Papers or presentations should be planned for no more than twenty minutes and should emphasize audience involvement and aim at stimulating questions and discussion. Media presentations are especially welcomed. We will be happy to supply TV/VCRs and/or slide projectors. Please check the conference web site for any newly added AV equipment. Topics related to any and all aspects of sports and sports history in the Southwest and in Texas are especially invited.

The absolute deadline for a 250-word abstract is November 15, 2002. Inquiries about possible papers or proposals for sessions are also welcomed. There will be a strict limitation of one presentation per person for this conference. All presenters must register for the convention and be a current member of either the PCA or the ACA.
