NEW YORK, (GlobaD-We find
a great deal of satisfaction in the
things we have been seeing and
hearing these past few years in the
field of sports, and the news that
j. c. Caroline, sensational ALI
American halfback of the Univer-
Sity of Illinois, has been elected
Captain of his team, gives us an
other charge"
We remember something of the
history of that Illinois situation
and we know how impossible it
was for a Negro to even get near
the team during the regime of Bob
Zuppke, who was coach at Illinois
for 20 years. When he retired in
the late sos, things began to look
"a little different and Negroes were
given a chance The whole institu-
tion must be happy that they were.
Something of that same situation
prevailed at Yale University, but
when Herman Hickman took over
the job as coach in the 40's, some
changes took place with regard to
Negroes participating in sports. AS
a result of this new attitude, Levi
Jackson, outstanding halfback, was
chosen Captain of the team.
1t appears, therefore, that the
coaches have had great deal to
do with Negroes getting a break
on these teams. While coaches gen.
orally may not help to shape the
overall policies of the school, still,
if some of them had had the ccur-
age long ago to "go down the line"
for Negro players, they undoubted-
ly, would have been able to break
down the barriers much sooner.
