He was captain of his school's soccer team, which won two city prep championships under his leadership. After graduating from high school in 1930, he entered Johns Hopkins University playing football and lacrosse. He was a four-time lacrosse All American, three times as First Team. Each of these awards was for a separate position, third defense, second attack and out home, showing Lang's breadth of ability in that sport. From 1932 to 1934, Johns Hopkins ran to three undefeated seasons and three consecutive national championships. In 1932, the Johns Hopkins lacrosse team was selected to represent the United States at the 1932 Summer Olympics. Lacrosse was an exhibition sport at those games, and the U.S. defeated Canada in two games of the three games played.
