Thus, in 1891, the West Virginia Legislature voted $10,000 to purchase a tract ofland at Farm, West Virginia and build a suitable school building to house the West Virginia Colored Institute. A barn and a blacksmith shop were soon added, and the first school catalog boasted that "a well chosen library of 500 volumes" was now open to students on Saturday afternoons. Early presidents of the Colored Institute were J. Edwin Campbell, John H. Hill, J. McHenry Jones and Byrd Prillerrnan. In 1915, the school's name was changed to West Virginia Collegiate Institute, and President Prillerman conferred degrees upon the first college graduates four years later. John W.

  • The Pasadena NFL/Rose Bowl Merry-Go-Round Times Have Changed; the Rose Bowl Is Unique Pasadena Has Squabbled About Rose Bowl Use Since the 1980S
    The Pasadena NFL/Rose Bowl Merry-Go-Round Times have changed; the Rose Bowl is unique Pasadena has squabbled about Rose Bowl use since the 1980s. I. The Big Bowls/why did postseason football begin in Pasadena rather than in Flor- ida, much closer to where football began? The Rose Bowl game came first and was always different. It started in 1902 as part of the Tournament of Roses celebration. It was the "Tournament East-West football game”; bowl games didn’t exist in 1902. Michigan crushed Stanford 49-0. Stanford asked to stop the slaughter with 8 minutes remaining, and Michigan agreed. Michigan’s famous ‘point-a-minute’ team were unbeaten and unscored upon during their eleven games. They scored 550 points, opponents 0. The bowl idea came from the Yale Bowl, built in 1914. Harvard built the world’s first all con- crete and steel stadium in 1903 in a horseshoe shape. The Yale Bowl was widely admired; later stadiums often copied its shape. The original Pasadena stadium, built in 1922, had a horseshoe shape. Its open south end was closed in 1929, and its seating capacity rose from 57,000 to 76,000. East Coast college football was very popular 100 years ago. Harvard stadium (1903) originally seated 57,000 and the Yale Bowl 70,000. Wealthy Northerners often took Florida winter va- cations in those days, but Florida was thinly settled and tourists came for the beaches. Mil- lionaire Henry Flagler built the Florida East Coast Railway and luxury hotels in St. Augustine and Palm Beach in the 1890s, but Miami wasn’t even incorporated until 1896.

  • Forgotten Heroes
    Forgotten Heroes: Chaney White by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2020 Hilldale (1921) Ed Bolden became associated with the Hilldale Athletic Club of Darby, PA in 1910. Over the years, Bolden transformed this youth team into the most powerful professional black team in the East during the 1920’s. Chaney White joined the Hilldale Club in July of 1920 and became a starter in their outfield. Box scores have been found for seventy (70) games that Chaney played for Hilldale during the 1921 season. He compiled an impressive .390 (101 for 259) batting average in these seventy games. Hilldale played an independent schedule and was an associate member of the Negro National League in 1921. Bolden’s team compiled an overall record of 105-41-3 (.719) in all games played and a won-loss record of 22-16-1 (.570) in games against Negro National League opponents for the 1921 baseball season.

Chaney Leonard “Reindeer” White was born on April 15, 1894 in Longview, Texas. White stood five feet ten inches tall and weighed approximately195 pounds during his playing career. He batted from the right hand side of the plate and threw left handed. Physically, he was a unique individual. Once a newspaper sports writer described him as “being built like King Kong but he could run like Jesse Owens.” White was known as one of the best hitters of his day.
