Grambling College Story on TV lues., July 30
„ NEW YORK, N. Y.—The in-
EJ
triguing story of Grambling
College and its extraordinary
football team and coach, Eddie
Robinson, will be told in a one
hour ABC-TV color special
"Grambling College: 100 Yards
to Glory" Tuesday, July 30
(8:30-930 p.m. EDT).
"Grambling College: 10 0
Yards To Glory," which was
aired on WABC-TV in New
York City last January, is nar
rated by ABC newsman Bill
Beutel and is being presented
on the full ABC-TV network for
the first time.
If you've heard of Gramb
ling College it's probably be
cause of the sensational athletic
teams and the football squads
in particular produced by this
comparatively small school.
In the heart of the hilly, red
clay Louisiana countryside, the
Grambling campus covers 380
acres and has a student body
in excess of 4,000, approxi
mately one-third of them male
students.
An inordinately high per
centage of these student-ath
letes have found their way into
professional football. Or has
professional football found
them?
More tlan 60 Grambling
alumni haw signed with pro
clubs in thf U. S. and Canada
during the past 20 years. In
1088, 28 Grambling graduates,
veterans and rookies alike,
will report to NFL and AFL
training campus.
The story of Grambling sad

roughly competent coach, Ed

cess through perseverance and
hard work. Together. Gram*

Racism Bars Black Athletes
From Top Status Says Article
NEW YORK, - In spite of
twenty yean of progress, "pro
fessional sport still likes Its Ne
groes on the back of the bus,"
says Jack Olsen in Part IV of
his "The Black Athlete - a
Shameful Story" in Sports
Illustrated this week. The un
derlying attitude of allowing
the Negro to "help out" in a
white man's game persists and
positions requiring thought and
leadership are withheld from
him. Football is the most
rigidly patterned, says Olsen.
He points out that no Negro
had ever been established - and
seldom has been tried - as a
starting quarterback. In base
ball he is rarely allowed to be
-a pitcher, and in all sports
(even in basketball where the
greats are so predominently
Negro) coaching and front of
fice opportunities have been
practically non-existent. When
the Negro is througii as a com
petitor, says SI, his sport has
no furhter use for him.
Only the champion Green
Bay Packers get a glowing bill
of health from Olsen. They,
he writes, "partly because of
geography, partly because they
are winners and certainly be
cause of Vlnce Lombard!, have
a racial rapport that-unfor

tunatefy- is unique In pro
fessional sport." For the rest,
Olsen found that the life of th«
average pro black athlete,
though much better than that
of his counterpart on a col
lege campus, still produces sig
nificant racial problems, some
of them quite different than
those of the college sthlete.
Except in the esses of s few
superstars in professional sport,
according to Sports Illustrated,
the black athlete "watches
helplessly as racial bias and
discrimination on snd off the
field erode his earning power,
restrict his opportunities for
success and deny him part of
the reward for his achieve
ments." Reported as the most
objectionable aspects are:
The Negro must be measur
ably better than a white man
playing the same position
Negroes are stacked at cer
tain positions in order to leave
other spots open for whites
TTie quota system is an ac
cepted fact-only so many
blacks per position per team
Personal prejudice, often
detrimental to team perform
ance, is rampant.
