Marsh (1907 - 1982), a native New Yorker, was among the fundamental figures in the growth of college basketball as a major sport. Marsh was assistant sports editor of the New York Herald Tribune. Marsh started at the paper as a copy boy while still a student at City College. By 1930, he was regularly covering college basketball, then a sport confined to local rivalries in cramped campus gyms. An occasional "big game" found its way to an armory. Ned Irish introduced intersectional doubleheaders to Madison Square Garden in December 1934 and Marsh was quick to see the potential of the sport. He helped organize the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association that year and, in 1938, was a leader in founding the N.I.T., which was originally sponsored by the writers group. Marsh was also attracted by college football, partly because of the Herald Tribune's sponsorship of an All-Star game for the benefit of the Fresh Air Fund and partially because of his association with Columbia. He served three terms (1942-47, 1951-53, and 1966-68) as Columbia's sports information director. Marsh (along with Everett B. Morris of the Herald Tribune) started the East-West College All-Star basketball game at Madison Square Garden in 1946. The annual event, which ran until 1964, was also a benefit for the Fresh Air Fund. Marsh was not only active in the promotion of the Garden event but also in the assembling of the teams and maintaining the relationship with the N.C.A.A. and the colleges whose players appeared in the game. The All-Star game gave heightened visibility to college players and the schools they represented. Marsh was instrumental in developing the Eastern College Athletic Conference into a major factor in the organization of college sports. The E.C.A.C. began (as the central office of Eastern Intercollegiate Athletics) in 1938 primarily as a clearinghouse for the assignment of game officials. It later grew into an organization of over 100 colleges that conducted championships in several sports. Marsh founded the E.C.A.C. Service Bureau, its publicity and statistical arm, in 1947. The Herald Tribune closed in 1966 and Marsh worked for its ill-fated successor, the World Journal Tribune, until it closed May 5, 1967. In July 1969, he became the full-time head of the E.C.A.C. Service Bureau in Manhattan. He retired in June 1973. Marsh and Edward Ehre founded and co-edited the hardcover book annual, Best Sports Stories (E.P. Dutton), from 1945 to 1980, a book that helped elevate sportswriting and also recognized its quality. (SOURCE: Bill Shannon Biographical Dictionary of New York Sports, New York Historical Society).…

Description de la boutique

Johnnycake Books trades in rare and collectible books of most kinds, principally in fields of literature, illustrated, childrens, architecture/design, gardening and photography. We try to offer books that are a little unusual, offbeat and unexpected: most have a strong visual or design appeal. Our descriptions present our inventory as creatively and colorfully as possible, with occassional editorial commentary. We regard condition of our books as critical to our service: most are very good or better, in collectible condition. We are generally conservative in describing a book, even if that means it doesn't sound as good as it actually might be. We welcome your comments directly at johnnycake@snet.net or visit our website www.johnnycakebooks.com. Best wishes in your book collecting. Dan Dwyer…
