  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.

    UFA 5 Interviewee: Ray Graves Interviewer: Julian Pleasants Date: July 15, 1997 P: It is the fifteenth of July. This is Julian Pleasants talking with Ray Graves in his home in Tampa. Coach, tell me when and where you were born. G: I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, on December 31, 1918. I grew up in Knox County. My father entered the Methodist ministry, and we lived in a lot of parsonages in east Tennessee during the Depression. P: What was Inskip, Tennessee like? G: Inskip was a little suburb of Knoxville. I know Tom McEwen [Tampa Tribune sports editor] has referred to that many times, where is Inskip and what is it? I do not know what it is, but it was home for a while and we enjoyed living there. In fact, after I left pro-ball, we went back to Knoxville. My wife taught school out in Inskip, so that place is a little memory that I will always enjoy. P: And you went to high school there? G: Moving around with my father (the Methodists move around a little bit), who was a pastor of several churches in east Tennessee, I went to high school for two years at Dayton, moved in the middle of my second year to Rockwood where I went to high school for two years, and then moved to Knoxville and finished up at Central High School in Knoxville, Tennessee. I moved from Dayton to Rockwood during the basketball season. I had been on the basketball team in Dayton and then wound up in Rockwood playing against Dayton before the season was over.

Dyreson Professor of Kinesiology Scott R. Kretchmar Professor of Exercise and Sport Science David Conroy Professor of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT Although an agricultural land grant school such as The Pennsylvania State University, located in a rural valley in central Pennsylvania, is not commonly thought of as a bastion of race relations, Penn State University possesses a storied and interesting racial integration history. An important component of this unique history centers on the university’s celebration of successful African American athletes during the mid-twentieth century. This thesis argues that through the public admiration of these individuals, the university cultivated a reputation as a racially progressive and tolerant institution. This reputation allowed the university to ignore and diminish issues of racial discrimination on campus. Ignorance of the inequalities faced by students of color functioned to create an “artificial harmony” in the community. However, this paper will show that as time went on, astute student activists recognized the power afforded Nittany Lion athletics and employed that visibility in an attempt to garner increased support for African American acceptance at the university.
