1917rif. 168341917. Unidentified compiler. Photograph album 1917-1920 documents high school life and World War I-era military activity in the United States capturing both educational environments and wartime training as experienced within local communities. The album provides primary visual evidence of student athletics teacher involvement and organized military exercises during the First World War supporting research into youth culture physical education and civilian engagement with wartime preparedness. The inclusion of both school-based and military imagery situates the material within the broader mobilization of American society during the war years. Unidentified compiler. Photograph album. 1917-1920. Album containing 112 silver gelatin photographs with an additional 50 loose images taken in locations including San Jacinto California and Charleston South Carolina. The photographs depict a range of subjects including high school environments where groups of students stand assembled outside a brick school building labeled "High School" and organized athletic teams including a basketball team posed with a "DHS" banner and a player holding a ball marked "DHS." Individual athletic activity is represented through images such as a hurdler mid-jump. Military content includes labeled scenes from 1917 showing "Battery A some Marines and Infantry" as well as an image of a blimp or Zeppelin in flight indicating contemporary military technology. A portrait of a young man in uniform posed with older adults in front of a fence suggests familial connections to military service. Additional photographs document everyday life and leisure including fishing scenes early automobiles such as Model T vehicles a woman cycling a child playing violin and a woman in a canoe. Informal captions provide commentary ranging from observational "Jumping for what the robins left" to humorous "Who are you smiling at" reflecting the compiler's personal engagement with the images. The album emerges from the period of American participation in World War I when military training and patriotic activity intersected with civilian institutions such as schools. Physical education and organized athletics were increasingly emphasized within secondary education often linked to ideals of discipline and preparedness. The geographic spread between California and South Carolina suggests mobility or travel possibly connected to professional or military contexts. Album of 44 pages with first 28 pages detached; photographs range in size from approximately 1.75 x 2.5 inches to 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Edge wear and small chips to detached leaves; overall good condition. A substantial visual record of high school life and wartime culture in the United States during the late 1910s. 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.

No creases. No bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are fresh crisp and unmarked. Recounts van Breda Kolff's basketball playing career with the New York Knicks and his coaching career in high school college Lafayette Hofstra Princeton and professional basketball Los Angeles Lakers Detroit Pistons and New Orleans Jazz. Includes details of his relationships with Wilt Chamberlain Elgin Baylor Jerry West etc. Illustrated with numerous b/w photographs. Bound in the original red leatherette lettered in shiny gold on the spine and front cover. From the Dust Jacket: "The arrival of 'Wilt the Stilt' Chamberlain in Los Angeles created one large 7 foot headache for Coach Butch van Breda Kolff. Whereas Elgin Baylor and Jerry West both legendary superstars responded positively to Butch's 'hands on' coaching policies Wilt resisted the advice and instructions of his new coach. Although the Lakers advanced to the finals of the NBA for the 1968-1969 season Butch recognized the conflict with Wilt and dealt with it as best he could. But in the NBA play-off game with the series tied at 3-3 and the Lakers playing poorly Wilt took himself from the game claiming an injured leg. Butch replaced Stilt with Mel Counts and the Lakers closed the deficit to one point. When Wilt wanted to reenter the game VBK denied him entry and told him to 'sit down.' The Lakers subsequently lost 108-106 Butch was the scapegoat and his career as Coach of the Lakers was over. Subsequently he took on the Detroit Pistons and the New Orleans Jazz as potential turn-around situations. He instantly improved the records of both franchises but confrontations with club-owners who seemed forever critical of his life-style eventually led him away from the NBA. He returned briefly to coached at the College level where he led the University of New Orleans to a Sun Belt conference title. Then he coached the New Orleans Pride a woman's professional team.".

Many experts think she would earned several additional Olympic medals if the 1940 and 1944 Games had not been cancelled due to WWII. While in high school she won the AAU nationals in the high jump and 50-meter dash. In college she dominated track and field collecting a host of national titles -- championships in the 50-meter dash the 100-meter dash and the 400-meter relay. Her ten consecutive AAU titles in the high jump 1938 - 1948 are still a record. Coachman also won three championships as a star player for the Tuskegee women's basketball team. She was named to five All-American teams. At the 1996 Atlanta Games she was honored as one of the 100 greatest athletes in Olympic history.
