NO PLACE FOR
COLORED ATHLETES
Negroes Are Practically Barred
From Eastern College
Athletic Teams.
THERE ARE SOME FEW
NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS
Harvard Has Tolerated More
Blacks Than Any Other
Big University.

The Sunday Sentinel of Milwaukee
publishes the following interesting ar
ticle, showing how nogro students arc
kept off tho athletic teams of Eastern
colleges.
A feature Of modern athletics whici
has not attracted great deal OF at
tentioE tho campus is the strenu-
ous Ell Z I'd repeated failure OF ne
gro III, iaduates to win places on
college athletic teams. Whenever ne.
gro is found on an athletic team, es-
pccially in the East, it is because he
is so valuable that he cannot be kept
in the background The undergraduate
body has a fierce resentment toward
the sight of a negro representing the
institution on the athletic field, and
every black man who wins q place has
innumerable obstacles to overcome. In
fact, ono could almost count on the
fingers Of single hand the negro ath
letes who have become famous.
There are three negro athletes who
have won famo for their colleges equal
to that Of any of their white brothers
These are ", II. Lewis, tho famous
Harvard center rush and coach; w. c.
Matthews, also of Harvard, a shortstop
on the ball team and IN end rush in
football The University of Pennsyl-
vapia has turned out another such man
in j. B. Taylor who now holds the
intercollegiate record of 40 1-5 seconds
for the quarter-mile run.
No Show for Colored Man.
But the competition of these men
has always excited hard feelings, not
only in their own universities, but in
the rival camps, For instance, when
Matthews, the Harvard negro athlete,
displaced Randall, his rival for end,
the white man quit the team in dis
gust, and big majority Of the students
sided with him. The playing of Mat.
thews by Harvard was always distaste-
full to Yale and Princeton, and the
crimson was many times warned not to
use him. But Harvard has been es-
pecially friendly to the negro and has
had more of them in athletics than all
the other universities combined.
Never Wore Tiger Uniform.
At Princeton there is no place for
the negro, and q black man never

his place by defeating all other cnndi-
dates for the place. Thus if a negro
athlete can outrun all his competitors
there is no way to keep him off the
team. J. B. Taylor, tho University of
Pennsylvania negro who won the quar-
ter-mile at the intercollegiate in 1904,
was so far superior to the field that his
place was assured on the team from the
start. But it is peculiar that Taylor,
although a student at Pennsylvania,
has not represented the red and blue
since 1904. He has always been Gin
eligible for some reason never salts
factorily explained.
But even in track athletics, an effort
is made to keep negroes off the team.
At one big university in the East, whose
name it would not be fair to give, a
novel method has been devised BY the

objected TO playing against negro,
but it is stated that when Dartmouth
used negro on her football team
few years ago, lie was put out Of the
game on the first scrimmage. The
charge was made at the time, and never
denied, that the Princeton players took
this means to show their opposition
to the use of the negro in athletics.
Harvard Is practically the only big
Eastern university in the country
where a negro has any chance to make
a football or baseball team, At Prince
ton, Pennsylvania and Yale a negro
who applied for a place as candidate
for team would be refused even the
privilege Of practice. If he did not
know of tho sentiment existing against
him, he would be told of it quickly and
advised to turn his energies TO some
thing else. The same condition of
things would confront him in baseball
1t is easy to get rid of offensive candi~
dates for baseball and football honors.
because in these sports the men arc
chosen by coach or captain and there
is no way, outside Of mnn IS jude-
mont, for one candidate 10 prove his
ability over another. This makes il
easy to turn down all negro candi-
dates.
Taylor Is Ineligible.

terly opposed to negroes on his team
he permits the negro candidates to
train, but he makes the wouldabe
sprinters do cross-country work and
vice versa until the candidates are
forced to the conclusion that they
missed their calling when they decided
to become track athletes.
Kept Gregory on Bench.
A conspicuous example was furnished
by Yale few days ago by the case of
Gregory, the former Andover sprinter
and baseball player. Although Greg
ory was allowed to train for the nine
and proved himself tho best candidate
for his position, he was never even
given a chance TO play in a minor game,
and tired of sitting on the bench he
quit. There is evidently no future for

with all the matches they want.
That Smith and Anderson are in the
same class as Harry Vardon, Taylor,
Sandy Hurd and Braid, the tbig four -
on the other side, is generally admit
ted. A few years ago Anderson became
ern open tournament at the Euclid
Country club of Cleveland. He won out
with seventytwo-hole score of 900.
This broke the world IS record in a
championship.
