Dise Show May Not Be Bigger Than 1968, but It Will Be Better, from the Industry's Point of View
The 1969 edition of the Professional Golfers' Association Merchan- dise Show may not be bigger than 1968, but it will be better, from the industry's point of view. For the first time ever, the show will be closed to the public! This will undoubtedly cut down on traffic jams despite the fact that it will be held in the 45,000 square foot "big tent" again (150 feet by 300 feet). Also, although the number of booths will remain just about the same, 228 in '68, 226 this year, the number of companies and exhibitors are expected to increase. The Palm Beach Gardens show had 150 companies representing 875 exhibitors last year and at press time approximately 120 companies were already in the fold. Since this is a buying and ordering show only, the absence of the public and the expected increase of manufacturers displaying product lines (along with the current leisure time industry boom), should combine to make this one of the biggest dollar volume business meetings in recent times. A major part of last year's success reportedly was due to the stampede of alumi- num shaft orders. A PGA spokesman said a report also showed that some apparel sales were up 200 to 400 per cent and that a shoe manufacturer revealed a 30 per cent increase. The PGA is hoping that the closing of the show to the public will also enable it to take a count of the number of new products being shown—something that has never been tabulated. GOLFDOM, on the other hand, has been able to obtain an advance list of many of the expected show products and they follow. -

The Flying Finn’s American Sojourn: Hannes Kolehmainen in the United States, 1912-1921. International Journal of the History of Sport, 29(7), 1035-1059. doi: 10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in International Journal of the History of Sport on 15 May 2012, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 Made available courtesy of Taylor & Francis: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 ***© Taylor & Francis. Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Taylor & Francis. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Shortly after he won three gold medals and one silver medal in distance running events at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Finland's Hannes Kolehmainen immigrated to the United States. He spent nearly a decade living in Brooklyn, plying his trade as a mason and dominating the amateur endurance running circuit in his adopted homeland. He became a naturalised US citizen in 1921 but returned to Finland shortly thereafter. During his American sojourn, the US press depicted him simultaneously as an exotic foreign athlete and as an immigrant shaped by his new environment into a symbol of successful assimilation. Kolehmainen's career raised questions about sport and national identity – both Finnish and American – about the complexities of immigration during the floodtide of European migration to the US, and about native and adopted cultures in shaping the habits of success. -

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.
