"Vive Carpentier! ' came from a mighty chorus of voices. Paris was still in an ecstasy of enthusiasm; my contest against Joe Beckett, so swift, sensational, dramatic, incredible, remained the wonder of the moment, and as I looked from my window on to the street below I shook and shivered. My father, a man of Northern France hard, stern, unemotional clutched the hand of my mother, whose eyes were streaming wet. Albert, also my two other brothers arid sister made a strange group. They were transfixed. Francois Descamps was pale; his ferret-like eyes blinked meaninglessly. Only my dog, Flip, now I come to think of it all understood for he gave himself over to howls of happiness. This day of unbounded joy so burnt itself into my mind that I shall remember it for all time. "Georges, mon ami," exclaimed my father, " no such moment did I ever think would come into our lives." And I understood. My life, as I look back upon it, has been a round of wonders.

Korstad, Supervisor ___________________________ Adriane Lentz-Smith ___________________________ Dirk Bönker ___________________________ Thavolia Glymph ___________________________ Matthew Lassiter An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2015 i v Copyright by Michael Stauch, Jr. 2015 Abstract This dissertation is a history of the city of Detroit in the 1970s. Using archives official and unofficial - oral histories and archived document collections, self-published memoirs and legal documents, personal papers and the newspapers of the radical press – it portrays a city in flux. It was in the 1970s that the urban crisis in the cities of the United States crested. Detroit, as had been the case throughout the twentieth century, was at the forefront of these changes. This dissertation demonstrates the local social, political, economic and legislative circumstances that contributed to the dramatic increase in prison populations since the 1970s. In the streets, unemployed African American youth organized themselves to counteract the contracted social distribution allocated to them under rapidly changing economic circumstances.

  • A Thumbnail Sketch of the Development of Boxing Strategies, Styles and Techniques During the Gloved Era to Present – 2004 by Michael Hunnicut
    A Thumbnail Sketch of the Development of Boxing Strategies, Styles and Techniques During the Gloved Era to Present – 2004 By Michael Hunnicut Throughout the history of gloved boxing styles, techniques and strategies have changed to varying degrees. Ring conditions, promoter demands, teaching techniques, and the influence of successful boxers are some of the reasons styles and strategies have fluctuated. One reason why research in this area is complex is because boxing itself is a complex endeavor where no person is psychologically, mentally, or physiologically exact. No era had strange holds on particular styles of boxing. Prevailing techniques of one era overlap into prevailing styles of another as well as coming full circle around. Stylistic exceptions to an era’s prevailing style have always existed, sometimes to a marked degree. A second reason why research is hindered is due to the comparative lack of film footage prior to the 1920’s. Here existing films as well teaching guides and other written material will be applied, but it will not be nearly as complete as later era observations. I will give a brief overview of a particular era and give some examples of an era’s particular strategy as well as exceptions. From the beginning of the gloved era to the late 1910’s one of the most prevalent stances from the welterweight division on up was the stand up British style of boxing held over from the bareknuckle era. Boxers tended to stand erect, hands held low at long distance, often but not always, brought up higher as range shifted, weight often but certainly not always, more on the rear leg.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information I
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information i The Cambridge Companion to Boxing While humans have used their hands to engage in combat since the dawn of man, boxing originated in ancient Greece as an Olympic event. It is one of the most popular, controversial, and misunderstood sports in the world. For its advocates, it is a heroic expression of unfettered individualism. For its critics, it is a depraved and ruthless physical and commercial exploitation of mostly poor young men. This Companion offers engaging and informative chapters about the social impact and historical importance of the sport of boxing. It includes a comprehensive chronology of the sport, listing all the important events and per- sonalities. Chapters examine topics such as women in boxing, boxing and the rise of television, boxing in Africa, boxing and literature, and boxing and Hollywood fi lms. A unique book for scholars and fans alike, this Companion explores the sport from its inception in ancient Greece to the death of its most celebrated fi gure, Muhammad Ali. Gerald Early is Professor of English and African American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. He has written about boxing since the early 1980s. His book, The Culture of Bruising , won the 1994 National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism. He also edited The Muhammad Ali Reader and Body Language: Writers on Sports . His essays have appeared several times in the Best American Essays series. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information ii © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05801-9 — The Cambridge Companion to Boxing Edited by Gerald Early Frontmatter More Information iii THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO BOXING EDITED BY GERALD EARLY Washington University, St.

McFarland and Welsh Fight Draw Both Men In Fine Form And They Strove Valiantly Los Angeles July 5, 1908 In as fast a bout as ever witnessed in tills city, Packy McFarland, of Chicago, and Freddie Welsh, .of England, went twenty five rounds to draw. After McFarland had assumed an apparently commanding lead in the early stages, and after Welsh had seemed to be on the verge of a knock-out toward the middle of bout, the Briton’s strength came back and, although bleeding freely, he managed to stand oft McFarland long enough to get a tied verdict. Jim Jeffries, florid and ponderous, served as referee, and his weight enabled him to break the little fellows as they struggled about the ring. A sudden flash of speed by Welsh toward the end, when McFarland was clearly tiring, evidently led to the draw verdict and, amid mingled applause and hooting, Jeffries held aloft the hands of both men as the gong sounded for the final round.Welsh's ability to come back after punishment caused surprise, and McFarland's punches, while stinging and sharp, did not seem to have the knockout force behind them .
