Big TEN SCHOOLS MAINTAIN
BARS AGAINST RACE CACERS

Colored athletes have brok e n
down the -barriers at most of the
universities I'm the Big Ten. Very
few OF the big universities are not
giving the colored athlete a chance
OH the gridiron.
However. IL Is a little different In
basketball The same old racial
barrier that once confronted the
colored athletes in football is prov
ing a bogey man 10 those seeking
laurels on the hardwood court.
Just why this condition prevails
is not easily explained.
Some attribute Il TO cowardliness.
while others claim that il is just
plain cussedness.
Take the case OF Young fellow
who has enrolled at Of the Big
Ten universities. He was selected
as a member Of the all-state eleven
two years ago. yet he has not been
given a chance to try for a position
on the university squad.
While there are so many who
are denied the opportunity to play
with the Big Ten clubs, there are
other schools which are giving
them a chance. The University OF
Detroit Is a good example.
