RICHMOND ELECTED CAPTAIN.
Des Moines College HonOred the
Great Colored Fullback.

Members of the Des Moines college
football squad this week elected Rich
mond, their star Negro fullback, cap
tain of the 1917 squad. The election
was held following venison dinner
given members of the squad by DR..
F. E. Foulk, 1881 Ninth street.
DR.. Foulk, who is an arednt hunter
and fisher, recently returned from a
deer hunt in Minnesota, the venison
served being a part of buck that he
shot.
Richmand probably is the first
Negro in this state to be honored with
the captaincy of a football team, but
his election was merited. He was the
star of the Tigers play this fall, be-
ing a good line bucker, open field rum
ner, punter, drop kicker and forward
passer, and above all a clean player
who won the admiration of team
mates and opponents alike.
Without doubt this is the first and
greatest honor that any colored stu
dent ever received in Iowa in college.
Mr.. Richmond is at present, to our
knowledge, the only colored student
attending this college this year.
