AP MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - The weather was perfect for football. American football, that is. Maybe that's why the Americans were able to make history. On a chilly, rainy evening that felt nothing like a Summer Olympics, the U.S. men's team advanced out of the first round of an Olympic soccer tournament for the first time, beating Kuwait 3-1 Tuesday. Danny Califf scored in the 40th minute, Chris Albright in the 63rd and Landon Donovan in the 89th as the Americans dominated their Middle East opponents, who no doubt were more used to sand and hot sun than the slippery, bone-chilling conditions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Substitute Bader Najem scored for Kuwait in the 83rd.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History THORPE, JIM , Olympic and professional athlete. Born in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), Thorpe was the son of a farmer of Irish and Sac and Fox Indian descent; his mother was part French and part Potawatomi Indian. The tribal name given him at birth was Wa-tho-huck, which meant Bright Path. In 1904, he was sent to the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. Glenn S. "Pop" Warner, the legendary coach at Carlisle, "discovered" Thorpe in 1907 when he saw him high-jump six feet in street clothing. Thorpe became a star on the Carlisle track team and in 1908, a promising substitute on the football team. Thorpe left Carlisle in 1909 to play baseball for two seasons in the newly formed East Carolina minor league. Unlike other "amateur" athletes who played in the league under aliases, Thorpe used his own name. After returning to Carlisle in 1911, he led the football team to an 11-1 record and was named to Walter Camp's All-American team. Thorpe's most notable achievement came at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm where he won two gold medals. He took four of the five track events in the Pentathlon and scored an astounding 8,412 points in winning the Decathlon, a score that was unsurpassed for fifteen years. King Gustav V of Sweden said to him, "Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world." Thorpe replied, "Thanks, King."

71. The History Of English Football The history Of English football. The game of Association football undoubtedly In 1900 football was included as an olympic sport for the first time, http://www.the-english-football-archive.com/football_history.htm

The History Of English Football. The game of 'Association Football' undoubtedly originates in England. However the earliest records of man kicking something resembling a ball date back to the Chinese Han Dynasty, 2000 years ago. There are records of the ancient Greeks and Romans developing the pastime known as ‘Harpastum’, a curious mixture of association and rugby football. The Romans introduced this to Britain in the time of Julius Caesar. It was during the Middle Ages that the game took hold of the public with annual Shrovetide matches being played between neighbouring villages with teams of unlimited numbers. The ball was usually a pig’s bladder although on one infamous occasion in Chester the head of a dead Viking was used to celebrate a recent victory over the invaders. In the late 13 th century and early 14 th century street matches were so popular in London that traders called on King Edward ll to outlaw the game in the city. Thus on 13 th April 1314 the first ever football ban came into force. The ban proved quite ineffective despite the threat of prison. Kings Edward lll, Richard ll, Henry lV and James lll made subsequent attempts at bans, all with similar effectiveness. The only ban with any level of effectiveness was that imposed by Oliver Cromwell, the game briefly disappeared but reappeared with even greater popularity following the Restoration in 1660. The popularity of the game continued to soar in Elizabethan times ( picture left ) , the

Staffer shows his Olympic glory from the past Elizabeth Grimsley News Reporter The 2000 Summer Olympics are well under way and the world watches the finest amateur athletes from across the globe compete for the gold medal and Olympic glory in Sydney, Australia. However, for George Woods, an academic adviser at SIUE, watching the games brings back memories of his own days as an Olympic athlete. "To watch rekindles some of that old fire," Woods said. "I would love to be out there competing again. You can hardly watch the Olympic Games and not wish you were back out there." Woods first attended the Olympic Games in Mexico City in 1968 where he received the silver medal as a shot-putter. He also received the silver in the 1972 games in Munich, Germany, and attended the 1976 Games in Montreal, Canada, but finished out of medal contention. For Woods, success as a shot-putter stemmed from a high school football career. "Back when I was in high school, football was the sport to play, but the coach wanted us to go out for a spring sport to keep in shape," Woods said. Woods said he chose track and field because a tackle on the football team he admired held records in the shot put, the discus and weight lifting. By his junior year in high school, Woods had broken those records and began to realize he had some talent.

80. History 7 - Olympic Stars Turned Pro - Real Pro Wrestling history 7 olympic Stars Turned Pro Other college football stars jumped intopro wrestling and after a short day spell in the mid 1920s, http://www.realprowrestling.com/news/details/content/244C2B01-EDCA-6BCC-0FE03A40

History 7 - Olympic Stars Turned Pro In the early 1920s, many Olympic champions and medal winners tried their hand at professional wrestling, bringing the amateur and the pro sports closer together once again. The promoters were interested in packing the arenas and making money, not in real wrestling contests. In a desperate attempt to bring back the crowds of the Gotch era, they introduced pre-arranged matches that would include fancy maneuvers that were impossible to do in real matches. From that point on, double crosses and working matches were common in pro wrestling. The new emphasis was on entertainment, not competitive matches. However, there would still continue to be shoots for several more decades (more on that later). Some top amateur wrestlers decided they wanted a crack at the money, too. Among the Olympians trying the pro sport were: Dr. Fred Myers of Chicago won four national AAU titles and placed third in the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium, at 176-plus pounds; Nat Pendleton was a native of Iowa who learned to wrestle from a Farmer Burns mail order course. He was unbeaten during his college career at Columbia University in New York, won four national AAU titles and captured a silver medal in the 1920 Olympics at 176-plus pounds; Robin Reed was a native of Portland, Oregon, who was one of the biggest amateur stars of all time. He never lost an amateur match any time, any place. He won four weight divisions at the Northwest Olympic Trials of 1924 and then breezed to a gold medal at 134 pounds at the Paris Olympics. He also won three national AAU titles;
