A History of Jews in Sports There is no evidence of sports among the Jews during the obscure period between the close of the Bible and the Maccabean periods. Jews were active in formulating sports programs in the Soviet Union during the 1920s, and after World War II they contributed to that nation's successful entry into international competition. The first Jewish sports clubs in the country, the Rishon le-Zion Club in Jaffa and the Bar Giora Club in Jerusalem, were established in 1906 by Leo Cohen and Aviezer Yellin, respectively, and shortly afterward the first qualified club leaders were appointed. www.jewishsports.com /jewsin/history/oldhistory.htm   (1721 words)

Women's Sports Foundation History Indeed, they initially popularized the newly created sports of basketball and volleyball, and it was the rapid spread of such sports, as well as field hockey, cycling, and tennis, that encouraged their teachers and recreation supervisors to form associations and write rules. However, many of the women who came to control sports for girls and adults, especially in institutions such as schools and colleges, had accepted the warnings of the medical profession that unfettered athletic competition would harm female participants, physically and psychologically, and detract from or even diminish their femininity. By 1920 school and college sports were often played not in contests between teams representing their institutions, but in play days or sport days, in which the convened teams were broken up and the players assigned to mixed school teams. www.womenssportsfoundation.org /cgi-bin/iowa/issues/history/article.html?record=769   (3482 words)

- NCAA Sports.com Women's soccer took root abroad as early as the 1920s in China and the 1930s in Europe, though women were banned from playing the sport for several years in England, Germany and the Netherlands. The bottom line is that schools realized that it was a relatively inexpensive sport to sponsor and that it was an emerging phenomenon, as evidenced by the U.S. national team's success in the 1990s. While some of his colleagues in the college world might dispute the merit of North Carolina's early domination of the sport, it is important to note that the Tar Heels' preeminence gave women's college soccer a name that non-soccer sports fans could remember. ncaasports.com /soccer/womens/story/6892630   (1949 words)

Overview - 1930's Sports The 1920s were called the golden age of sports.

Overview - 1910's Sports The second decade of the twentieth century is one of the most overlooked periods in the history of American sport. Overshadowed by the 1920s, the "Golden Age" of American sport, the 1910s saw many of the developments that laid the foundation for that fabulous decade, and if the sports of the 1910s had not been interrupted by World War I, the decade might have earned greater notoriety than did the 1920s. While tennis and track-and-field events remained wholly amateur sports and basketball and football continued to thrive on college campuses, professional basketball and football, though not organized to the extent they would be in the 1920s, gained greater acceptance in the cities. history.enotes.com /1910-sports-american-decades   (179 words)

Programs - Women in Sports More girls and women play sports than ever before in American history, with millions competing in youth leagues, high school, college, and at the professional level, where tennis, golf, soccer and basketball are surging in popularity.

Nicknamed after Babe Ruth for her prodigious feats, she excelled at numerous sports, including baseball, basketball, track and field, swimming, skating, and golf - she was a founder of the LPGA tour - despite limited opportunities for females in the 1930s and '40s. www.yogiberramuseum.org /prog_womeninsports.html   (1699 words)

Drug Use in Sports is Not Cheating Drugs were considered acceptable food for athletes before the 1920s, which happens to be the decade of alcohol prohibition in the United States.

UT Feature Story -- Testosterone Dreams: Professor studies complex intersection of sports, doping and public opinion At the same time that journalists, sports officials and some fans are raising a hue and cry over doping in sports and castigating professional athletes who are “cheaters,” several basic questions surrounding performance-enhancement drugs have yet to be answered. And then there’s the fact that, even though doping is known to be rampant in professional cycling, the crowds still gather and cheer along the side of the road during the Tour de France. With corruption so prevalent in sports federations, with the hypocrisy involved in requiring professional athletes to be ‘clean’ while others are allowed to take everything from Ritalin to human growth hormone, and with a shortage of reliable drug tests for athletes, I don’t see drug-free sport in our future. www.utexas.edu /features/archive/2004/sports.html   (1719 words)

Sportsman Pilot Magazine- About Our Name Magazines with "sportsman pilot" in their titles have been published since the late 1920s, but times and circumstances change, and magazines have to change with them. In the late 1920s a magazine called "Yachting and Sportsman Pilot" was created in New York City, and, as the name implies, was devoted mainly to the activities of wealthy Long Island yachtsmen and pilots who could afford to fly purely for pleasure rather than business. Mirroring the relatively small size of its clientele, the circulation of "Yachting and Sportsman Pilot" was quite small, and, as a result, those early issues are quite rare today. www.sportsmanpilot.com /AboutOurName.htm   (971 words)

University of Pittsburgh - The History of Women at Pitt - Women in Sports At least two factors influenced the change: the lingering theory that women might be too fragile for competitive games, and a movement to get more students involved in recreational sports.

Digital History But the 1920s primarily stand out as one of the most important periods in American cultural history because the decade produced a generation of artists, musicians, and writers who were among the most innovative and creative in the country's history. The first commercial radio station began broadcasting in 1919, and during the 1920s, the nation's airwaves were filled with musical variety shows and comedies. By the 1920s, the industry had relocated to Hollywood, drawn by its cheap land and labor, the varied scenery that was readily accessible, and a suitable climate ideal for year-round filming (some filmmakers moved to avoid lawsuits from individuals like Thomas Edison who owned patent rights over the filmmaking process). www.digitalhistory.uh.edu /database/article_display_printable.cfm?HHID=455   (1112 words)

boys' clothes in the 1920s The 1920s were a time of experimentation, as the suit silhouette turned to the natural-shoulder look, and the first sports jacket--the Norfolk, modeled after the hunting suit worn by the Duke of Norfolk in the early 18th century--was produced. The knitting fever of the war years carried over into civilian life of the 1920s but in soft yarns of lovely colors, in sweaters and caps. Availability of servants decreased in the 1920s as immigration was restricted and more women entered the work force. histclo.com /chron/c1920.html   (1923 words)
