    UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS Norman, Oklahoma 2014 DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ____________________________ Dr. Stephen H.

Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

    An Ethnographic Exploration of Coach-Player Relations in A

    SURVIVING THE GRIDIRON: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC EXPLORATION OF COACH-PLAYER RELATIONS IN A TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PROGRAM A Dissertation by JORDAN ANTHONEY DANIEL Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, John Dunlap Co-Chair of Committee, Kyle Woosnam Committee Members, David Scott Michael Edwards Jennifer Williams Head of Department, Gary Ellis December 2013 Major Subject: Recreation, Park, and Tourism Sciences Copyright 2013 Jordan Anthoney Daniel ABSTRACT Using positive youth development theory, this ethnographic study explores the idioculture of a Texas high school football team with particular insights into the intentionality of the coach’s language with players. It yielded descriptions of certain behaviors, practices, and idioms that constitute the football program’s idioculture and allow for exploration of a youth sport context that promotes positive youth development. Additional exploration developed the ways in which players on a Texas high school football team perceive the coach/player relationship relative to the coaching staff’s efforts to motivate their players. Further exploration of these interpretations describe certain practices, artifacts and behaviors of coaches and players. In doing so, the themes of coach/player interactions, motivational techniques, and the community context are investigated to permit the better understanding of how coaches’ actions contribute to players’ experiences and their interpretation. Players reported that “new school” coaches who actively sought to motivate and engage players were better equipped to form more meaningful mentoring relationships with the players. This is opposed to “old school” coaches, who were viewed by the players to be less supportive and, at times, very distant to what the players wanted.
