    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. If 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.

  • I ´Due´ John B. Kelly
    La leggenda dei Kelly di Claudio Loreto z John Brendan Kelly, il “muratore” Lo statunitense John Brendan Kelly è stato il primo canottiere a collezionare tre medaglie d’oro olimpiche. Più che a tale primato, tuttavia, la sua fama – che andò decisamente al di là dell’ambito sportivo – è legata al mito americano del “self-made man”, da egli pienamente incarnato. Ultimo di dieci figli di emigrati irlandesi, John (detto anche Jack) nacque a Filadelfia il 4 ottobre 1889.1 Muratore, sviluppò una grande passione per lo sport; dopo qualche esperienza nel rugby, nella pallacanestro e nella pallanuoto, approdò al canottaggio, nel quale presto si affermò - per i colori del Vesper Boat Club di Filadelfia 2 - come il miglior “sculler” 3 degli Stati Uniti. La I Guerra Mondiale lo obbligò a sospendere la voga, arruolandolo nelle fila dell’esercito come soldato semplice. Durante la ferma in Francia Kelly prese parte - nella categoria “pesi massimi” - al torneo militare americano di pugilato, conseguendo dodici vittorie consecutive prima di essere bloccato da un infortunio. Il torneo sarebbe infine stato vinto da Gene Tunney, futuro campione del mondo professionista; in seguito Kelly avrebbe canzonato Tunney: “Non fosti fortunato, allorchè mi si ruppe una caviglia?”. Congedato al termine del conflitto con il grado di tenente, Kelly avviò a Filadelfia un’impresa edile che lo avrebbe poi reso miliardario; contemporaneamente riprese in mano i remi, ripristinando negli U.S.A. il proprio predominio nella specialità dello “skiff” 4. Nel 1920 avanzò richiesta di partecipazione alla “Diamond Sculls”, la prestigiosissima gara dei singolisti in seno alla “Henley Royal Regatta” (all’epoca la più importante manifestazione remiera annuale del mondo).
