<mask>. (born May 13, 1961) is an American professional stock car racing driver. Now retired from NASCAR racing, Bickle, who never completed a full season in the NASCAR Cup Series, had a long history in short track racing. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel described him in 2012 as a "stud on the short tracks in the late 1980s and early '90s and a journeyman who rarely caught a break in NASCAR." He won three NASCAR truck races, had a career-best fourth-place finish in the Cup Series in 218 career NASCAR starts. Early career
<mask> was brought into the sport as a child, when he watched his father, <mask>., race throughout Wisconsin. The younger Bickle began racing motocross at the age of five. While winning the 250cc championship on Sunday nights when he was 16, he raced stock cars at Jefferson Speedway on Saturday nights in 1977.He went behind his father's barn to pick out one of his father's old racecars and selected a beat-up 1968 Pontiac GTO. "It was so beat up you could hardly tell what it was." <mask> started racing a 1974 Pontiac as a sportsman at Jefferson for the second half of the 1977 season and the whole 1978 season. Bickle stopped racing motorcycles after he graduated in 1979. He built a 1972 Ford Torino with a 302 cubic inch motor that year, which he began using at mid-season. He used the car to win a heat and the semi-feature at Columbus 151 Speedway in the car's first night out, and it ran well at Lake Geneva Raceway and Rockford Speedway. That off-season he changed the rear clip on the car to improve it for Rockford before deciding to give away the car and build a new one.In 1980 he raced weekly at Rockford, Lake Geneva, and Capital Speedway (now Madison International Speedway), winning 23 semi-features which was the most in the United States. He was named the Sportsman Rookie of the Year at Lake Geneva and Rockford. Bickle turned his Rockford car into a late model in 1981 and raced the car to a Top 5 points finish at Lake Geneva and ninth place at Capital. He raced the car at Slinger Super Speedway and selected ARTGO races. He won his first late model feature that season at Lake Geneva. In 1982, he decided to try to run as many races as he could within 300 miles of his home, and he had raced in between 90 and 100 events by the end of the season. He had won a couple of features and had set fast time at Wisconsin Dells Speedway (now Dells Raceway Park).At the off-season banquet for Slinger Super Speedway, he told track owner Wayne Erickson that he would win the 1983 track championship. Bickle focused on winning Slinger's track championship that year and he finished in the Top 5 in 17 of 18 features that season to win the track championship. In 1984 he raced primarily at Slinger, Wisconsin International Raceway (WIR), and Capital. Bickle won his first half-mile feature at WIR even though he had raced at Capital for several seasons. Bickle updated his car, hauler, engine, and equipment for 1985 with a new sponsor. He won the season opener at Capital and several other features later in the season en route to winning the track championship. He had a good season at WIR and raced well at the ARTGO races that he ran.In 1986 he won the points championship at Capital Speedway. He had 17 feature wins that season and he ran well at Slinger, WIR, and Wisconsin Dells. In 1987, he raced at numerous Wisconsin tracks. He won a $15,000-to-win event at Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1987. Butch Miller, who had led most of the race, went in for a pit stop with 60 laps left, and <mask> and Ted Musgrave gained the lead. The race was halted for rain and hail with 46 laps left, and it was declared over with <mask> receiving the win. He had won 230 races at various short tracks, including Lake Geneva Raceway, Wisconsin International Raceway, and late model track championships at Slinger Super Speedway in 1983 and 1989.<mask> won the Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway a record five times: 1990, 1991, 1996, 1998 and 1999. ASA
In 1990, he made his debut in the American Speed Association, a Midwest-based racing organization based primarily in short tracks. He finished runner up to Johnny Benson in Rookie of the Year standings. (Ironically, Benson would take over Bickle's old Cup ride in 2000.) NASCAR Winston Cup

<mask> made his NASCAR Winston Cup debut in 1989 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, in his self-owned, unsponsored #02 Buick. He finished 39th out of 42 cars after his engine expired 37 laps into the race. He made his first start in the Daytona 500 the next year when, once again driving his own underfunded Oldsmobile, and finished 28th, just five laps down.Bickle competed in 11 events over the next three years (leading one lap at Charlotte in 1993). 1994 marked a then-career-high in terms of starts, driving ten races, most of them for Harry Melling. After years of limited starts, Bickle made the full-time jump to Cup in 1998, driving the #98 Thorn Apple Valley Ford Taurus for Cale Yarborough, replacing Greg Sacks who had been critically injured in an accident at Texas. Bickle had two top-five qualifying efforts and finished a career-best 4th at Martinsville and delivered an emotional post-race interview. When the sponsorship went away, Bickle signed with Tyler Jet Motorsports to drive the #45 10-10-345 Lucky Dog Pontiac. It was an up-and-down year for Bickle and the team; Bickle posted top-10s at the Pontiac Excitement 400 and the Pocono 500. However he had trouble qualifying for races, and after the Pepsi Southern 500 at Darlington, he was released from the team.Bickle drove some for Melling Racing that year. In 2000, <mask> did substitute duty for Joe Bessey's team, and drove one race for Morgan-McClure Motorsports the following year, in addition to driving once for Midwest Transit Racing. NASCAR Busch Series
<mask> has found considerably more success in the lower levels of NASCAR than he has in Winston Cup. He made his Busch Series debut in 1993 at Atlanta, finishing 27th with engine failure. <mask>'s best season in the Busch Series was 1994, where he won one pole and had four top-10 finishes in a limited schedule. In 2001, he made his first full-time run in the Busch Series, driving the #59 Kingsford Chevy, and competed in 27 events before he was released. He has run only one Busch Series race since then.NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

<mask> began racing in the Craftsman Truck Series in 1996 for Petty Enterprises, winning two poles, having 9 top-10 finishes, and wound up a solid 11th in points. For 1997, he switched to the #17 DieHard Chevrolet owned by Darrell Waltrip Motorsports, and the combination was an instant success. Bickle started four races on the pole position, winning three. He nearly won a fourth race at Sonoma until both a chaotic next-to-last restart occurred as well as rookie Boris Said retaliating against Bickle for contact during that restart; foiling the race for Bickle. When the checkered flag fell on the season, he was second in championship points. Since then he has run a limited schedule in the trucks, the most starts he's had in a season since then is twelve in 2003. Career after NASCAR

Bickle occasionally races at special events at his home tracks in Wisconsin., Bickle planned to open an auto fabrication business in Edgerton with his father, tentatively named Rock County Flatheads and Fabrication. Bickle had owned an auto customization at his racing shop in Mooresville. He began concentrating more being a businessman and by 2012 he operated three businesses. He owned a hot rod shop in Janesville, Wisconsin, a bar in Madison, Wisconsin, and a drive-shaft business in Madison. <mask> is co-owner of a controversial strip club in Bristol, WI. Bickle built a new chassis that he raced from 2005 until 2010. He was dissatisfied with the car's performance and acquired one of his early 2000s cars back for the 2011 National Short Track Championship at Rockford Speedway.Bickle was second fastest in practice and raced in the top five during the feature. In 2012 he qualified third for the Slinger Nationals behind Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth. After being sent to the back of the field for early-race contact, he battled his way up to the lead just after half way, and he finished sixth. At the end of the 2012 season, Bickle won the National Short Track Championship race at Rockford Speedway for the second time. Bickle announced that 2013 would be his final season of racing stock cars; competing for the full season in the ARCA Midwest Tour, he also returned to Slinger Super Speedway where he won his fourth Slinger Nationals after the apparent winner, Steve Apel, was disqualified. Bickle battled for the lead in the middle of the 2013 National Short Track Championship race and ended up finishing fourth. He ended his career on the following weekend finishing 22nd at the Oktoberfest 100 ARCA Midwest Tour race at the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway on October 6, 2013.He came out of retirement in 2015 - racing at the Slinger Nationals, Madison, and several races at Wisconsin International Raceway. In 2015, he was inducted in the Southeastern Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Fame citing his two Slinger track championships and four Slinger Nationals wins. Bickle is the subject of a 2019 book Barnyard to Brickyard - The <mask> Story and he announced a book signing tour of Wisconsin race tracks in July 2019. After the signing tour, Bickle continued to race super lates, and in 2020 said that the 2021 Snowball Derby will be his last contest. Bickle started the 2021 year racing a snowmobile in January at Eagle River, Wisconsin. He won the Outlaw 600 class feature at the Vintage World Championship Snowmobile Derby. After several years away from a major racing series, Bickle would return to run the 2021 ARCA Menards season opener at Daytona for Empire Racing.On May 2, 2021, <mask> won the annual Joe Shear Classic ARCA Midwest Tour race at Madison International Speedway. He won the Jim Sauter Classic ARCA Midwest race at Dells Raceway Park in early September. He was chasing the weekly Super Late Model season track championship at Slinger; on the following Sunday night he won the final race and finished second to Luke Fenhaus for the championship. At the time, he stated in an interview that he had raced at 226 race tracks. <mask> made his final career start at the 2021 Snowball Derby in early December. Personal

title: Ikioi Shōta

type: original

texts:
is a Japanese former professional sumo wrestler from Katano, Osaka. He began his career in March 2005. He won the jūryō championship in November 2011 in his very first tournament in the division and just two tournaments later made his makuuchi division debut. He was runner up to Jōkōryū in the jūryō division in September 2012. His highest rank was  sekiwake. He won four special prizes for Fighting Spirit and five gold stars for defeating yokozuna. He did not miss a single bout from his professional debut until the last day of the January 2021 tournament.He retired in June 2021 to become a coach and elder of the Japan Sumo Association  under the name Kasugayama. Early life and sumo background
From his preschool years Toguchi was enrolled at a local sumo dōjō, coincidentally the future Gōeidō was also enrolled there at this time. In 1996 as a primary school fourth grader, he came in runner up at a national children's sumo tournament. After junior high school, he attempted to enter Hōtoku Gakuen high school which had a strong sumo team, but when he failed he decided to take a break from sumo and worked at his parents' sushi restaurant for three years while continuing to stay in shape. Career

Acceding to his mother's wishes, at eighteen he joined Isenoumi stable and first entered the ring in March 2005. He took the shikona or ring name of Ikioi from his first pro tournament. In his second tournament in July 2005 in the jonidan division he achieved a perfect record, but lost his second bout in a three-way playoff for the championship to the future Daidō.In September 2006 while competing in the makushita division he was punched in the face in the dressing room after a bout with forty-year-old Kotokanyu, who apparently objected to being slapped around the face (a legitimate tactic known as harite) by someone over twenty years his junior. Kotokanyu was told to retire immediately afterwards. Over the next five years, <mask> managed to work his way slowly up the ranks until he was finally awarded promotion to the salaried jūryō division after a 5–2 record at makushita 3 in September 2011. In contrast to his slow progress previously, <mask> found unprecedented success in the jūryō second division. He had only one loss in the first thirteen days of his jūryō debut, and even though he lost his last two bouts he still managed to win the tournament. His 10–5 record in the following January 2012 tournament earned him promotion to the makuuchi top division. <mask> was the first wrestler to have only one Chinese character in his ring name to enter the top division since Yokozuna Akebono in 1990.He posted only posted a 5–10 record in his makuuchi debut in March and was immediately relegated back to jūryō. He repeated the same pattern in the following two tournaments, posting a strong winning record in upper jūryō to again enter makuuchi only to get a 7–8 losing record to again be relegated to the lower division. His September 2012 division effort at jūryō 1 was where he managed to turn things around, achieving an 11–4 record and a chance at the championship which he lost to Jōkōryū in a playoff. This performance saw him promoted to maegashira 10. He achieved his first kachi-koshi or winning record in the top division at the third attempt in November 2012, and was promoted to maegashira 5 for the January 2013 tournament. In this basho he defeated his first ever san'yaku opponent, Tochiōzan, and came through with another winning record. Now a makuuchi regular, in the May 2014 tournament recorded an 11–4 at maegashira 5 and received his second special prize for Fighting Spirit.In September his bout against Ichinojo was stopped by the referee after he suffered a heavy nosebleed from striking Ichinojo's shoulder, a rare occurrence, but he still went on to win. He made his sanyaku debut at komusubi rank in the November 2014 tournament. However, he scored only six wins, and struggled badly when facing the top ranked wrestlers again, scoring only 1–14 at maegashira 2 in January and 2–13 at maegashira 3 in July. When dropped to maegashira 12 in September he returned to form, and after eleven days he was in second place with a 10–1 record. He then lost his next three but recovered to beat Amuuru on the final day to end with an 11–4 record and a Fighting Spirit prize. In November he produced his best performance in the top division, winning twelve matches and finishing in a three-way tie for second place. He also earned his fourth Fighting Spirit prize.In January 2016 <mask> was ranked at komusubi again but recorded only five wins and was relegated to maegashira 4. He performed much better in March, posting a 10–5 record: only a loss to Kotoyuki on the final day prevented him from taking a fifth Fighting Spirit prize. With both komusubi and both sekiwake having losing records in that tournament, <mask> was promoted to sekiwake for the first time for the following May 2016 basho. He became the first sekiwake from Isenoumi stable since Tosanoumi was promoted in 1997. He lost the rank after scoring only 4–11, but he earned a first kinboshi or gold star for a yokozuna upset in the July tournament in Nagoya, defeating Hakuhō on the ninth day. In November 2016 he faced Kagayaki, a match which saw two wrestlers with single-kanji fighting names meet in the top division for the first time since the introduction of the yūshō system in 1909. He earned his second kinboshi in defeating Kakuryū in January 2017, and his third in beating Hakuhō again in the following tournament in March.The win over Hakuhō was in front of his hometown Osaka fans, and he later recalled it as one of the most memorable wins of his career. In March 2018 he finished with an 11–4 record, but a defeat on the final day meant he missed out on a share of the Fighting Spirit Prize. Having not missed a bout since his professional debut, <mask> fought his 500th consecutive makuuchi match in May 2018. In March 2019 he was suffering from cellulitis and a fever but did not pull out of the tournament, not wanting to disappoint the fans in his native Osaka Prefecture, and won just two bouts. He was demoted to the jūryō division for the May 2019 tournament, bringing to an end his streak of 585 consecutive top division matches since November 2012. He returned to the top division in January 2020 following an 11–4 playoff defeat the previous November, but was once again demoted to jūryō after the July 2020 tournament. Fighting from the rank of jūryō 12 in January 2021 he recorded only a 6–9 score, forfeiting his final match against Tsurugishō due to a hand injury, the first absence of his career.This brought to an end his run of 1090 consecutive bouts from his career debut, the third highest among active wrestlers. He sat out both the following March and May tournaments, and had two surgeries, but they failed to fix the problem. Retirement from sumo
<mask> announced his retirement from sumo in June 2021, on the day of the release of the banzuke for the July 2021 tournament where he had fallen to sandanme 21. He became a elder of the Japan Sumo Association, having acquired the Kasugayama elder stock, and will work as a coach at Isenoumi stable. Fighting style
Ikioi favoured a migiyotsu (right hand inside, left hand outside grip on his opponent′s mawashi). His favourite winning kimarite was a straightforward yorikiri, or force out. He also regularly employed oshidashi, or push out, and sukuinage, or scoop throw.Personal life
In June 2018 his engagement to professional golfer Mamiko Higa was announced. The couple met at a sumo event in 2015. They had intended to marry on their mutual birthdays on October 11, 2018, but this did not go ahead. The engagement has reportedly been broken off. Career record

title: Donn Clendenon

texts:
<mask> (July 15, 1935 – September 17, 2005) was an American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a first baseman from  to . He is most notable for his performance during the 1969 World Series when he won the World Series Most Valuable Player Award by hitting three home runs to help lead the team known as the Miracle Mets to an upset victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Early life
Six months after <mask> was born in Neosho, Missouri, his father, Claude, died from leukemia. <mask> was a mathematics and psychology professor and chairman of the mathematics department at Langston University, an all-black school in Langston, Oklahoma. Clendenon's mother, Helen, demanded high academic achievement from her son. When he was six years old, Clendenon's mother married former Negro league baseball player Nish Williams.In addition to academic excellence, Clendenon's new stepfather decided he was going to make his stepson into a baseball player. Williams served as a coach on nearly every baseball team that Clendenon played on, including his college team at Atlanta's Morehouse College, and his semi-pro career with the Atlanta Black Crackers. Along with Williams, Clendenon received pointers from some of the players Williams knew from the Negro leagues, including Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe. Morehouse College
Clendenon graduated as a letterman in nine sports at Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta, Georgia, and received a host of scholarship offers. He was prepared to attend UCLA on a scholarship until some coaches from Morehouse College in Atlanta visited his mother, and convinced her that he should attend a school closer to home. Morehouse College was and is one of the premier academic institutions for young African-American men. Just before Clendenon arrived in , the freshman class were assigned "Big Brothers" to help the students acclimate themselves to Morehouse and college life.Although the policy had ended when he arrived, a Morehouse graduate volunteered to be Clendenon's big brother; his name was Martin Luther King Jr.

Clendenon became a twelve time letterman in football, basketball and baseball at Morehouse, and had received contract offers from both the Cleveland Browns and the Harlem Globetrotters. Clendenon, however, decided he wanted to teach, and began teaching fourth grade upon graduation. Williams convinced Clendenon to attend a Pittsburgh Pirates try-out camp in , and he signed with the team as an amateur free agent shortly afterwards. Major League Baseball career

Pittsburgh Pirates
After five seasons in the minor leagues, <mask> made his major league debut with Pittsburgh in  as a September call-up. In his rookie season, , Clendenon batted .302 with seven home runs and 28 runs batted in in eighty games to finish second in National League Rookie of the Year balloting to Chicago Cubs second baseman Ken Hubbs. Following the 1962 season, the Pirates traded first baseman Dick Stuart to the Boston Red Sox to open a position for Clendenon. He responded by batting .275 with 15 home runs and 57 RBI.Clendenon drove in 96 and 98 in  and , respectively, and became a member of Pittsburgh's famed "Lumber Company" (although the term "Lumber Company was not actually used until the 1970s) along with Willie Stargell and Roberto Clemente. He also earned a reputation as a "free swinger" as he led the league in strikeouts in  and , and finished second in 1966 and third in 1965. 1968 expansion draft
With first base prospect Al Oliver waiting in the wings, the Pirates left Clendenon unprotected for the 1968 Major League Baseball expansion draft, and he was selected by the Montreal Expos. On January 22, , the Expos traded Clendenon and Jesús Alou to the Houston Astros for Rusty Staub; however, Clendenon refused to report to the Astros. In 1968 the Astros had hired Harry Walker to be their new manager. Clendenon had played under Walker in Pittsburgh—and Clendenon considered Walker to be a racist. He threatened to retire rather than play for the Astros.Commissioner Bowie Kuhn forced the trade through, ordering the Expos to send additional compensation. Clendenon joined the Expos on April 19, 1969. He was batting .240 with four home runs and 14 RBI when the Expos dealt him to the New York Mets on June 15, 1969, in exchange for Steve Renko, Kevin Collins and two minor leaguers. Amazin' Mets
The Mets were in second place, nine games back of Leo Durocher's Chicago Cubs in the newly aligned National League East, when they acquired Clendenon. Splitting time with Ed Kranepool at first base, <mask>'s numbers with the Mets did not improve immediately over those he put up with the Expos. Slowly, however, <mask>'s batting average began to rise; on August 30, Clendenon hit a 10th-inning home run against the San Francisco Giants to give the Mets the 3–2 win. The Mets were  games back of Chicago when the Cubs came to Shea Stadium for a two-game set on September 8.The Mets swept the set to move within  game of first place, with Clendenon hitting a two-run home run in the Mets' 7–1 victory on the ninth. The Mets won their next six in a row (10 total) to move   games over the Cubs. On September 24, Clendenon swung the big bat against the St. Louis Cardinals with a three-run home run and a solo shot to clinch the NL East. Overall, they won 38 of their last 49 games, and finished with 100 wins against 62 losses, eight games over the second-place Cubs. 1969 World Series
Clendenon did not appear in the Mets' 1969 National League Championship Series three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves. In the 1969 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles, Clendenon appeared in four of the five games, missing only Game 3. He went 2 for 4 in Game 1, scoring the Mets' only run in their 4–1 loss.He hit a fourth-inning home run in game two and a second-inning home run in game four to give the Mets early 1–0 leads in both games. The Orioles were ahead 3–0 in Game 5 when Cleon Jones led off the sixth inning. Dave McNally appeared to hit Jones in the foot with a pitch; however, home plate umpire Lou DiMuro ruled that the ball had missed Jones. Mets manager Gil Hodges emerged from the dugout to argue, and showed DiMuro a shoe-polish smudge on the ball. DiMuro reversed his call, and awarded Jones first base. <mask> followed with a two-run home run to pull the Mets within a run. The Mets eventually won the game, 5–3, to complete their improbable World Series victory over the heavily-favored Orioles.For the series, <mask> batted .357 (5 for 14) with three home runs and four RBI, and was named World Series MVP. His three home runs remain tied for most home runs in a five-game Series, with Ryan Howard equaling it in the 2008 World Series. Retirement
On July 28, , Clendenon set a Mets record by driving in seven runs with a pair of three-run homers and a sacrifice fly. The Mets were in second place, one game back of the Pirates at the end of play that day. However, they sputtered from there, ending the season in third place, six games back of the division winning Pirates. <mask> batted .288 with 22 home runs for the season, and set the Mets' single season RBI record with 97. After having been demoted to the Tidewater Tides in 1970, Ed Kranepool enjoyed a career year with the Mets in .With first base prospects Mike Jorgensen and John Milner also both waiting in the wings, Clendenon became the odd man out, and was released by the Mets at the end of the 1971 season. Clendenon caught on with the St. Louis Cardinals for the  season, but saw very limited playing time behind Matty Alou. He was released on August 7 with a .191 batting average, four home runs and just nine RBIs. Three weeks after <mask>'s release, the Cardinals dealt Alou to the Oakland Athletics, and spent the rest of the season with a revolving door at first base. Post-baseball
After retiring, <mask> returned to Pittsburgh and earned a Juris Doctor degree from Duquesne University in , then began practicing law in Dayton, Ohio. He recounted the 1969 New York Mets season in his book, Miracle In New York, in which he also talked about growing up in Atlanta, earning his law degree and battling drug addiction as he neared his 50th birthday. He eventually entered a drug rehabilitation facility in Ogden, Utah, and during a physical examination in connection with his treatment, learned he had leukemia.That prompted his move to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in , where he worked with Carlsen, Carter, Hoy & Eirenberg before becoming general counsel to the Interstate Audit Corporation. He also worked for many years as a chemical dependency counselor and was devoted to helping others in their recoveries. <mask> died in Sioux Falls in 2005 at age 70 after a long bout with leukemia. He was survived by his wife, Anne; his sons, <mask>, Jr. and Val, his daughter, <mask>on, and six grandsons. Shortly before his death, he was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of fame.

He attended the University of Minnesota at Saint Paul, from which he received a Bachelor of Arts in geology in 1937. He immediately moved thereafter to Texas to work for Geophysical Services, Inc. The company sought to locate petroleum within the United States and abroad in such locations as Venezuela, Sumatra, and the not-yet-established Pakistan. Geophysical Services became Texas Instruments, headquartered in Dallas.In 1951, <mask> became the executive vice president of the company; president in 1956. He retired from the board at the age of forty-eight in 1961. In 1939, <mask> married Ruth Welton, also a native of Eveleth, Minnesota. The couple had three sons,  <mask> <mask> (born c. 1942) of Richardson, Texas, Richard John <mask> (born 1943) and wife, Tory, of Dallas, and James Randall <mask> (born 1950) and wife, Betsy, of Houston, Texas. <mask> died in November 1975. Two years later, <mask> married Brooksie Jeanne Penland Willie (born 1932), the mother of three daughters and two sons.

From 1967 to 1969, he was the Republican chairman for Dallas County, a position held prior to 1962 by then state chairman Peter J. O'Donnell, a Dallas investor and philanthropist. <mask> was elected national committeeman at the state Republican convention in 1972. Four years later he was succeeded as committeeman by another oilman, Ernest Angelo, then the mayor of Midland, who held the post until 1996. From 1974 to 1976, Angich was the vice chairman of the Republican National Committee in Washington, D.C., as well as Texas national committeeman.In 1970, <mask> was elected to the state House of Representatives in then District 33-R, renamed District 114 in 1983. He was the first Republican elected countywide in Dallas County since Reconstruction. He won as a Republican in a heavily Democratic year with the Texas statewide candidates for U.S. senator and governor, George Herbert Walker Bush and Paul Eggers both going down to defeat at the hands of Lloyd Bentsen and Preston Smith, respectively. In 1972, Agnich considered running for governor against Preston Smith but never filed his papers of candidacy. Instead Smith was denied re-nomination, and the Republicans chose State Senator Henry Grover of Houston, who then lost to the Democrat Dolph Briscoe of Uvalde. Agnich was also a fundraiser for Republican U.S. Senator John Tower of Texas, who won his third term in 1972.<mask> was tapped as minority leader in 1972 by his Republican House colleagues. In 1974, Representative <mask> was part of the state constitutional convention held that spring to draft a document to replace the Texas Constitution of 1876. However, the new constitution fell three votes short, 118 votes instead of 121, of the two-thirds majority required in the combined state House and Senate. In 1977, he hired young Karl Rove to his first job in Texas as a legislative assistant in <mask>'s Dallas office. <mask> served on House Appropriations and Finance and was the chairman of the Environmental Affairs Subcommittee on Wildlife throughout his 18-year career in the legislature. His interest in the environment was an outgrowth of the management during the 1960s of his 3,500-acre ranch near Athens in Henderson County east of Dallas. He built a 3,000-foot dam to fill a 500-acre lake.He turned his ranch into a wildlife refuge for the undertaking of research into habitat conservation. In 1979, Agnich endorsed former Democratic Governor John Connally for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination, which instead went to Ronald W. Reagan, the former governor of California who then unseated Jimmy Carter, thus far the last Democrat to have won the electoral votes of Texas. <mask> was considered generally conservative. In 1975, he criticized higher education in Texas for excessive spending. Yet, he was also a member of the "Dirty Thirty" legislators who exposed the Sharpstown banking scandal in Houston and challenged the power of Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives Gus Mutscher of Washington County. He did not hesitate to use state power to promote his favorite interests, environmental legislation, and wildlife preservation, specifically the Wildlife Conservation Act of 1983. In 1989, <mask>, with his wife Brooksie, retired to their homes in Dallas and Athens, Texas, and on Lake Lenore in Ouray, Colorado.He died of a lengthy illness in Dallas at the age of ninety-one, just days before the reelection of U.S. President George W. Bush. His widow, Brooksie, died on April 26, 2016 at the age of eighty-three. <mask> is honored through the Fred J. Agnich Scholarship Fund at the Texas Association of Professional Geoscientists in Austin. <mask> of Dallas described her father-in-law, accordingly:
<mask> lived an absolutely full life. He was well-loved by people from all sides of the political spectrum. He probably had enough excitement, energy, ups and downs, successes and risk-taking for two whole people and two whole lives. References

texts:
<mask> (February 4, 1860 – May 7, 1944) was a vice admiral of the United States Navy. His career included service in the Spanish–American War and World War I, and a tour as President of the Naval War College. <mask> was also a noted historian on military and naval topics, particularly relating to ancient naval warfare. He was the third generation in a well-known family of able naval officers. He was the son of Rear Admiral <mask> (1812–1882), who fought in the Second Seminole War (1839–1842) and the American Civil War (1861–1865), and the grandson of Commodore <mask> (1772–1838), who fought in the War of 1812 (1812–1814). <mask>s relative, one of the Rodgers Naval dynasty, <mask>, born in 1881, was a pioneering early aviator, reaching the rank of commander before dying in a plane crash in 1926. Naval career
Born on 4 February 1860 in Washington, D.C., the son of <mask> (1812–1882) and <mask> (1823–1897), <mask> entered the United States Naval Academy on 11 June 1874 and graduated in 1878.He served aboard the steamer  from 1878 to 1879 and at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., from 1880 to 1881, and was promoted to midshipman on 4 June 1880. He served aboard the corvette  on the European Station from 1881 to 1884 and was promoted to ensign on 1 April 1882. <mask> was on special duty at the United States Department of the Navy in Washington, D.C., from 1884 to 1885, then received instruction in torpedo service during 1886. He was assigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence from 1886 to 1888, then to special duty aboard the protected cruiser  from 1889 to 1892, being promoted to lieutenant, junior grade, on 4 May 1889 while aboard Atlanta. From December 1892 until 1895, he served at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., and was promoted to lieutenant in February 1894. In October 1895, <mask> reported for duty aboard the screw gunboat , which operated as a training ship during his tour. Leaving Alliance, he was assigned in May 1897 to the Columbian Iron Works and Dry Dock Company, which was engaged in ship construction for the U.S. Navy in Baltimore, Maryland.In January 1898, <mask> took command of the torpedo boat , leading her into combat when the Spanish–American War broke out in April 1898. Foote assisted in the blockade of Cuba, patrolling the coast closely, and fought the first battle of the war on 23 or 25 April 1898 (sources vary), when she approached the harbor at Cárdenas, Cuba, to scout shipping and exchanged fire with the Spanish Navy gunboat Ligera. Spanish sources claim that Foote was badly damaged and forced to withdraw, but U.S. sources state that she simply withdrew. Foote also bombarded Morro Island on 29 April 1898, and during the summer carried mail, dispatches, and supplies from Key West, Florida, to the blockading squadron off Cuba until the end of the war in August 1898. <mask> returned to duty at the Washington Navy Yard on 3 November 1898. On 15 May 1900, he reported aboard the screw sloop-of-war , which was in service with the Training Squadron, and was aboard her until 1901, being promoted to lieutenant commander on 19 February 1901. He was assigned to the battleship   before moving on to a tour on the Naval War College staff at Newport, Rhode Island.After that, he was executive officer of the battleship  in the United States Asiatic Fleet before becoming commanding officer of the Asiatic Fleet gunboat  in 1906. Relinquishing command of Wilmington, <mask> attended the United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in 1907–1908. While there, he learned about the "applicability system" or "estimate of the situation," requiring that war planning be developed through a four-step process involving "statement of mission, assessment of enemy forces and intentions, assessment of own forces, and evaluation of possible courses of action." He suggested to Raymond P<mask>, who served as President of the Naval War College from 1909 to 1911, that the Navy adopt a similar approach. Raymond P<mask> introduced it into war planning at the college during his presidency, and it has remained a part of Navy war planning ever since. In 1909, <mask> <mask> assumed command of the battleship . He then relieved Raymond P<mask> as President of the Naval War College on 20 November 1911, serving as president until 15 December 1913.He next took command of the new battleship , then in 1915 became a member of the General Board of the United States Navy in Washington, D.C. In 1916, <mask> was promoted to rear admiral and given command of the United States Atlantic Fleets Training and Service Force, the command he continued to hold after the United States entered World War I in April 1917. In this capacity, he oversaw the training of Atlantic Fleet personnel and the repair and replenishment of its ships through the end of the war in November 1918, using first the repair ship  and later the store ship  as his flagship. He received the Navy Cross for superior performance in this position. In December 1918, <mask> was promoted to vice admiral and on 7 December 1918 he took command of the United States Asiatic Fleet, a position he held until 1 September 1919. In 1920, he returned to the U.S. Navys General Board in Washington, D.C., to serve as its Senior Member, the position he held until his retirement in 1924. During this tour, he also served on the Advisory Commission to the Conference on the Limitation of Armaments in 1921–1922, and as a technical adviser to the Committee of Jurists on the Laws of War at The Hague in the Netherlands in 1923.Military and naval historian and author
<mask> had a lifelong love of military and naval history. Throughout his life, he consistently showed an interest in actual hands-on testing and physical examination of history. He wrote many articles on various historical subjects, such as the rate of fire of the Welsh longbow, which were published in various military journals and magazines of the time, and in 1907 published a book titled A Study of Attacks Upon Fortified Harbors (Artillery Notes), published by Artillery School Press. In retirement, <mask> continued to pursue his passion for military and naval history. He wrote the introduction to Captain Dudley Knoxs classic A History of the United States Navy, published in 1936. He served as president of the Naval Historical Foundation from 1933 to 1943, and donated much of his fathers book collection as well as volumes of his own collection to the United States Department of the Navy. <mask> most enduring legacy are two classic works on naval warfare he wrote in retirement, titled Greek and Roman Naval Warfare: A Study of Strategy, Tactics and Ship Design from Salamis (480 B.C.)to Actium, published in 1937, and Naval Warfare Under Oars, 4th to 16th Centuries: A Study of Strategy, Tactics and Ship Design, published in 1939. While the former work focuses on the ancient Greek and Roman world of the Mediterranean Sea, the latter work  also contains chapters on such rare topics as Viking and medieval naval warfare. <mask> was primarily a military historian who described battles and tactics, but his works also derive principles of naval warfare in the ancient and medieval worlds, and contain some detailed descriptions of archeological finds and commentary on the limitations of materials and the design of ancient and medieval naval vessels. Death
<mask> died at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on 7 May 1944, at the age of 84. He is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. Awards

<mask><mask> (born 1971) is   Kestnbaum Professor of Labor and Industry at Harvard Law School, a chair previously held by Harvard economist James L. Medoff (1947-2012). A member of the Advisory Committee of the Labour Law Research Network, he also serves (with Harvard economist Richard B. Freeman) as a faculty co-chair of the Labor and Worklife Program  at Harvard Law School. He is co-founder (with Harvard Law professor Jack Goldsmith) of the blog "Onlabor”. A specialist in the field of labor law and labor relations, <mask> teaches classes with the following titles: "Labor Law," Employment Law," and "The Law and Social Change Workshop." His publications in law reviews primarily cover labor organizing as well as the activities and legal status of unions in U.S. politics. His proposal in 2012 for reform of campaign finance rules has stimulated debate on how best to rein in corporate power after the landmark decision in Citizens United v. FEC (2010) by the Supreme Court of the United States. Biography

Career
<mask> obtained a BA from Oberlin College in  1993.He then attended  Yale Law School, receiving a JD in 1998. After graduation, he became a judicial law clerk during 1998 and 1999 for Stephen Reinhardt of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He would later publish in the Yale Law Journal  an analysis of Reinhardt’s jurisprudence in the field of labor law. Reinhardt made around 150 rulings in US labor law cases, and <mask> focused on three aspects: the  protection of workers from retaliation for organizing under provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA),the  ability of undocumented workers to assert rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the scope for unions to spend member dues on organizing new workers. <mask> worked from 1999 to 2002 as an attorney for Make the Road by Walking, a Brooklyn-based community organization representing working-class neighborhoods in New York City and Long Island. He then took the post of Assistant General Counsel for the Service Employees International Union  between 2002 and 2006. He held the Joseph Goldstein Fellowship as well as lectureship appointments at Yale Law School starting in fall 2005.He joined the Harvard Law School faculty in 2008. Academic work
<mask> writes about labor issues through the blog "onlabor.org" and   op-ed pieces that have appeared in The New York Times. In the latter, he has argued that the law should recognize “food workers” as a legal category and then offer a set of heightened employment protections to this class of employees in order to ensure food safety and public health. He has also called for greater rights for workers to form political unions at the workplace, a kind of organization that could be “unbundled” from the collective bargaining function of traditional unions. In the aftermath of the 2010 decision in Citizens United v. FEC, in which the Supreme Court ruled that corporations have broad rights to spend monies from corporate treasuries on political campaigns, <mask> wrote in the Columbia Law Review  that  since labor unions face the constraint imposed by the federal government permitting individual members to opt out and ask for a refund of dues used for political spending,  corporations should also be compelled to provide an opt-out provision for shareholders who object to political spending from corporate treasuries. In The New York Times (July 13, 2012), <mask> described what he saw as a fundamental injustice in this legal lack of symmetry: “What Citizens United failed to account for…. is that a significant portion of the money that corporations are spending on politics is financed by equity capital provided by public pension funds — capital contributions that the government requires public employees to finance with their paychecks.This consequence of Citizens United is perverse: requiring public employees to finance corporate electoral spending amounts to compelled political speech and association, something the First Amendment flatly forbids.”

<mask>’s writings about the Citizens United decision has provoked debates. Matthew T. Bodie, professor at the St. Louis University School of Law, countered in the Columbia Law Review with an interpretation suggesting that both labor unions and corporations should be regarded as economic actors pursuing business interests. In contrast to <mask>, he believes that the correct path to attaining legal symmetry is to remove the Supreme Court’s imposed rules requiring labor unions to provide opt-out rights and compensation for members. Jamin B. Raskin, professor of constitutional law at American University and majority whip of the Maryland State Senate, discussed <mask>' proposed reform delivered the 2014 Jerry Wurf Memorial Lecture at Harvard. Raskin expressed dislike for how the Supreme Court is increasingly treating corporations as political membership groups while undermining that status for labor unions. In his view, unions have much deeper provisions for democratic one-person, one-vote rules for the membership than corporations dominated by big shareholders. For Raskin, moreover, the <mask> reform ultimately cannot stem the rising tide of corporate wealth overwhelming the political system.Arguing that Citizens United represents such an acute rupture and power shift from previous rulings, he judges that rule changes <mask> proposes "would make little practical difference." He observed, “Corporations have trillions of dollars in the treasury—not from the generosity of individual political contributors but from business and investment activity completely apart from politics--and they can spend billions of dollars on political ventures quite effortlessly. The labor movement has shrunk in size, wealth, and power, and has only the dues of its embattled working-class members to contribute and spend. This is a sum measured today not in trillions or billions but in millions. Labor cannot enter a fair political fight on the terrain that has been defined by Citizens United." Honors

title: Robert Nisbet

texts:
<mask> (; September 30, 1913 – September 9, 1996) was an American sociologist, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Vice-Chancellor at the University of California, Riverside, and an Albert Schweitzer Professor at Columbia University. Life
<mask> was born in Los Angeles in 1913. He was raised with his three brothers and one sister in the small California community of Maricopa, where his father managed a lumber yard. His studies at University of California, Berkeley culminated in a Ph.D. in sociology in 1939. His thesis was supervised by Frederick J. Teggart. At Berkeley, "Nisbet found a powerful defense of intermediate institutions in the conservative thought of 19th-century Europe. Nisbet saw in thinkers like Edmund Burke and Alexis de Tocqueville—then all but unknown in American scholarship—an argument on behalf of what he called 'conservative pluralism.'"He joined the faculty there in 1939. After serving in the United States Army during World War II, when he was stationed on Saipan in the Pacific Theatre, Nisbet founded the Department of Sociology at Berkeley, and was briefly Chairman. Nisbet left an embroiled Berkeley in 1953 to become a dean at the University of California, Riverside, and later a Vice-Chancellor. Nisbet remained in the University of California system until 1972, when he left for the University of Arizona at Tucson. Soon after, he was appointed to the Albert Schweitzer Chair at Columbia. On retiring from Columbia in 1978, Nisbet continued his scholarly work for eight years at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan asked him to deliver the Jefferson Lecture in Humanities, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.He died, at 82, in Washington, DC. Ideas

Nisbet's first important work, The Quest for Community (New York: Oxford University Press, [1953] 1969), claimed that modern social science's individualism denied an important human drive toward community as it left people without the aid of their fellows to combat the centralizing power of the nation-state. New York Times columnist Ross Douthat called it "arguably the 20th century's most important work of conservative sociology." <mask> began his career as a leftist but later confessed a conversion to a philosophical conservatism. While he consistently described himself as a conservative, he also "famously defended abortion rights
and publicly attacked the foreign policy of President Ronald Reagan." He was a contributor to Chronicles. He was especially concerned with tracing the history and impact of the Idea of Progress.He challenged conventional sociological theories about progress and modernity, insisting on the negative consequences of the loss of traditional forms of community, a process that he believed was greatly accelerated by World War I. According to British sociologist Daniel Chernilo, for Nisbet, "The sociological interest in the formation of modern society lies in whether and how it can re-invigorate forms of communal life and, if not, in understanding what will be the consequences of such failure." Nisbet, thus, "inverts what had been until then the mainstream proposition that society was more important, both historically and normatively, than community." Chernilo also critically observed that Nisbet's "argument on the Great War [World War I] that marks the transition from community to society offers a one-sided view of the historical process as moving unequivocally towards a decaying condition."

<mask>ria of Serie C2. Managerial career

Early years and Serie A debut with <mask>, a sports science graduate with honours, took his first coaching job in 1990, aged 29, at Torremaggiore, of Promozione league, immediately winning the championship. The next year he joined Foggia as youth coach.In 1993, <mask> signed for Salernitana of Serie C1, and led the team to a Serie B promotion. After an unlucky comeback to Foggia, and a sixth place in Pescara, <mask> returned to coach Salernitana in 1997, leading the team to its second Serie A promotion in history. <mask> guided the team in Serie A too, but was fired in March 1999, as he was unable to lead Salernitana out of the relegation positions. Minor teams in Serie A and Serie B
A troubled year in Genoa and a poor comeback to Pescara were followed by three seasons with Lecce. <mask>, appointed as Lecce's coach in February 2002, was not able to avoid relegation to Serie B, but led the team back to Serie A just the next season, and maintained a place in the division the next year. He left Lecce in 2004 to be replaced by his maestro Zděnek Zeman, who was head coach at Foggia during <mask>'s times in leading its youth team. In December 2004, <mask> replaced Andrea Mandorlini at the helm of Atalanta B.C., last-placed in Serie A.Despite all his efforts and numerous praises, <mask> was not able to let his team escape from relegation. Lazio
Despite not saving Atalanta, his good efforts at the helm of the Dea club gained interest from Lazio, who appointed him as replacement for Giuseppe Papadopulo. His time at Lazio has been a remarkable success for which he has aroused interest from many top Serie A clubs. <mask> guided Lazio to a surprising UEFA Cup place in the 2005–2006 season, only for the place to be lost as part of the Calciopoli scandal that rocked the country in the summer of 2006. Even more remarkable, however, was <mask>'s feat the following season. Despite an initial 11-point points deduction (which was subsequently reduced to 3 on appeal), <mask> guided the biancocelesti to an unlikely third place Serie A finish and a place in the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League. However, during the 2007–08 season, he led Lazio to a disappointing 12th-place finish.On 13 May 2009, <mask> led Lazio to their first trophy since the Coppa Italia triumph in 2004. It was also a Coppa Italia victory, which came after a successful penalty shootout against Sampdoria. On 8 June 2009, <mask> <mask> was announced to have left Lazio because of personal reasons allegedly linked to an unstable working relationship with chairman Claudio Lotito. He was replaced by Davide Ballardini. Palermo
On 23 November 2009, <mask> returned into management as new head coach of Palermo, replacing Walter Zenga at the helm of the rosanero. He immediately managed to turn the fortunes of Palermo, guiding the Sicilians to quickly rise up the Serie A league table also thanks to surprise results such as two 2–0 away win against teams such as AC Milan and Juventus, and ending the season in fifth place with only one point behind fourth-placed Sampdoria who were admitted to the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round at the rosanero's expense. He was consequently confirmed as head coach of Palermo for the 2010–11 season, during which he also guided the club in its 2010–11 UEFA Europa League campaign.Impressive results in the new season included another impressive win at Juventus' home, as well as his abilities in launching youngsters as Javier Pastore, Ezequiel Muñoz, Josip Iličić and Armin Bačinović. <mask> was sacked on 28 February 2011 by club president Maurizio Zamparini following a record 0–7 home loss to Udinese; he was replaced by Serse Cosmi. However, <mask> returned at Palermo only four weeks later, after Cosmi's Palermo side was soundly defeated by Catania in the Sicilian derby later on 3 April. Following a surprising comeback, he led the club to the Coppa Italia final which the 3–1 defeat by Internazionale. During the pre-season, on 1 June 2011, <mask> resigned as Palermo manager by mutual consent with president Zamparini. Fiorentina
On 7 November 2011, <mask> returned into management as new head coach of Serie A club Fiorentina, replacing Siniša Mihajlović, dismissed because of poor results. <mask>'s debut match as Fiorentina boss ended in a 0–0 home draw against incumbent champions Milan.Afterwards, Fiorentina lost 2–0 to <mask>'s former club Palermo. He later beat Empoli 2–1 in the Coppa Italia. In the following weeks, he put Fiorentina up to 10th place in Seria A after they beat Roma 3–0. The following games however saw Fiorentina dropping into the table down to 17th place at some point, and thus involved in the fight to escape relegation. <mask>'s time with Fiorentina ended in shocking fashion. On 2 May 2012, during a home game against 19th-placed Novara, <mask> decided to substitute Serbian striker Adem Ljajić in the 32nd minute with Fiorentina losing 0–2. The player sarcastically applauded the substitution as he left the pitch and further gave the coach a sarcastic thumbs up from the dugout, to which <mask> reacted by physically assaulting Ljajić, pushing the youngster from above, then jumping after him into the dugout while attempting to punch him.After the game (ended in a 2–2 draw), the club board announced to have immediately removed <mask> from his position due to his actions, with two games still to go in the league season. The incident also cost him a three-month ban from Italian football, effective from 3 May 2012. Sampdoria
Rossi was appointed head coach of Sampdoria in December 2012 to replace Ciro Ferrara, becoming the seventh coach to work with both Genoa and Sampdoria. During his coaching tenure with the club, <mask> helped the Blucerchiati avoid relegation at the end of the 2012–13 Serie A season. On 11 November 2013, <mask> was sacked from his post, with Sampdoria in 18th position in the Serie A table having earned just 9 points and won only twice in 12 Serie A matches during the 2013–14 Serie A season. Sampdoria had lost its last three Serie A matches, including a 2–1 defeat at Fiorentina on the day of <mask>'s dismissal. <mask> hinted after the Fiorentina defeat that ‘trust’ between himself and the club was becoming an issue.“If there is a time where you do not feel that the trust is there, you should not wait to see how things unfold. I am a man of the world and I think that if the confidence is there, then it is normal that one continues, but if it is not, then it is better to end the rapport regardless of the results,” he said. Bologna
On 4 May 2015, <mask> was named the new manager of Bologna in Serie B replacing Diego López. He guided Bologna to win the promotion playoffs, defeating Pescara in the finals, and was confirmed for the club's successive Serie A campaign. He was sacked by Bologna on 28 October 2015 after a string of negative results. Levski
On 4 August 2017, <mask> was announced as the new head coach of Bulgarian club Levski Sofia. He was presented at a press conference a few days later, on 8 August 2017.After a string of 6 matches without victory, losing the final of the Bulgarian Cup and also a shock exit from Europa League at the hands of FC Vaduz, <mask> was released from his duties on 25 July 2018. Return to Palermo
On 24 April 2019, he was appointed Palermo manager for his second time. After failing to win automatic promotion to Lecce in his four games in charge, Palermo was subsequently excluded from the subsequent promotion playoffs due to financial irregularities, and he was later not confirmed by the new ownership. Ascoli
On 29 November 2020 he was named new head coach of Serie B club Ascoli. He was however sacked only less than a month later, on 22 December, after having achieved only one point in six games in charge. Managerial statistics

title: Tom Haddon

texts:
<mask> was a New Zealand rugby league player. He was Kiwi number 136 after playing two tests for New Zealand against Australia in 1919. Early life
It is unclear where <mask> was born or raised. The first clear indication of him being in Auckland is with his debut for City Rovers in the opening game of the 1918 Auckland Rugby League season. There are no records of him being born or marrying in New Zealand. At the start of 1920 he was thought to have moved to Australia to play rugby league but there are no records of him playing there after being given permission by the New Zealand Rugby League Council. Playing career

City Rovers, Auckland, and New Zealand
<mask> first appeared for City Rovers in 1918 in the Auckland Rugby League competition, playing for them against Grafton Athletic in a preliminary round to open the season.He scored a try in a Round 3 match against Grafton Athletic at Victoria Park where he “received a cross-kick and scored underneath the posts” with City going on to win 11–10. He scored against the same opponents in the second round in front of 5,000 spectators again at Victoria Park. He was selected for the Auckland team in 1918 and played in the first proper inter provincial match that Auckland had played since 1915 (when they played Thames twice, and Lower Waikato once). During the war the Auckland Rugby League had decided to largely cease its representative program. <mask>'s debut was against Canterbury and it resulted in a comfortable 45–9 victory to Auckland with <mask> scoring twice. The match was played in front of 10,000 spectators at the Auckland Domain. In 1919 <mask> was again playing for City and in a round two match against North Shore Albions on the Devonport Domain in front of 500 spectators he scored a rare try.On August 9, <mask> played for Auckland in a match against Hawke's Bay at Eden Park before a crowd of 9,000. <mask> scored 3 tries in a 38 to 13 victory. As this was to be his last game for Auckland it meant that he had scored 3 tries for his City team in 2 full seasons of club rugby league but managed to cross the line 5 times for Auckland in just 2 appearances. <mask> had been picked to tour Australia with the New Zealand team in June and July 1919 but due to circumstances was unable to make the trip. He was however selected for the 3rd and 4th tests against the touring Australian team in August/September. On September 6, <mask> became Kiwi number 136 when he played lock in front of 24,300 spectators at the Auckland Domain. New Zealand were defeated 34 to 23.In the third test also played on the Domain, New Zealand was heavily beaten by 32 points to 2 with Haddon moving into the prop position. In April, 1920 Auckland Rugby League gave its permission for Haddon to “play in any district outside Auckland”. Then on May 10 the New Zealand Rugby League Council granted him an open transfer to play in Australia as reported in The New Zealand Herald. The Auckland Star suggesting that he “will probably play in Australia”. He moved to Sydney and began the 1920 season playing for the Eastern Suburbs second grade team but broke his leg early in the season. It is unclear who he played for beyond this point. North Shore Albions
In 1925 <mask> resumed playing rugby league in Auckland, this time however he was to represent the North Shore Albions who at this time were in fact named Devonport United after amalgamating with the Sunnyside League Football Club at the start of the 1920 season.The first mention of him in a Devonport uniform is in a match against his old City Rovers team at Carlaw Park where he scored a try. The day was significant for other reasons as the teams stood in silence before the kick off out of respect for Bill Stormont (Kiwi #140) who had died two days earlier. In a July match <mask> scored a try in front of 9,000 spectators at Carlaw Park against Marist Old Boys. Devonport won but not before <mask> was sent off along with Marist's New Zealand international Jim O'Brien after a “rough-up” between the two. Devonport won the match 19–11. After a July match between Ponsonby and Devonport it was said of Haddon “it is surprising how youth sticks to some footballers. On Saturday the veteran … was easily Devonport’s best forward.He showed a lot of pace and some of the form displayed several years ago when playing for City”. Then against Athletic “<mask>, following up fast secured, and beating several Athletic players, scored behind the posts with three men hanging on to him”. He scored a second try later in the match after a “passing rush” in which all the Devonport players took part. <mask>e Rooster semi final loss to his old City Rovers team. In 1926, 27, 28, and again in 1934 Haddon played in several veteran player exhibition matches. On October 30, 1926 Haddon made an appearance in an end of season game played between well known league veterans at Carlaw Park. <mask> was representing early New Zealand rugby league legends Albert Asher’s team against William Wynyard’s team.The match finished 10-10 and featured the likes of Eric Bennett, Bill Davidson, and Thomas McClymont. In September, 1927 he was chosen in a Devonport United veteran team. Then again in October he played for Albert Asher’s team against “Shaver” Hargreaves team. The match featured Ernie Asher, Jim Rukutai, Thomas McClymont, Dougie McGregor, Billy Wynyard, Bill Davidson, George Davidson, and Bert Laing. He played in another match in 1928 between City and Ponsonby and then again in 1934 once again for Albert Asher’s team. Mt Albert Selector
