Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-11-08

CURPRISES IN football usually take place
- on the gridiron, as when some low-rated
teachers college topples big-time team.
However, one of the big surprises of this
season took place before the college year
even started. Otto Graham, former ALL
America at Northwestern and for 10 years
from 1916 to 1855 the quarterbacking and
pass-tossing star of the Cleveland Browns
professional team, accepted the post Of
coach for the virtually unheard-of team
fielded by the Coast Guard Academy at
New London, Conn.
Graham, who could have taken his
choice of a dozen top-drawer coaching
posts, had never even heard Of the Academy
until its officials contacted him last spring
to propose that he join them. They didn't
figure Graham would accept, but no harm
in asking But, as Graham explains it, the
Academy offer was just what he was looking
for 1t provided security and way OF life
that he could not hope to duplicate with
coaching job at a big-time school.
For one thing according to the 37-year-
old coach, he won't be under the win-or-
quit pressure that often hounds and harries
top college and pro mentors. Nor is there
pressure to sign up star high schoolers.
Since football is considered a subsidiary
activity at the Academy, it doesn't much
matter who wins as long as players derive
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-11-08
Coaching the Coast Guard

the basic benefits of playing any sport,
namely, development of physique and
character.
To Graham, having hand in pro-
gram of this kind is more than enough
compensation for any loss he had to take
in accepting the Coast Guard post. He
earns about 5000 year at the Academy
as against probably twice that price had he
accepted another position. Also, he's had
to give up a lucrative insurance business
in Cleveland, which he spent some eight
years developing. Yet, Graham feels, there
are higher values in life than money"
Graham and his wife Beverly and their
three children, Duene, IL; Sandra Lee, IL,
and David, 8, have moved to Old Lyme,
Conn, just IS minutes away from the
Academy. Temporarily living in rented
quarters, they are building home of their
own there, and this is a measure of Ora
hams expectations of how long he may be
coaching at New London.
Commissioned a commander when he
accepted the Coast Guard job, Graham is
also slated to take over as the Academys
director of athletics, spot which will make
him one of the top administrators at the
school, Though watching from the side
lines now, Graham will still be close to the
game in which he was one Of the all-time
all-StarS.

Plight On Outsiders

that ensved, although more
than fifty were arrested by To-
cal police.
"A Federal judge failed TO
provide United States marshals
TO enforce indignation at a criti-
cal time,' he continues. THE
governor of Arkansas failed to
use his power to uphold the law.
In fact, Gov. Orval +. Faubus
used his office in a demagogic
and opportunistic manner that
brought about a breakdown OF
law and order"
Noting that the most effective
opposition to the Little Rock
plan came from outside the city,
Blossom says, 1t was initiated
by scgregationists in other sec
tons of Arkansas and in other
southern states where leaders Of
such organizations as the White
Citizens Council decided their
own purposes would be best
served by using their money and
their influence to force a fight
to the finish against indignation
at Little Rock rather than in
their own home territory"
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1959-05-23

The blame for Little Rocks
school indignation crisis was
traced to a lack of positive lead
ership at the state and Federal
levels and to an organized oppo-
sition from outside the city.
Putting the finger on them was
Virgil T. Blossom, whose posi-
ton as school superintendent in
the Arkansas capital made him
the man in the middle" Of that
situation.
His view, outlined in Part One
of a copyrighted report, THE
Untold Story OF Little Rock" in
the current MAY 23) issue OF
The Saturday Evening Post, is
that public opinion was right for
Little Rock to become known as
the community that provided a
reasonable solution to the tre-
mendously difficult problem OF
school dcsegregation.
However, u wasn't 10 work
out that way and Blossom
points out that the Department
OF Justice failed TO indiet or
