Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction I compiled the information in this book to explain why the Heisman Memorial Trophy Award was created. This book is a must for football fans. I also added The Life of Jim Thorpe, who reportedly began his Athletic career at Carlisle in 1907 when he walked past the track and beat all the school's High Jumpers with an impromptu 5-ft 9-in Jump still in Street clothes. His earliest recorded Track and Field results come from 1907. He also competed in football, baseball, lacrosse and even ballroom dancing, winning the 1912 Intercollegiate Ballroom Dancing Championship. The Heisman Trophy is Awarded annually to the player deemed the most outstanding player in Collegiate football. It was created in 1935 as the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy and renamed in 1936 following the death of the Club's Athletic Director, John Heisman (former Brown University and University of Pennsylvania player; head football Coach at Oberlin College, Auburn University, Clemson University, Rice University, and the University of Pennsylvania; and football, basketball, and baseball head Coach and Athletic Director at Georgia Tech). The Award is presented by the Heisman Trophy Trust in early December before the postseason Bowl Games. It is the oldest of several overall Awards in college football, including the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, and the AP Player of the Year. The Heisman and the AP Player of the Year are the only Awards to honor the most outstanding player, while the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award recognize the best player, and the Archie Griffin Award recognizes the most valuable player. All football players in all divisions of college football are eligible for the Award, though winners usually represent Division I Football Bowl Subdivision schools. There are three categories of persons eligible to vote for the Award winner: Sports Journalists Previous Heisman winners Fans the survey collected by ESPN.com constitutes one Heisman vote.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of Jay Berwanger (1914-2002), heralded as one of the greatest football players of the first half of the 20th Century. The modest son of an Iowa blacksmith, Berwanger starred at the University of Chicago (1933-35), then a member of the Big Ten Conference. He earned All-American honors in 1934 and 1935, including the captaincy of a 1934 All-American Team. In 1935, he received the first Heisman Trophy. Berwanger was the first player selected in the first-ever draft of the National Football League. However, he passed up the NFL and took a job in Chicago, where he eventually became a business owner and millionaire. His post-athletic years included stints as a sportswriter, coach, referee, and military pilot trainer. As the significance of the Heisman Trophy increased over time, so did Berwanger's standing as the first Heisman recipient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heisman Trophy winners Glenn Davis and Felix Blanchard—renowned during their playing days at West Point as "Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside"—were the best-known college football players in the country between 1944 and 1946, and Army was the nation's top-ranked team under legendary coach Red Blaik. Acclaimed author Jack Cavanaugh takes readers through the Black Knights' three consecutive National Championship seasons, including the 1946 "Game of the Century" between Army and Notre Dame, the only college game to date to have included four Heisman Trophy winners. Cavanaugh also examines the impact the war had on Army's success—because its players were already considered to be in the military and thus deferred from active duty while students at West Point, Army featured many outstanding high school and prep school players in those years. A unique look at the changes that took place in sports and almost every aspect of American life in the wake of World War II, this book a must-read for fans of college football and military buffs in addition to Army fans.

Book excerpt: "A Hero Perished" tells Nile Kinnick's story. This grandson of an Iowa governor, the son of parents who disciplined him to strive for his measure of greatness, became a Heisman Trophy winner and national celebrity through a combination of talent and circumstance. Following his college successes, Kinnick began legal study to prepare for a political career, but with the approach of war he entered the Navy Air Corps to refashion himself as a fighter pilot. Assigned to the carrier USS "Lexington" on its premier cruise, he took off in a defective planeOCoand his death shocked a nation grown almost used to tragic loss. For the first time, Kinnick tells his own tale through his engaging lettersOCoall but one previously unpublishedOCoand his diary, printed in its entirety for the first time. The result is a human, intimate look at the true person behind the myth, revealing both his foibles and his essential principles. "A Hero Perished" also includes a definitive text of Kinnick's moving Heisman Award acceptance speech and his impassioned commencement supper address, calling on the new Iowa graduates to achieve moral courage in a time of depression and war. An illuminating comment on a time and attitude that have passed, "A Hero Perished" is of and about a football player, but it is not a football bookOCoit is far more. This volume displays KinnickOCowho was, despite his great gifts and achievements, a vulnerable and decent young manOCoin a time of great change and peril when a phase of our culture was passing away."

Book excerpt: Close your eyes and picture the Heisman Trophy. The form is easy to conjure, a graceful, fluid pose that is football past and football present in one dignified figure ... The story of the Heisman Trophy is an american epic. -- from the Preface No sport in America can match the pageantry, raw emotion, and thrilling tradition of college football. It is a world in which a twenty-year-old kid can become a national sensation overnight, in which coaches are deified and rivalries burn white-hot. And in this world, there is no individual award so revered as the Heisman Trophy. Every yearsince 1935, one player has run, thrown, or kicked his way into the pantheon of American sport. From Nile "The Cornbelt Comet" Kinnick in the '30s, West Point's legendary backfield of Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis in the '40s, and Paul Hornung in the '50s to Ernie Davis, the Jackie Robinson of college football, miracle worker Doug Flutie, and modern-day Sunday warrior Eddie George, the history of the Heisman gives us insight into the heart of America through the lives of the heroes that entranced an entire nation for one brilliant season. Extraordinary in ways that transcend athletic ability, Heisman winners have gone on to become war heroes, Fortune 500 CEOs, and high-level politicians. As John Heisman himself once said, the Heisman Trophy "is meant to exemplify the grandeur of a thousand men." Here within these pages are intimate portraits of some of the winners who also exemplify the grit and glory of America's beloved game and of the coaching giants such as Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, and Red Blaik, who inspired the winners to achieve.Told in the evocative words of Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist Bill Pennington, their heart-stopping experiences on the field and off will have Americans enthralled until the final page is turned.

Book excerpt: Billy Cannon’s name, his image, and his remarkable athletic career serve as emblems for Louisiana State University, the Southeastern Conference, and college football. LSU’s only Heisman Trophy winner, Cannon led the Tigers to a national championship in 1958, igniting a love of the game in Louisiana and establishing a tradition of greatness at LSU. But like many stories of lionized athletes who rise to the status of legend, there was a fall—and in the case of Billy Cannon, also redemption. For the first time, Charles N. deGravelles reveals in full the thrilling highs and unexpected lows of Cannon’s life, in Billy Cannon: A Long, Long Run. Through conversations with Cannon, deGravelles follows the athlete-turned-reformer from his boyhood in a working-class Baton Rouge neighborhood to his sudden rush of fame as the leading high school running back in the country. Personal and previously unpublished stories about Cannon’s glory days at LSU and his stellar but controversial career in the pros, as well as details of his indictment for counterfeiting and his post-release work as staff dentist at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, unfold in a riveting biography characterized by uncanny success, deep internal struggles, and a champion’s spirit that pushed through it all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baby Boom generation (those born between 1946-1965) are starting to reach three quarters of a century in age. Their youth came after the Great Depression and World War II; and Americans were longing for fun activities that sports provided. Baby Boomers grew up just as television was being welcomed into average households. The youth of this generation were the first to see sports events live on TV rather than listening to them on radio or reading about them in newspapers. This new visual medium enabled this generation to react together immediately to the same athletic competition. This autobiography presents a nostalgic look at the author’s reactions to the sports events that many of his readers also witnessed. This work is also a history book whose stories detail events in a personal, readable, enjoyable way. Baby boomers and sports fans in general will have fun exploring such enticing chapters such as: How the author’s uncle became a pro wrestler to pay his way through law school. Meeting a boyhood sports idol 40 years later. Two grandsons ride in a pace car with their Papa. Meeting the only major league ambidextrous pitcher. The first T-ball game played on “artificial turf”! Author plays international basketball game in Senegal. Author beats future Supreme Court justice in basketball! Larry Bird ruins local TV sports broadcast! Author participates in prison basketball game. Running with the “Vaulting Vicar”, Bob Richards! Author’s wife meets Michael Jordon....almost! The Detective Wrestling Dentist! Golfing on the Moon! Vietnam and a remembered fallen teammate. Patrice meets Kentucky Derby winner Go for Gin. The most comfortable pole vault landing pit ever! Author Spinner was prompted to write his book after reading this quote from Toni Morrison: “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
