  • Glenn Killinger, Service Football, and the Birth

Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

I. INTRODUCTION 1. Mixed martial arts is one of the fastest growing spectator sports in the United States. Mixed martial arts involves bouts between highly trained athletes skilled in various martial and combat arts, including karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, judo, Muay Thai, and freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. Mixed martial arts matches promoted by the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (“UFC”), the world’s largest professional mixed martial arts promoter, regularly fill the nation’s—and indeed, the world’s—largest arenas. The viewership of mixed martial arts on network and pay-per-view (“PPV”) television now far outstrips that of professional boxing and wrestling.

  • The Guru of Toughness Rotella, Carlo
    The guru of toughness Rotella, Carlo . Boston Globe ; Boston, Mass. [Boston, Mass]19 July 2010: A.11. ProQuest document link ABSTRACT There's no shame in losing, especially when inexperience and poor conditioning are to blame (Pudzianowski also claimed to have hurt his ankle early in the fight), but Dominator submitted so abjectly that even the chanting fanatics wrapped in Polish flags at ringside might well have given up on him. The state's efforts to attract film production, especially the film tax credit, have enabled a string of movies - "Mystic River," "The Departed," "Gone Baby Gone," "Edge of Darkness," and, next up, "The Fighter" and Ben Affleck's "The Town" - that glorify white-ethnic (usually Irish) styles of toughness associated with working-class neighborhoods in places like Boston and Lowell. FULL TEXT WHAT IS IT about "Irish" Micky Ward, the retired light-welterweight boxer from Lowell, that draws men to him in the hope that some of his old-school tough-guy virtue will rub off on them? It's not because they all want to learn the secret of his left hook to the body, and it's not because he's so charming or clever or in such fabulous shape. It's certainly not because he won all the time. He never held a major title, his career record was 38-13, and he lost two of his three most famous bouts, a trilogy of brawls with Arturo Gatti in 2002 and 2003 that looked like Popeye cartoons, only more eventful. But the wars with Gatti raised Ward, who never gave up his day job on a paving crew, to the status of a regular-guy icon who is respected, even revered, throughout the fight world and beyond.
