THIS VOLUME stems from the twenty-fourth annual Walter Prescott
Webb Memorial Lectures held at the University of Texas at Arlington
on March 16, 1989. Lectures focusing on the theme of "Sport History
and Sport Mythology" were presented by Allen Guttmann, Richard D.
Mandell, Stephen Hardy, and Donald G. Kyle. An additional paper by
Steven A. Riess was the winning entry in the 1989 Webb-Smith Essay
Competition. Revised and edited to varying degrees by the authors
and co-editors, the five papers are collected in this volume, with an
introduction by Jack W. Berryman. The co-editors wish to thank all the
authors for their contributions and their cooperation.
