query: Theodore Roosevelt lived an athletic lifestyle.

pos: Theodore Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt Jr. ( -LSB- ˈroʊzəvɛlt -RSB- ; October 27 , 1858 -- January 6 , 1919 ) was an American statesman , author , explorer , soldier , naturalist , and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909 . He also served as the 25th Vice President of the United States and as the 33rd Governor of New York . As a leader of the Republican Party during this time , he became a driving force for the Progressive Era in the United States in the early 20th century . His face is depicted on Mount Rushmore , alongside those of George Washington , Thomas Jefferson , and Abraham Lincoln .   Roosevelt was born a sickly child with debilitating asthma , but he successfully overcame his physical health problems by embracing a strenuous lifestyle . He integrated his exuberant personality , vast range of interests , and world-famous achievements into a `` cowboy '' persona defined by robust masculinity . Home-schooled , he began a lifelong naturalist avocation before attending Harvard College . His book , The Naval War of 1812 ( 1882 ) , established his reputation as both a learned historian and as a popular writer . Upon entering politics , he became the leader of the reform faction of Republicans in New York 's state legislature . Following the near-simultaneous deaths of his wife and mother , he escaped to a cattle ranch in the Dakotas . Roosevelt served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President William McKinley , but resigned from that post to lead the Rough Riders during the Spanish -- American War . Returning a war hero , he was elected Governor of New York in 1898 . After the death of Vice President Garret Hobart , the New York state party leadership convinced McKinley to accept Roosevelt as his running mate in the 1900 election , moving Roosevelt to the prestigious but powerless role of vice president . Roosevelt campaigned vigorously and the McKinley-Roosevelt ticket won a landslide victory based on a platform of peace , prosperity , and conservatism .   Following McKinley 's assassination in September 1901 , Roosevelt became president at age 42 , and remains the youngest president . As a leader of the Progressive movement , he championed his `` Square Deal '' domestic policies , promising the average citizen fairness , breaking of trusts , regulation of railroads , and pure food and drugs . Making conservation a top priority , he established a myriad of new national parks , forests , and monuments intended to preserve the nation 's natural resources . In foreign policy , he focused on Central America , where he began construction of the Panama Canal . He expanded the Navy and sent the Great White Fleet on a world tour to project the United States ' naval power around the globe . His successful efforts to broker the end of the Russo-Japanese War won him the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize . He avoided the controversial tariff and money issues . Elected in 1904 to a full term , Roosevelt continued to promote progressive policies , but many of his efforts and much of his legislative agenda were eventually blocked in Congress . Roosevelt successfully groomed his close friend , William Howard Taft , and Taft won the 1908 presidential election to succeed him . In polls of historians and political scientists , Roosevelt is generally ranked as one of the five best presidents .   Frustrated with Taft 's conservatism , Roosevelt belatedly tried to win the 1912 Republican nomination . He failed , walked out , and founded a third party , the Progressive , so-called `` Bull Moose '' Party , which called for wide-ranging progressive reforms . The split allowed the Democrats to win the White House and a majority in both houses of Congress . Following his election defeat , Roosevelt led a two-year expedition to the Amazon basin , where he nearly died of tropical disease . During World War I , he criticized President Woodrow Wilson for keeping the country out of the war with Germany , and his offer to lead volunteers to France was rejected . Though he had considered running for president again in 1920 , Roosevelt 's health continued to deteriorate , and he died in 1919 .

American football resulted from several major divergences from association football and rugby football , most notably the rule changes instituted by Walter Camp , a Yale University and Hopkins School graduate who is considered to be the `` Father of American Football '' . Among these important changes were the introduction of the line of scrimmage , of down-and-distance rules and of the legalization of interference . In the late 19th and early 20th centuries , gameplay developments by college coaches such as Eddie Cochems , Amos Alonzo Stagg , Parke H. Davis , Knute Rockne , and Glenn `` Pop '' Warner helped take advantage of the newly introduced forward pass . The popularity of college football grew as it became the dominant version of the sport in the United States for the first half of the 20th century . Bowl games , a college football tradition , attracted a national audience for college teams . Boosted by fierce rivalries and colorful traditions , college football still holds widespread appeal in the United States .   The origin of professional football can be traced back to 1892 , with William `` Pudge '' Heffelfinger 's $ 500 contract to play in a game for the Allegheny Athletic Association against the Pittsburgh Athletic Club . In 1920 the American Professional Football Association was formed . This league changed its name to the National Football League ( NFL ) two years later , and eventually became the major league of American football . Primarily a sport of Midwestern industrial towns in the United States , professional football eventually became a national phenomenon .   The modern era of American football can be considered to have begun after the 1932 NFL Playoff game , which was the first American football game to feature hash marks , the legalization of the forward pass anywhere behind the line of scrimmage , the first indoor game since 1902 , and the movement of the goal posts back to goal line . Other innovations to occur immediately after 1932 , were the introduction of the AP Poll in 1934 , the tapering of the ends of the football in 1934 , the awarding of the first Heisman Trophy in 1935 , the first NFL draft in 1936 and the first televised game in 1939 . Another important event was the American football game at the 1932 Summer Olympics , which combined with a similar demonstration game at 1933 World 's Fair , led to the first College All-Star Game in 1934 , which in turn was an important factor in the growth of professional football in the United States . American football 's explosion in popularity during the second half of the 20th century can be traced to the 1958 NFL Championship Game , a contest that has been dubbed the `` Greatest Game Ever Played '' . A rival league to the NFL , the American Football League ( AFL ) , began play in 1960 ; the pressure it put on the senior league led to a merger between the two leagues and the creation of the Super Bowl , which has become the most watched television event in the United States on an annual basis .

neg: Jewish athletics during the 20th century During the 20th century , specifically in the Interwar period , athletics became a point of social integration in Jewish communities throughout Europe . Specifically within German society , playing sports provided a chance for Jews to gain social standing and even notoriety for their accomplishments . Additionally , cheering for local area sports teams and clubs provided a common ( secular ) point of interest between Jews and non-Jews . While there are many instances of social integration and acceptance as a result of sports , antisemitism was common at sporting events in central Europe as well . Discrimination , provocation , and riots occurred at sporting events and in response to Jewish athletes , coaches , and managers . As such , the public perception of Jewish athletics was mixed , with notable examples of fame and antisemitism throughout the 20th century .

neg: American way The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America . It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness . At the center of the American way is the American Dream that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work . This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism , the belief in the unique culture of the nation .   Author William Herberg offers the following definition :   One commentator notes , `` The first half of Herberg 's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it '' , even though `` Herberg 's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined ... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms '' .   In the National Archives and Records Administration 's 1999 Annual Report , National Archivist John W. Carlin writes , `` We are different because our government and our way of life are not based on the divine right of kings , the hereditary privileges of elites , or the enforcement of deference to dictators . They are based on pieces of paper , the Charters of Freedom - the Declaration that asserted our independence , the Constitution that created our government , and the Bill of Rights that established our liberties . ''

neg: World championship A world championship is generally an international sports competition open to elite competitors from across the world , representing their nations , and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport or contest .   The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or , less commonly , ranking systems ( e.g. the ICC Test Championship ) , or a combination of the two ( e.g. World Triathlon Championships in Triathlon ) . This determines a ` world champion ' , who or which is commonly considered the best nation , team , individual ( or other entity ) in the world in a particular field , although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the ` world champion ' ( see Underdog ) .   Certain sports do not have a world championship . Instead , they may organise a world cup competition , or they may organize both , for example cycling ( UCI World Championships and UCI World Cups ) ) . Often , the use of the term cup or championship in this sense is just a choice of words . Some sports have multiple champions because of multiple organizations , such as boxing , mixed martial arts and wrestling .   Certain sports do not have a world championship or a world cup as such , but may have one or several world champions . Professional boxing , for example , has several world champions at different weights , but each one of them is decided by a `` title fight '' , not a tournament .   A certain number of sports hold world championships or world cups which are overshadowed , in terms of prestige , by the same events in the Olympic Games , the most prestigious multi-sports event .   Still other sports may or may not have a true world championship but may designate the winners of a domestic competition to be `` world champions . '' This is especially true of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada ; world cups and championships exist in all of the major sports , but the domestic U.S. and Canadian leagues are generally recognized as the world professional championships or the equivalent of a world club championship . ( In American football , although an IFAF World Championship exists , the United States is so far above and beyond the other nations it faces that the winner of the U.S.-based Super Bowl , a competition limited to the 32 teams in the National Football League , is commonly recognized as the world champion . )   Finally , certain professional sports do not have a world championship or world cup , but rather hold a series of events recognised as the elite level in their field ( e.g. tennis has a series of four Grand Slam events recognised as the pinnacle of the game , in addition to key team events , world tour finals and the Olympic Games , but no world championship or world cup ) .

neg: Teddy Billington Edwin `` Teddy '' Billington ( July 14 , 1882 , Southampton -- August 8 , 1966 , Pine Brook , New Jersey ) was an American racing cyclist who competed in the early twentieth century . An all round cycling talent he competed in Cycling at the 1904 Summer Olympics and won a silver medal in the 1/2 mile and three bronze medals in the 1/4 mile , 1/3 and the mile race . His fiercest competitors were fellow Americans Marcus Hurley and Burton Downing who mostly won gold and silver respectively .

neg: Sports betting Sports betting is the activity of predicting sports results and placing a wager on the outcome . The frequency of sports bet upon varies by culture , with the vast majority of bets being placed on association football , American football , basketball , baseball , hockey , mixed martial arts , track cycling , and boxing at both the amateur and professional levels . Sports betting can also extend to non-athletic events , such as reality show contests and political elections , and non-human contests such as horse racing , greyhound racing and illegal , underground dog fighting .   Sports bettors place their wagers either legally , through a bookmaker/sportsbook , or illegally through privately run enterprises referred to as `` bookies '' . The term `` book '' being a reference to the books used by wagebrokers to track wagers , payouts , and debts . The majority of legal sportsbooks are found online , operated over the internet from jurisdictions separate from the clients they serve , usually to get around various gambling laws ( such as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 in the United States ) in select markets , such as Las Vegas , Nevada , or on gambling cruises through self-serve kiosks . They take bets `` up-front '' , meaning the bettor must pay the sportsbook before placing the bet . Illegal bookies , due to the nature of their business , can operate literally anywhere but only require money from losing bettors and do n't require the wagered money up front , creating the possibility of debt to the bookie from the bettor . This creates a number of other criminal elements , thus furthering their illegality .   Sportsbetting has resulted in a number of scandals in sport , affecting the integrity of sports events through various acts including point shaving ( players affecting the score by missing shots ) , spot-fixing ( a player action is fixed ) , bad calls from officials at key moments , and overall match fixing ( the overall result of the event is fixed ) . Examples are the 1919 World Series , the alleged ( and later admitted ) illegal gambling of former MLB player Pete Rose , and former NBA referee Tim Donaghy .

neg: Sport in Cuba <blockquote> to historical associations with the United States , many Cubans participate in sports which are popular in North America , rather than sports traditionally promoted in other Latin American nations . Baseball is by far the most popular ; other popular sports and pastimes include boxing ( Cuba is a dominant force in amateur boxing , consistently   Post Revolutionary Cuba prides itself on its success in sports . Fidel Castro expressed that sports should be `` the right of the people , '' not the right of the wealthy . He compared Pre-Revolutionary and Post-Revolutionary Cuba by explaining that while before only the wealthy could enjoy sports , now everyone can enjoy sports . He also explains that talent in sport comes from hard work , and a strong will . These are not traits the naturally wealthy have ; rather these are traits that working-class people have . In modern Cuban society , sport and physical education begin when a child is only 45 days old . The mothers are taught to exercise their children 's limbs and massage their muscles to keep them healthy . Children are taught at a later age to play games that resemble physical exercise . These ideas were the basis for the modern sports program in Cuba , and clearly it is working . Considering that Cuba 's population is only around 11 million ( around half the size of New York metro area ) , Cuba has a demanding porn porn porn porn   In 1961 , two years after the triumph of the Revolution , The National Institute of Sport , Physical Education , and Recreation ( INDER ) was created . This was the governing branch of all sport and recreation in Cuba . It developed all of the current sports and education programs in place today , including the EIDE , which is the program that finds the naturally talented young adults and gets them into sports oriented secondary schools . All first and secondary schools in Cuba teach sport and physical education as a compulsory subject . There are five sports taught in all standard secondary schools : track and field , basketball , baseball , gymnastics , and volleyball . The students who excel at a certain sport usually find themselves competing in the Cuban summer Junior Olympics which is where the EIDE sees their talent and recruits them to a specialized school that caters to just their sport .   Most of these specialized schools are located on the Isle of Youth . This is a 2,200 square kilometer island to the south of Cuba which has more than 27 of these schools , each having about 600 children who attend . The majority of them are semi-boarding schools where the students get on a boat to the island every Sunday evening and return every Friday evening . The schools are spread out across the island and have citrus groves in between them . Being consistent with the ideals of the Revolution , all of the students are required to put in 3 hours of work a day picking or canning fruit .   Every school in Cuba participates in the Junior Olympic Program established in 1963 . However many of the standard secondary schools only compete in the sports for which they have teams , for instance most of them do not have pools . The competition usually commences in July . The games have a traditional ladder system where first local schools compete , then the district winners will compete and finally the regional winners will compete . However , for team sports , the winning teams will move on , but the best players from all of the losing teams will form a new team and also move on . This way no single great player will be tossed out because of a bad team . As of 1978 the Cuban Junior Olympics involved 20 sports : Chess , Weightlifting , Athletics , Tennis , Football , Table Tennis , Basketball , Modern Gymnastics , Gymnastics , Synchronized Swimming , Swimming , Diving , Volleyball , Water Polo , Cycling , Fencing , Judo , Roller derby , Roller hockey , Pistol Shooting , Baseball and Wrestling .   INDER has many programs , including the National Institute for Sports Medicine , the National Coaches program , and the National Physical Education Institute . All of these were developed during the relatively strong economic period of 1960 -- 1990 . The Special Period of the 1990s -- 2000s created many special challenges for INDER , including budget cutbacks and a limited amount of electricity causing blackouts . In the early 1990s , many of the night sporting events were canceled to preserve electricity .   Cuba 's new sports program also began to pay for itself when many of the best players were allowed to retire early and take up position on teams in other countries . These other countries wanted to hire them because of Cuba 's fantastic success in training winning athletes . These players would earn a large salary , and about 80 % of it would go directly to the Cuban government . The players would then pocket the other 20 % , which was more than what the average Cuban in Cuba was earning . It is worthy to note that Castro abolished professional sport in Cuba in the beginning of the Revolution . What this meant was that all leagues and teams are considered amateur . This concept was imbedded in the stated ideals of the revolution , that everyone should be equal . However this outflow of the best athletes and trainers began to take its toll . In 1997 Cuba ended its 10-year , 152-game , winning-streak at the baseball International Cup by losing to Japan 11 to 2 . To fix this problem , Cuba began to offer material incentives like houses and cars to the good players to keep them from playing for other countries . These offerings were n't to completely prevent talented Cuban 's from leaving the country instead they were there to keep the system balanced . By the year 2007 there were 50 nations around the world who employed several hundred Cuban sports trainers and coaches .

neg: Roosevelt Stadium Roosevelt Stadium was a baseball park at Droyer 's Point in Jersey City , New Jersey . It opened in April 1937 and hosted high-minor league baseball , 15 major league baseball games , plus championship boxing matches , top-name musical acts , an annual championship drum and bugle corps competition known as `` The Dream '' , important regional high school football and even soccer matches . It was demolished in 1985 .

neg: Athletics at the 1900 Summer Olympics At the 1900 Summer Olympics , twenty-three athletics events were contested . Altogether , 117 athletes from 15 nations competed . A total of 68 medals ( 23 gold , 23 silver , 22 bronze ) were awarded . In many countries , due in part to the conflation of the Olympic Games and the World 's Fair in Paris , the media discussed only the athletics events under the `` Olympic '' name while ignoring the incredible variety of other sports featured at the time .   The 23 events listed are those currently considered to have been of Olympic stature by the International Olympic Committee and most Olympic historians . They exclude all events that used a handicap system , as well as all events which were open to professional athletes .   Competitions were held on 14 July , 15 July , 16 July , 19 July , and 22 July . This included Bastille Day , which is a French holiday , and then Sunday , which many of the American athletes protested . Even with many Americans not competing in finals because of confusion caused by the organizers ' decision to count scores achieved on Monday , 16 July for finals held on Sunday , 15 July and subsequent rescission of that decision , the United States won more than 4 times as many medals as any other nation , including 16 of the 23 gold medals .   The conditions of competition were also subpar compared even to those at the previous games in 1896 . There was no track for the Paris Games , as a grass field dotted with trees and of unequal elevation was used . The course was 500 metres in length , an unusual distance for a track .

neg: Ted Meredith James Edwin `` Ted '' Meredith ( November 14 , 1891 -- November 2 , 1957 ) was an American athlete , winner of two gold medals at the 1912 Summer Olympics .   Meredith made the 1912 Olympic team shortly after his graduation from Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades in 1911 , whilst he was a student at Mercersburg Academy under Scots-American coach Jimmy Curran . In Stockholm , he won a gold medal in the 800 m run with a world record 1:51.9 . He ran on to the 880 yard mark and also set a world record for that distance , with a 1:52.5 . He won another gold medal on the 4 × 400 m relay team , also taking fourth in the 400 metres competition .   Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades now has the largest repository of Olympic great James `` Ted '' Meredith memorabilia in existence thanks to Jack Lemon , author of the book `` Immortal of the Cinder Path , The Saga of James ` Ted ' Meredith , '' who donated his entire collection of Meredith memorabilia recently .   After Stockholm , Meredith entered the University of Pennsylvania . He was the IC4A 440 yards champion from 1914 to 1916 and the 880 yard champion in 1914 and 1915 . He also won the AAU 440 yard title in 1914 and 1915 . In 1916 , he set a world record in the 440 yards of 47.4 , which was n't broken until 1928 . At the same year he lowered his own world 880 yard record to 1:52.2 .   Meredith retired from competition in 1917 and served in the army during World War I . He made a comeback for the 1920 Summer Olympics , where he was eliminated in the semifinal of the 400 metres competition and ran on the relay team that finished fourth in the 4 × 400 m relay event .   After the second retiring from competition , he became a real estate broker , but retained an active interest in athletics . In 1924 he attended the Olympic Games in Paris as a reporter , working for the Christy Walsh Syndicate . In 1928 he was hired as an assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania , under Lawson Robertson . In 1936 he attended the Olympic Games in Berlin as the coach of the Czechoslovakia team . During 1937 and 1938 he trained the Cuban team for the Central American Games .

neg: Richard Degener Richard Kempster Degener ( March 14 , 1912 -- August 24 , 1995 ) was an American diver who competed in the 1932 Summer Olympics and in the 1936 Summer Olympics .   In 1932 he won the bronze medal in the 3 metre springboard event . Described as the `` Fred Astaire of diving '' , Degener competed at the 1932 Summer Olympics with University of Michigan classmates , Eddie Tolan and James Cristy .   Four years later he won the gold medal in the 3 metre springboard competition .   In April , 1936 , Degener , along with many other sports champions and stand outs , was honored at a banquet in Detroit , MI . This Banquet was the first celebration of Champions Day .   In July , 1936 , A plaque was presented to Detroit from the White House honoring Detroit as the City of Champions . The plaque has five `` medallions '' featuring athletes . Originally the plans called for these five athletes to be a baseball player , football player , hockey player , power boat racer , and a boxer . But Joe Louis was surprisingly knocked out in a boxing match just weeks before the plaque was to be presented . Planners changed the boxer to a diver , to represent Degener , at the last minute .   Degener introduced the full layout in which his body seemed to soar , lazy-like and graceful in the air . This astonished the diving world and caused a buzz of admiration around the pool . `` If there is one thing I 've gotten out of sports , it 's that I learned to be intense and to do the job . ''   Degener never lost a diving contest in college during the three years he represented Michigan from 1931 to 1934 as he took the Big Ten and National Collegiate championship . In AAU competition Dick was unbeaten for years as he won 14 national indoor and outdoor diving titles . He won four outdoor AAU Nationals in the high board representing the Detroit Athletic Club , and three NCAA titles for the University of Michigan . At the Indoor AAUs he won five straight three-meter springboard titles and two one-meter titles .  Degener later turned pro with the Billy Rose Aquacade when it opened in Cleveland .  In 1971 , Degener was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame .

neg: Dick Durrance Richard `` Dick '' Henry Durrance ( October 23 , 1914 -- June 13 , 2004 ) was a 17-time national championship alpine ski racer and one of the first Americans to compete successfully against Europeans .   Durrance was born in Tarpon Springs , Florida , and moved with his family at age 13 in 1928 to Munich , Germany , where he learned to ski at nearby Garmisch-Partenkirchen . Durrance raced competitively in Germany and won the German Junior Alpine Championship in 1932 at age 17 . The following year , he learned the newly developed parallel turn from Anton Seelos .   With the rise of Hitler , the family returned to the United States and he attended Dartmouth College in 1934 and won at Sestriere , Italy , the first American to dominate at a major European ski race . Durrance also won the U.S. men 's downhill , slalom , and combined events in 1937 and was named to the U.S. Olympic Team for the 1936 Winter Olympics , the first to include alpine skiing . The only medal event was the combined and Durrance finished tenth ; eleventh in the downhill portion and eighth in the slalom . He was a three-time winner of the Harriman Cup in Sun Valley , Idaho , then held in the Boulder Mountains north of the resort , and helped cut the original trails on its Bald Mountain in the summer of 1939 . Durrance was named to the 1940 Olympic team , but those games were cancelled due to World War II . In 1940 , he worked as publicity photographer for Sun Valley and married ski racer Margaret `` Miggs '' Jennings .   In 1941 , the Durrances bought and operated the lodge and lifts at fledgling Alta in Utah , near Salt Lake City . After training paratroopers to ski for the U.S. Army at Alta , the Durrances were expecting their first child . They moved to Seattle , where Dick worked for Boeing on in-flight camera recording equipment as a Flight Test Engineer , a job that lasted until 1945 .   The Durrances then moved to Colorado to work in Denver for Thor Groswold , then the nation 's premier ski maker , to design and test Groswold skis . At the same time , Durrance contracted with Denver 's Ernest Constam , inventor of the J-bar and the T-bar ski lifts , to sell his conveyances in the West . Durrance sold his first T-bar to Aspen , a resort just then emerging as the first postwar ski area of note in the Rockies .   In 1947 , Durrance was hired to manage the Aspen Skiing Company . The struggling company was turned around by Durrance , who brought the 1950 World Championships to Aspen , the first held outside of Europe . It put Aspen on the map and it is now one of the most popular ski resorts in the United States . He also produced a number of ski films and devoted most of his life to the promotion of skiing .   Durrance died of natural causes at age 89 on June 13 , 2004 , in Carbondale , Colorado , near Aspen . His wife Miggs died in November 2002 ; they were survived by their two sons , Dick , Jr. and Dave , and three grandchildren .   In its 75th anniversary issue in 2011 , SKI magazine listed Durrance as the `` Skier of the Decade '' for the 1930s .

neg: Sandy Duncan (athlete) Kenneth Sandilands `` Sandy '' Duncan OBE ( 26 April 1912 -- 18 June 2005 ) was an English athlete who competed in the 1934 British Empire Games and in the 1938 British Empire Games . He later became one of the most distinguished and sympathetic sports officials of his generation , as the long-serving general secretary of the British Olympic Association . For many years he was synonymous with the Olympic movement in Britain .   Duncan was educated at Malvern College , where his ability at the long jump was quickly evident -- he won the London Athletic Club 's schools championships with a record leap of 22 ft 5in . His prowess earned him a Blue in his first year at Oxford University , and he also won the 100 yards against Cambridge , as well as getting a football Blue . In the AAA championships he came in the top six in the long jump every year from 1932 to 1937 , finishing second in 1934 . He represented Britain in 1935 and , in July 1936 , ran his fastest time of 9.8 seconds for the 100 yards , although a hamstring injury prevented him from being selected for the Olympics . In 1938 , he was sixth in both the shot and discus .   At the 1934 Empire Games he finished fourth in the long jump event . At the 1938 British Empire Games , he was a member of the English relay team which won the silver medal in the 4 × 110 yards competition . In the long jump contest he finished tenth and in the 100 yards event he was eliminated in the heats . In indoor games , he won the British 70 metres dash in 1938 .   During the war he served in the Royal Artillery and rose to the rank of Major . After the war Duncan taught at Bradfield and , having qualified as an AAA coach . His administrative career began in 1947 when he was made secretary of the Universities ' Athletic Union . This gave him the initial experience for his appointment , two years later , as general secretary at the British Olympic Association ( BOA ) , the organisation responsible for the United Kingdom 's participation in the Olympic Games . He held this post for 26 years , from 1949 to 1975 and served as chef de mission at 12 Olympics , summer and winter , from the 1952 Oslo and Helsinki games to Montreal in 1976 . He was also honorary secretary of the Commonwealth Games Federation , supervising celebrations from Vancouver 1954 to Brisbane in 1982 .  He also served as secretary of the Achilles Club , for Oxford and Cambridge Blues , for 39 years .   Although appointed OBE , he was probably better recognised outside Britain than in his own country . In 1952 , he was given the White Rose and Lion from Finland and the rare Olympic Award from the IOC in 1984 .

neg: American upper class The American upper class is a social group consisting of the people who have the highest social rank and who are usually rich . People of this social class are socioeconomically distinguishable from other classes by its greater influence , power , and wealth . The American upper class is composed of members born into this class , called members of Old money ; as well as those who have acquired their wealth and influence within their own generation , called the Nouveau riche . In a CNBC Millionaire Survey it can be observed that a majority of millionaires polled , representing the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans , described themselves as middle class ( 44 % ) or upper middle class ( 40 % ) .   `` The study of attitudes is reasonably easy -LSB- ... -RSB- it 's concluded that for roughly 70 % of the population -- the lower 70 % on the wealth/income scale -- they have no influence on policy whatsoever . They 're effectively disenfranchised . As you move up the wealth/income ladder , you get a little bit more influence on policy . When you get to the top , which is maybe a tenth of one percent , people essentially get what they want , i.e. they determine the policy . So the proper term for that is not democracy ; it 's plutocracy . '' -- Noam Chomsky .   Many Politicians , heirs to fortunes , top business executives , CEOs , successful venture capitalists , those born into high society , and some celebrities may be considered members of this class . Some prominent and high-rung professionals may also be included if they attain great influence and wealth . The main distinguishing feature of this class , which is estimated to constitute roughly 1 % of the population , is the source of income . While the vast majority of people and households derive their income from wages or salaries , those in the upper class derive their income from investments and capital gains . Estimates for the size of this group commonly vary from 1 % to 2 % , while some surveys have indicated that as many as 6 % of Americans identify as `` upper class . '' Sociologist Leonard Beeghley sees wealth as the only significant distinguishing feature of this class and , therefore , refers to this group simply as `` the rich . ''   Sociologists such as W. Lloyd Warner , William Thompson and Joseph Hickey recognize prestige differences between members of the upper class . Established families , prominent professionals and politicians may be deemed to have more prestige than some entertainment celebrities who in turn may have more prestige than the members of local elites . Yet , contemporary sociologists argue that all members of the upper class share such great wealth , influence and assets as their main source of income as to be recognized as members of the same social class . As great financial fortune is the main distinguishing feature of this class , sociologist Leonard Beeghley at the University of Florida identifies all `` rich '' households , those with incomes in the top 1 % or so , as upper class .   In 1998 , Bob Herbert of The New York Times referred to modern American plutocrats as `` The Donor Class '' ( list of top donors ) and defined the class , for the first time , as `` a tiny group -- just one-quarter of 1 percent of the population -- and it is not representative of the rest of the nation . But its money buys plenty of access . ''

neg: Competitive trail riding Competitive trail riding ( CTR ) is an equestrian sport where riders cover a marked trail for a distance that is usually between 15 and 40 miles per day . Some rides are only one day long , others may run as long as three days . One-day six-mile events have also become popular .  The goal of the competition is to demonstrate partnership between horse and rider . Unlike in endurance riding , factors other than speed are considered . If the ride is timed , it is a form of pace race ; otherwise it is a judged trail ride . In a timed ride , horses may not come in under or over a certain time , and veterinary checks , rider behavior and other elements play a role in the placings . The horse is evaluated on performance , manners , and related criteria . `` Pulse and respiration '' stops check the horse 's recovery ability and conditioning .   There are many different organizations which sanction competitive trail rides . Horsemanship may be considered at some competitions , depending on the sanctioning organization . Riders are evaluated on how they handle the trail , manage the horse , and present to the judges and veterinarians throughout the ride . Obstacles are also set up along the trail with the horse and rider graded on how well they perform as a team .   Rides are often held on public lands , such as Forest Service or BLM lands in the United States , but are also held on private property . The terrain varies depending on the part of the country in which a competition is held , and lands available for the event . Unlike trail riding at a guest ranch , where inexperienced riders walk their horses most of the time and cover simple trails , riders who compete in competitive trail rides are asked to have their animals navigate a variety of terrain and use all gaits , especially the trot .   Similar events exist around the world , though often with wide variations in rules and distances . In all cases , the most obvious difference between an endurance ride and a competitive trail ride is that the winner of an endurance ride is the first horse and rider team to cross the finish line and pass a vet check that deems the horse `` fit to continue , '' whereas competitive trail rides usually consider additional factors and penalize a horse and rider that finish in too little or too long of a time .

She was born in New York , the daughter of stockbroker Beverly Robinson and Eliza Gracie King . She was educated at private schools in New York City and in France .   Robinson mainly played at the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club and in New York tournaments .

neg: Presidency of William McKinley The presidency of William McKinley began on March 4 , 1897 at noon Eastern Standard Time , when William McKinley was inaugurated as President of the United States , and ended on September 14 , 1901 , upon his assassination and death , days into his second term . McKinley , a Republican , was succeeded by Vice President Theodore Roosevelt .   The 25th United States president , he took office following the 1896 presidential election , in which he defeated Democrat William Jennings Bryan , after a front-porch campaign in which he advocated `` sound money '' , promised that high tariffs would restore prosperity , and denounced Bryan 's radicalism and class warfare . He defeated Bryan again in the 1900 presidential election , in a campaign focused on imperialism , protectionism , and free silver . McKinley 's presidency marked the beginning of an era in American political history from the mid -- 1890s to 1932 that was generally dominated by the Republican Party .   McKinley led the nation to victory in the Spanish -- American War , took ownership of Hawaii , the Philippines and Puerto Rico , restored prosperity , promoted pluralism among all groups , raised protective tariffs to promote American industry , and maintained the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of inflationary proposals . Rapid economic growth marked his presidency . He promoted the 1897 Dingley Tariff to protect manufacturers and factory workers from foreign competition , and in 1900 , he secured the passage of the Gold Standard Act . McKinley hoped to persuade Spain to grant independence to rebellious Cuba without conflict , but when negotiation failed , he led the nation in the Spanish -- American War of 1898 ; the U.S. victory was quick and decisive . As part of the peace settlement , Spain turned over to the United States its main overseas colonies of Puerto Rico , Guam , and the Philippines ; Cuba was promised independence , but for a time remained under the control of the U.S. Army . The United States annexed the independent Republic of Hawaii in 1898 and it became a U.S. territory . As an innovator of American interventionism and pro-business sentiment , McKinley 's presidency is generally ranked above average . Historian Lewis L. Gould argues that McKinley was effective in domestic and foreign affairs and was `` the first modern president '' :

neg: American football American football , referred to as football in the United States and Canada , and also known as `` gridiron football '' or simply `` gridiron '' , is a sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end . The offense , the team with control of the oval-shaped football , attempts to advance down the field by running with or passing the ball , while the team without control of the ball , the defense , aims to stop their advance and take control of the ball for themselves . The offense must advance at least ten yards in four downs , or plays , or else they turn over the football to the opposing team ; if they succeed , they are given a new set of four downs . Points are primarily scored by advancing the ball into the opposing team 's end zone for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the opponent 's goalposts for a field goal . The team with the most points at the end of a game wins .   American football evolved in the United States , originating from the sports of association football and rugby football . The first game of American football was played on November 6 , 1869 , between two college teams , Rutgers and Princeton , under rules based on the association football rules of the time . During the latter half of the 1870s , colleges playing association football switched to the Rugby Union code , which allowed carrying the ball . A set of rule changes drawn up from 1880 onward by Walter Camp , the `` Father of American Football '' , established the snap , eleven-player teams , and the concept of downs ; later rule changes legalized the forward pass , created the neutral zone , and specified the size and shape of the football .   American football as a whole is the most popular sport in the United States . Professional football and college football are the most popular forms of the game , with the other major levels being high school and youth football . , nearly 1.1 million high school athletes and 70,000 college athletes play the sport in the United States annually , almost all of them men , with a few exceptions . The National Football League , the most popular American football league , has the highest average attendance of any professional sports league in the world ; its championship game , the Super Bowl , ranks among the most-watched club sporting events in the world , and the league has an annual revenue of around US$ 10 billion .
