2325 The History of Steeplechase Racing in England. While it can be argued that the gambling and the racing are inextricably linked, this paper will argue that horse racing, especially professional steeplechasing, has made a distinct move away from its roots as a sport. Looking at the historical development and geographic expansion of steeplechase in England, it will be clear in the final analysis that modern steeplechase is a far cry from its origins, which were closely linked to a horse's prowess in 'the hunt'. Its declining popularity with the masses especially relative to point-to-point amateur racing suggest that its attempt to modernize has not been successful and spectators and speculators alike are all eager to get back in touch with real racing. What the future holds for professional steeplechase racing in Britain is thus a matter of speculation; but consistent with the wagering nature of the sport, this paper will close with the bid that it has passed its prime. 10 pgs. 19 f/c. 9b.

3709 She shoots, she scores: The Growth of Women's Sport in North America. This paper will argue, the future holds the prospect that the new generations of women competing in previously male-dominated sports will shatter the barriers that have held back these athletes for decades. In the Canadian context, interest in women competing in previously "male" sports peaked with the silver medal performance of the Canadian Women's Hockey team at the Nagano Olympics. With this victory, many Canadians - and particularly the Canadian mass media - for the first time paid attention to the "novelty" of women's hockey. In reality, of course, women's hockey is far from a novelty act, as women have been playing hockey in Canada since at least 1890. 4 pgs. No bibliography provided.
