Download or read book A Team of Destiny written by Robert D. Arnold and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the mid 1960s, Indiana University had hired its sixth football coach since 1945. The Hoosiers reputation continued to erode. To the other Big Ten teams, the Hoosiers were patsies! And their new coach, John Pont, despite a good record at Yale and Miami (Ohio), had started his first two years at Indiana with a miserable two wins, sixteen losses and one tie. By the year 1967, Indiana had little thought of competing for the Big Ten Championship. It would be considered a successful campaign if Indiana had a .500 record and beat Purdue. What nobody expected was that Coach Pont and a determined group of veterans and sophomores would take the college football world by storm. With sophomores like quarterback Harry Gonso, running back John Isenbarger, pass catching whiz Jade Butcher, and a stout senior led defense Indiana would go undefeated in its first eight games before being surprised by Minnesota. Still, the Hoosiers went on to win their first Big Ten championship since 1945, beating Purdue to claim the Old Oaken Bucket, and play against the mighty Southern California Trojans in the Rose Bowl

Download or read book Hoosier Hitmen written by Pete DiPrimio and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly 140 years, Indiana University baseball has thrived on the unexpected. For instance: Coach Bob Morgan missed his Gatorade bath, but not his 1,000th career victory. Mike Smith rocked college pitching to win the first Triple Crown in NCAA Division I history. An ill-fated shower cost the Hoosiers a 1949 run at NCAA tourney success. Bob Lawrence made more with his 1958 pro baseball signing bonus ($50,000) than 1950s superstar slugger Ted Kluszewski ever made in a season ($40,000). Mike Crotty came to the plate looking like a middle aged man-until blasting future major league star Matt Anderson's first pitch off the scoreboard for IU's most memorable post-season home run. Bob Lawrence could have begun his head-coaching career with any patsy in the country; instead, he chose top-ranked Miami of Florida.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
Download or read book Mark Spitz written by Richard J Foster and published by Santa Monica Press. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Spitz is arguably the most famous and successful Olympic athlete of all time because of his legendary performances at the 1972 Olympics, where he won seven gold medals while breaking seven world records. His amazing life story is told for the first time in the authorized biography Mark Spitz: The Extraordinary Life of an Olympic Champion. This exclusive account follows Spitz’s roller-coaster career: age-group prodigy, four-medal "flop" at the 1968 Olympics, outstanding collegiate career at Indiana University, gold-medal haul in 1972, lucrative endorsements, and a brief and unsuccessful stint in entertainment. And the meatier stories—the role his father played in his career, his often stormy relationship with coaches and teammates, his experiences as a Jewish athlete with anti-Semitism and the Munich massacre, his impact on the commercialization of swimming, his relationship with Michael Phelps, and others—have been largely unknown, ignored, barely touched upon, or distorted. Mark Spitz: The Extraordinary Life of an Olympic Champion provides insights into Spitz’s career, behind-the-scenes anecdotes about him and his competitors, and untold stories that shed light on his complicated personality and relationship with his father. Old and new fans alike will appreciate the depth and details of this swimming icon’s story.
