1926ref. 164521926. Wills Helen. Time: The Weekly News-Magazine July 26 1926 cover issue featuring the American tennis champion during the year of her celebrated encounter with Suzanne Lenglen and her emergence as one of the most visible women athletes of the interwar period. Wills ultimately won 19 major singles titles including eight Wimbledon championships as well as Olympic gold medals in singles and doubles at Paris in 1924; her eight Wimbledon singles titles remained the women's record until Martina Navratilova surpassed it in 1990. The present cover therefore belongs to the period in which Wills was becoming not simply a successful competitor but a nationally recognizable female sports figure offering evidence of the expanding place of women athletes within American mass media and celebrity culture. Time: The Weekly News-Magazine. Vol. VIII No. 4. New York: Time Publishing Company July 26 1926. Complete issue; pagination and dimensions not supplied. Helen Wills appears prominently on the cover. Earlier that year on February 16 at Cannes she faced France's Suzanne Lenglen in their only singles meeting a contest so heavily publicized that Time compared its attention to that surrounding the Locarno conference. Lenglen won 6-3 8-6 but Wills's performance against the dominant French champion further established her international standing. The issue thus captures Wills at a pivotal point between her early American successes and the sustained dominance that began the following year when she won her first Wimbledon singles title. Wills's later career underscores the historical weight of this early cover appearance. She went on to dominate women's tennis through much of the late 1920s and 1930s and in 1933 she defeated Phil Neer then ranked eighth among American men in a San Francisco exhibition match an unusual mixed-sex contest four decades before the much-publicized Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs match of 1973. The 1926 Time cover therefore documents both the media construction of a female athletic celebrity and the broader cultural visibility of women's competitive sport during the interwar years. No specific defects are supplied; overall very good. A strong contemporary periodical source for the study of Helen Wills women in sport tennis history and the representation of female athletic achievement in American popular media. unknown

Marsh 1907 - 1982 a native New Yorker was among the fundamental figures in the growth of college basketball as a major sport. Marsh was assistant sports editor of the New York Herald Tribune. Marsh started at the paper as a copy boy while still a student at City College. By 1930 he was regularly covering college basketball then a sport confined to local rivalries in cramped campus gyms. An occasional "big game" found its way to an armory. Ned Irish introduced intersectional doubleheaders to Madison Square Garden in December 1934 and Marsh was quick to see the potential of the sport. He helped organize the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association that year and in 1938 was a leader in founding the N.I.T. which was originally sponsored by the writers group. Marsh was also attracted by college football partly because of the Herald Tribune's sponsorship of an All-Star game for the benefit of the Fresh Air Fund and partially because of his association with Columbia. He served three terms 1942-47 1951-53 and 1966-68 as Columbia's sports information director. Marsh along with Everett B. Morris of the Herald Tribune started the East-West College All-Star basketball game at Madison Square Garden in 1946. The annual event which ran until 1964 was also a benefit for the Fresh Air Fund. Marsh was not only active in the promotion of the Garden event but also in the assembling of the teams and maintaining the relationship with the N.C.A.A. and the colleges whose players appeared in the game. The All-Star game gave heightened visibility to college players and the schools they represented. Marsh was instrumental in developing the Eastern College Athletic Conference into a major factor in the organization of college sports. The E.C.A.C. began as the central office of Eastern Intercollegiate Athletics in 1938 primarily as a clearinghouse for the assignment of game officials. It later grew into an organization of over 100 colleges that conducted championships in several sports. Marsh founded the E.C.A.C. Service Bureau its publicity and statistical arm in 1947. The Herald Tribune closed in 1966 and Marsh worked for its ill-fated successor the World Journal Tribune until it closed May 5 1967. In July 1969 he became the full-time head of the E.C.A.C. Service Bureau in Manhattan. He retired in June 1973. Marsh and Edward Ehre founded and co-edited the hardcover book annual Best Sports Stories E.P. Dutton from 1945 to 1980 a book that helped elevate sportswriting and also recognized its quality.
