Dettagli Soggetti Altre Ed. Annotazioni
Attempts to present John W. Heisman as both man and football coach, and to examine how an indigenous American public ritual, the Big Game, came about. Heisman made many innovative contributions to intercollegiate football, in a time of significant political, economic and social developments.
John W. Heisman (1869-1936) was a man of many faces whose public image has suffered from a diffused, enigmatic, and mostly misunderstood private personality. Since his death the popular reception of the memorial trophy named in his honour has also obscured his identity. In singling out his many innovative contributions to the development of intercollegiate football, this book attempts to present a picture of Heisman as both man and coach. Because he coached at schools throughout the country during some of the most eventful years in our history, Heisman's life relates to significant political, economic, and social developments that impacted on American society as well as sports. However, this book aims to be more than the story of how an indigenous American public ritual, the Big Game, came about and how college football evolved into the complex, problematic, and highly structured big business that it is today.
