OSU Coach Says
Couldn't Win
Without Negroes
QREENSBORO — “We had
a ‘Negro Problem', once I know.”
said Woodrow Woody Hayes,
head fo6tbalI coach at Ohio State
University, as he made the main
address at the Tip-Off Dinner
for the annual A. and T. Col
lege Clinic held last week at the
college.
He expaKned, "Tljat w^s in
1959, when we had no Negroes •coordlng
on the team and we^ost four
football games. I hope that we
will never again have a problem
like that.”
Hayes, who spent three-days
here as chief clinician in foot
ball, had high praise for the con
tribution the Negro athlete has
made to the sports world and
said, “His advancement in this
field has served to develop with
in me the highest ^nfidence in
the value of sports."
The dinner session, held on
Tuesday evening, drew a mixed
audience of more than 150-per
sons, composed chiefly of mem
bers of the Greensboro Aggie
Boosters Club, Ohio State Uni-
v.ersity alumni and early arrival*
among the participants in the
