Seems inconsequential in the post civil rights era. I am not sure they were not allowing black athletes on the swim team but it is just as well it was shut down regardless. I have been following this team for over 35 years and this is the first I have ever heard of the guy? I am all for celebrating the greats Bradley, Dobras, Jones etc… have never heard a Peep about this guy but if Trips thinks it worthy of a thread and if I think it is worthy of opining then So be it, it is worth celebrating. #go Bulls!
