Star

ANN ARBOR, Mich April 2
Franklin Lett, freshman student at
the University of Michigan, and
former all-State center on the Battle
Creek (Mich.) high school basketball
team and all-State end on that
schools football team, has been bar
red from the university's freshman
basketball team because Of his color.
In explaining his reason for dis
eliminating against the young Ne
gro athlete, head basketball coach
Franklin Cappon, has stated:
There has never been a cOlored
boy to play basketball in the Big Ten.
1t has been a mutual agreement be-
tween the coaches not to use a color
ed boy in basketball. There is no rule
in the Big Ten in writing that says
a boy cannot play because Of his
color, but just this 'unwritten agree
ment' of the coaches to keep them
out. No other Big Ten school has
used a colored boy, and / do not want
to break the ice That would put me
ON the spot, so to speak"
Nevertheless, Coach Cappon finds
himself on the spot from another di-
rection. In response to a complaint
received from DR.. Adonis Patterson
Of Battle Creek, both the local branch
of the NAACP. and the National Of
flee have taken immediate action.
Protests have been sent to Coach
Cappon. to President Alexander
Ruthven, of the university, the Presi-
dent of the Battle Creek Chamber of
Commerce, who as head of the local
Michigan Alumni Association has
promised to do his utmost to break
down the color bar, and to Represen-
tative Kulp of the Congressional Dis
trict who has placed the matter be-
fore the University Board of Regents
In a sharp letter to Coach Cappon,
Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary of
the NAACP. denounced "the gratui-
tous insult to young Lett personally
and to the race Of which he happens
to be a member" and, pointing to
such Observation-Disclosures Michigan
athletes as DeHart Hubbard, Eddie
Tolan and Willis Ward, declared that
the color bar "can be interpreted as
nothing less than gross ingratitude
for their services" After calling at
to the fact that the Univer-
sity of Michigan is a unsupported
Institution supported by and main
5ained for all Of the States citizens,
Mr.. Wilkins concludes:
mo university in the Big Ten

sue squarely to the fore than the

is unquestioned. Its effect
