It is controversially alleged that Dwight D. Eisenhower played semi-pro Baseball before attending West Point. The reason there is controversy is that he played on the football team at West Point, and collegiate athletes of the time were prohibited from receiving payment for anything related to athletics, including coaching. Although Eisenhower graduated West Point before the formal implementation of the strict honor code, the spirit of it already existed, and it is thought it might have been a code violation for Eisenhower to play amateur football at West Point after having been paid to play baseball.

What is spourt?

I am assuming you mean "sport." This refers to a physical activity that often involves competition. Some sports are played by teams, such as football or basketball, while others are played by individuals such as tennis or golf. Some sports are played for fun, by people who like that activity and treat it as a hobby; other sports are played by talented athletes who are paid for their skills. Sports that are played for money are often called "professional sports," while sports that are played just for enjoyment are sometimes called "amateur sports" or if they are played at a university, they may be called "collegiate sports."
