  • La Salle College High School Football: in Retrospect
    La Salle College High School Football: In Retrospect NOTE: This is the thirty-fourth in a series of retrospectives highlighting some unique history of the football program at La Salle. Please continue to provide me with suggestions for future topics. Hope you enjoy these. Bill Wasylenko, ‘69 Issue Number Thirty-Four: A Falcon Never Lets Go This is the story of the rich football rivalry between the La Salle Explorers and the North Catholic Falcons. In the early 1920’s, Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, Archbishop of Philadelphia, foresaw the need to expand the reach of the Archdiocese. He acquired many plots of land in the outer reaches of the city of Philadelphia, and beyond, into what we now know as the suburbs. His visionary plan allowed for many parishes and parish schools to be built on these plots of land years after their acquisition. But, in the field of secondary education, the needs were more pressing. With just two diocesan high schools for boys (Catholic High, West Catholic) located in the city of Philadelphia, it was time for another boys’ high school to be built to meet the growing demand for Catholic secondary education. The land for Northeast Catholic High School (“North” Catholic started to appear around 1937) was purchased from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and the school opened on September 7, 1926, to 277 freshmen and 172 sophomores. Eight Oblates and 5 other teachers formed the initial faculty. The first class at Northeast Catholic chose a Latin expression for its motto; the translation: “What I have, I will not lose”.

    Bud Weiser “King of Beers” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com “It was the first time many of the fans ever saw Bud Weiser in uniform. Lots of them have admired it in a glass many a time, however. - May 31, 1917, The Wilkes-Barre Record on Weiser making his Wilkes-Barre debut More than just The King of Beers, Harry Budson “Bud” Weiser is known as the “Ty Cobb of the North Carolina League,” when he comes up to the National League’s Philadelphia Phillies in 1915 straight from the Class D league in the Tar Heel State. Weiser will play a full season with the Phil- lies in 1915 and a partial one in 1916. In 74 big league at bats, Weiser hits only .162 with 12 hits, including three doubles with nine RBIs and two stolen bases. Nine times in his 12 minor league seasons, the right-handed hitting outfielder will hit over .300, including a career-high .339 as a 32-year-old with the Binghamton Triplets in 1923. He finishes his minor league career with 1,231 hits and .307 batting average. In 1916, he leads the Eastern League in steals, totaling a career-high 55 for the first-place New London Planters. Twice he will capture individual batting titles, first in the North Carolina League (.333) in as a 23-year-old 1914 and then the New York State League (.375) in 1917. On three occasions he will “jump” his contract leaving his teams in the lurch and his impressive minor league career is interrupted by stints in outlaw or semipro leagues.

  • Sports and the Rhetorical Construction of the Citizen-Consumer
    THE SPORTS MALL OF AMERICA: SPORTS AND THE RHETORICAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITIZEN-CONSUMER Cory Hillman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2012 Committee: Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor Dr. David Tobar Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Clayton Rosati Dr. Joshua Atkinson © 2010 Cory Hillman All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate from a rhetorical perspective how contemporary sports both reflect and influence a preferred definition of democracy that has been narrowly conflated with consumption in the cultural imaginary. I argue that the relationship between fans and sports has become mediated by rituals of consumption in order to affirm a particular identity, similar to the ways that citizenship in America has become defined by one’s ability to consume under conditions of neoliberal capitalism. In this study, I examine how new sports stadiums are architecturally designed to attract upper income fans through the mobilization of spectacle and surveillance-based strategies such as Fan Code of Conducts. I also investigate the “sports gaming culture” that addresses advertising in sports video games and fantasy sports participation that both reinforce the burgeoning commercialism of sports while normalizing capitalism’s worldview. I also explore the area of licensed merchandise which is often used to seduce fans into consuming the sports brand by speaking the terms of consumer capitalism often naturalized in fan’s expectations in their engagement with sports. Finally, I address potential strategies of resistance that rely on a reassessment of the value of sports in American culture, predicated upon restoring citizens’ faith in public institutions that would simultaneously reclaim control of the sporting landscape from commercial entities exploiting them for profit.

Barton Professor of Communications Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee _____________________________ ______________________ Suzanna DeBoef Associate Professor of Political Science _____________________________ ______________________ Patrick Parsons Associate Professor of Communications _____________________________ ______________________ Ronald A. Smith Professor Emeritus of Exercise and Sport Science iii Abstract Stadium construction has occurred at record-breaking level in major metropolitan areas of the United States in the last decade. This dissertation traces media coverage of stadium construction policy throughout the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, focusing specifically on newspaper coverage of this issue. The hypothesis that media practitioners in smaller metropolitan areas will be more likely to privilege voices supporting new stadium construction is examined. The case study method is utilized and content analysis is employed to determine media coverage trends in major American metropolitan areas. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are examined as small market cities, while Boston and New York are explored as larger market cities. Evidence is provided that larger markets adopt a more critical position than small market cities regarding new stadium construction in newspaper opinion content. Large market publications are similar to smaller market counterparts in providing greater opportunity for expression to pro-stadium voices.

ROBERT ROWAH ASCLEPI TEMPLE I SCHOOL OF ?*1 DEDICATION The Class of '32 reverently and affection­ ately dedicate this volume to our late be­ loved Dean, Dr. John R. Minehart, who would have celebrated his Silver Anniversary as Dean of Temple University College of Pharmacy, with the graduation of our class. His teachings and influences are things which we will carry with us during our entire lives, wherever we may be, and whatever branch of our profession we may choose to follow, be it Pharmacy or one of its related sciences. ??7J To the members of the Pharmacy Class of I932: My congratulations, my good wishes for a fine successful life. In this hurried age graduation loses much of its meaning. In the excitement, glamor and applause the diploma and degree seem a final goal. How far from the truth! How solemn is the fact that one may acquire knowledge, receive a degree, and remain uneducated. As you realize that graduation is the beginning of living, the key that opens the door to finer appreciation and richer experience. As you live, as you act, as you seek, in the days that follow—is your final test. Real education makes for the understanding of fellow-man. "He that hath small understanding hath small love." Go forth as on a sacred quest; seeking truth, loving knowledge and rendering service, remembering, "Little knowledge imparts pride to people, great knowledge imparts humility." DR.
