SPORTS

Boxing

The Swedes hosted the Olympic Games with the provision that boxing, an outlawed sport in Sweden, not be included in the Olympic program. Although it was also illegal in most parts of the United State, boxing flourished, with the heavyweight title drawing great attention. The decade began with African American Jack Johnson as the world heavyweight champion and white American's search for the "Great White Hope" to take the heavyweight title from him. White America finally found its champion in Jess Willard, who knocked out Johnson in a bout held in Havana, Cuba, in 1915. Boxing had gained greater acceptability by the end of the decade, as military used it for training during World War 1 and Jack Dempsey gave the sport a new face for the 1920s.

College Football

Brutality in sport, especially in boxing and college football, continued to be a much debated issue in the 1910s. Although college football authorities introduced rule changes to curb the injuries and deaths that had plagued the sport since the late nineteenth century, it was not until the introduction of more effective protective gear that the causalities in football finally declined. Nevertheless, some California institutions substituted rugby for football to avoid the carnage. Despite its brutal reputation college football continued to grow in popularity. The 1910s witnessed the last years of supremacy for Ivy League teams as schools in the Midwest, West, and South began to dominate the game.
