  • SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13
    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days. To give the full picture, both competitions are analyzed here. SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13 OT - 100 Meters - September 12, 16.15 Hr 1. 5.

Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.

  • The Tennessee State Tigerbelles
    4 The Tennessee State Tigerbelles Cold Warriors of the Track Carroll Van West In the lore of Tennessee sports history, few names are more evocative and lionized than the Tennessee State Tigerbelles, a group of women sprinters who dominated track and field events in the nation and world from the mid-1950s to mid-1980s.1 Scholarly interest in the impact of the Tigerbelles has multiplied in the twenty-first century, with dissertations and books addressing how these women track and field stars shaped mid-twentieth-century images of African American women, women involved in sports in general, and issues of civil rights and international affairs.2 The story of the Tigerbelles and their significance to American sport and cul- ture must center on the great talent and dedication to excellence of these young women. But as media coverage of their athletic exploits intensified from the early 1950s to the 1960s, the Tigerbelles were swept up in American preoccupation with the role of women in contemporary sport, the impact of race in American sport, and the role that amateur athletes could play as pawns in the propaganda postur- ings of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Track and field at Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State College (renamed in 1968 as Tennessee State University) began in the aftermath of Jessie Owens’s success at the 1936 Olympics. The college’s first women’s track team formed in 1943 under the direction of Jessie Abbott, succeeded by Lula Bartley in 1945. Abbott brought with him a commitment to excellence gained at Tuskegee Institute, home to the first nationally dominant African American track and field program.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. Yi necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women's Athletics
    “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 By Amira Rose Davis A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2016 © 2016 Amira Rose Davis All Rights Reserved Abstract “Watch What We Do”: The Politics and Possibilities of Black Women’s Athletics, 1910-1970 analyzes the ideological and institutional development of amateur and professional sports for black women in the United States before the passage of Title IX and during the Age of Jim Crow. It locates black women’s athletic history between silence and symbol, forgetting and remembrance. In considering the development of black women’s athletics and the symbolic black woman athlete, this project moves to reexamine our understanding of black women’s movement and mobility by considering the work that black women’s athletic bodies did for institution-building and international, national, and local statecraft. By focusing on black women in motion, this dissertation uses middle-class black institutions – like colleges and sports teams – to write a new history of black women’s labor. By tracing the long history of black women’s athletic participation, this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which gendered power dynamics, particularly intra-racial ones, mediated black Americans’ engagement with athletics and physical culture. While highlighting women who used athletics to gain social mobility or assert new notions of modern and respectable black womanhood, this project also examines black institutions, sporting organizations and state apparatuses that routinely used black women’s athletic bodies to advance their respective social, political and financial interests.
