”Thanks to Title IX”: Female athletes’ identifications and team sports in transition. $49.99 This dissertation addresses questions about the lived realities of women who play sports as women’s sports became more integrated into the complex of sports and media institutions. Through ethnographic interviews with twenty-one women (who graduated from college between 1968 and 2000) and analysis of cultural artifacts, the impact of passage and implementation of Title IX legislation emerged as an important moment that had implications for how women articulated their athletic experiences and their processes of identification, especially in and through college. The question explored is: What have been the lived implications of Title IX for women playing on sports teams? In order to articulate the complexities of women’s identifications and to pay attention to the cultural settings in which women were situated, the work is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of post-structural gender studies and cultural studies.;Historically, the “female athlete” has been considered a deviant figure— especially for women who played masculinized team sports. This project demonstrates how articulating an identity as a woman and an athlete has been changing since the passage of Title IX. The phrase “Title IX” has taken on cultural force as a narrative about the increased institutionalization and incorporation of women’s sports into the expanding global sports/media complex. As this has happened, women described ambivalent ways they were drawn into the sports/media complex as girls and into adult life. Women described being subject to changing kinds of surveillance from younger and younger ages. But they also complicated hegemonies of gender and sexual identifications articulated with and about athleticism, rewriting what it means to be a “female athlete.”;Women in the project resisted the performative of “female athlete.” They described the emergence of a new kind of (hetero) feminine athletic hegemony that is intimately bound with the incorporation of women’s and girls’ sports

Joe Louis . . . Billy Conn . . . WhirlawayAgainst the backdrop of a war that threatened to consume the world, these athletes transformed 1941 into one of the most thrilling years in sports history.In the summer of 1941, America paid attention to sports with an intensity that had never been seen before. World War II was raging in Europe and headlines grew worse by the day; even the most optimistic people began to accept the inevitability of the United States being drawn into the conflict. In sports pages and arenas at home, however, an athletic perfect storm provided unexpected—and uplifting—relief.

Fueled by a somber mania for sports—a desire for good news to drown out the bad—Americans by the millions fervently watched, listened, and read as Joe DiMaggio dazzled the country by hitting in a record-setting fifty-six consecutive games; Ted Williams powered through an unprecedented .406 season; Joe Louis and Billy Conn (the heavyweight and light-heavyweight champions) battled in unheard-of fashion for boxing’s ultimate championship; and the phenomenal (some say deranged) thoroughbred, Whirlaway, raced to three heart-stopping victories that won the coveted Triple Crown of horse racing. As Phil Rizzuto perfectly expressed, “You read the sports section a lot because you were afraid of what you’d see in other parts of the paper.”Gripping and nostalgic, 1941—The Greatest Year in Sports focuses on these four seminal events and brings to life the national excitement and remarkable achievement (many of these records still stand today), as well as the vibrant lives of the athletes who captivated the nation.

1941 Stanford Indians Football Team $48 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1941 Stanford Indians football team represented Stanford University in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) intercollegiate competition during the 1941 season. Second-year head coach Clark Shaughnessy led the team to a 6-3 record. Before the season, Stanford, which the year prior had finished 10-0, was considered a favorite for the national championship, but three conference losses put it out of contention for a return to the Rose Bowl. After the season, Shaughnessy left Stanford to take over as head coach at the University of Maryland. In March 1942, Shaughnessy turned down a head coaching offer from Yale University, but said he was considering the same job at another Eastern school with little football tradition. A short time later, he resigned to accept the job at Maryland. According to Sports Illustrated in 1977, Shaughnessy’s decision was based on his belief that Stanford would discontinue its football program during World War II.

Excerpt: The 2002 Commonwealth Games were held in Manchester, England from 25 July to 4 August 2002. The XVII Commonwealth Games was the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in England, eclipsing London’s 1948 Summer Olympics in numbers of teams and athletes participating. After the 1996 Manchester bombing, the Games formed the catalyst for the widespread regeneration and heavy development of Manchester, and bolstered its reputation as a European and Global City internationally. Rapid economic development and continued urban regeneration of the now thriving city continued after the Games and has helped cement its place as one of the main cities in the United Kingdom. Events were held across Greater Manchester. The opening and closing ceremonies, the athletic and the rugby sevens events were held at the City of Manchester Stadium, which was purpose built for the Games. Unusually for a large multi-sport event the second largest competition by number of countries and athletes participating the shooting events were held in the National Shooting Centre in Bisley, Surrey, some 200 miles (322 km) from the main focus of the Games in Manchester. Seventy-two nations competed in 14 individual sports and 3 team sports events. Countries that competedThere were the maximum of 17 sports included in the schedule for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. After experimenting with it on a smaller scale at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and dropping it at the 1998 Games, disabled competitions were held in swimming, athletics, bowl… More:

A Darkness Within $2.99 For Sully, the owner of an outdoor clothing company, it was supposed to be a simple backpacking trip with a potential client — even if the client was the beautiful sports celebrity, Laura. Sully needed her to endorse his new product line, and all was going well, until they emerged from the isolation of the Colorado back country. Neither Sully nor Laura could have anticipated the horror awaiting them at the darkened Ranger station. They were unaware that an evil virus grown in a lab for military research had been let loose. A virus that turns its victims into twisted, crazed, cannibalistic monsters that bear little resemblance to the people they once were. They find themselves fighting for their lives — and their sanity — in a world caught in the grip of an apocalyptic nightmare.From the white mountains of Colorado to the shimmering blue Great Lakes, Sully and Laura flee from the twisted and evil creatures in an attempt to find a safe haven. It will take all of their athletic and outdoor skills — as well as tons of luck — to survive in a landscape suddenly overrun by ravenous monsters with unnatural hungers. And, as if that weren’t enough, Sully thinks he might be falling in love…

A Hearing For Jim Thorpe $7.42 Who was Jim Thorpe? Did he really deceive the world in the 1912 Stockholm Summer Olympic Games? Was the evidence against him really strong enough to justify stripping away his legendary accomplishments and erasing his Olympic record? Author Michael Sheaffer tackles these and other thorny questions of ethics, honor, and sportsmanship in his new and thoroughly entertaining novel A Hearing for Jim Thorpe: An Exercise in Frustration. A sports reporter named Bud Murphy arrives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on a hot, dry July 1915, afternoon. He’s there to cover a special and unprecedented event; a hearing at the Cumberland County Courthouse regarding the case, details, and final disposition of Carlisle native son, Jim Thorpe. Thorpe was the hero of the 1912 Stockholm Summer Olympics where he won back-to-back Pentathlon and Decathlon gold. But, it all came crashing down when the Amateur Athletic Union presented evidence that Thorpe had competed in the games after having already played professional baseball before the start of the games. Dishonored, but still having popular support, Jim Thorpe was stripped of all his glory, medals, and reputation. Murphy witnesses the crowded courtroom as experts, witnesses, and history itself testify to the greatness and the infamy of Thorpe and the controversy that grew up around him. A Hearing for Jim Thorpe offers up a riveting tale of passion that celebrates the life of a true American sports hero and speculates on what could have been.Written with a touch of humor and told as an intimate and revealing narrative, A Hearing for Jim Thorpe: An Exercise in Frustration is a book that casts a bright light into a dark corner of sports history. Inthe spirit of great courtroom dramas like Inherit the Wind, author Sheaffer sets the record straight, while telling a masterful drama that is both bold and uplifting.

A Man of the Beatitudes: Pier Giorgio Frassati $12.95 A beguiling and moving biography of Pier Giorgio Frassati, a handsome, athletic and fun-loving young man from a rich, aristocratic Italian family in the 1920’s who was recently beatified by Pope John Paul II. Pier Giorgio turned from a life of privilege to one devoted to working with the poor, and was a courageous witness of Christian faith and charity to many others. Discouraged by his affluent parents from his religious involvement and deep spiritual life, Pier Giorgio secretly ministered to the poor and marginalized, and was a leader of youth whose love of God transformed the lives of all those around him. He died of the polio virus at the age of 24, and the story of his life and death spread throughout Europe, influencing the young Karol Wojtyla, who as Pope John Paul II described Frassati as “a man of the eight beatitudes, a modern youth and great mountaineer who was keenly interested in the problems of culture, sports and social questions, as well as the true values of life.” Pier Giorgio is a patron saint of World Youth Days. Illustrated.

A Pictorial History of the University of Iowa $29.95 The founders of the new state of Iowa in 1847 waited only fifty-nine days to charter a university. Eight years later the first classes were held in a rented building, still very much on the edge of the western frontier, surrounded by prairie and pastureland. It is difficult to imagine such a scene today compared to the University of Iowa’s contemporary setting, with its 26,000 students, its 250-plus buildings, huge medical complex, performing arts campus, and athletic facilities, all clustered around the grand centerpiece of the Old Capitol. First published in 1988, this gracefully written pictorial narrative deftly compresses the history of this distinguished institution into a readable and entertaining text enriched by an impressive selection of over 350 photographs gleaned from the university’s archives. Photos and text capture Iowa’s major research accomplishments—in space exploration, medical research, educational testing, and the ground-breaking advanced degree programs for creative work in all the arts—as well as the many great moments in Hawkeye sports. Also included is an account of the evolution of the institution itself, of the significant teachers and administrators who guided the university’s progress through world wars, periods of intense social upheaval, and the more tranquil years of strength and growth. With an all-new album of fifty color photos that both celebrate and define the last twenty years of the university’s history, the expanded paperback edition of this classic book is an enduring testament to the unique character of the University of Iowa, its strong commitment to education, research, and the creative arts, and its remarkable service to the state.
