Interesting. I wonder if these rules contributed to Jack Trice staying in the game even after being injured.


1922: Try for point introduced. Ball brought out five yds. from goal line for scrimmage, allowing try for extra point by place kick, drop kick, run, or forward pass.

Try for point after TD from five yard line.

Players withdrawn during the first half may not return until the second half. Players withdrawn during the second half may not return to the game.

Hello, maybe you saw the thread about the Iowa State WBB time machine maybe you didn't. Either way, this is the same concept.

Recaps/box scores, occasional photos and eventually video will be hyperlinked after the opponent from each game, if it is available.

1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
I'm looking at the '40's here, men's FB
When did Iowa State start integrating Black players? I'm guessing sometime in the '50's?

Follow up question: Black players at ISU for basketball?

Jack Trice passed away in 1923. He was the first African-American to play CFB for Iowa State.

John Crawford was Iowa State's first African-American basketball player (1955-1958)

By comparison to the south:

First Texas Longhorn African-American football player was Julius Whittier in 1970 and Larry Robinson in 1971 for Texas Longhorn basketball.

Yes, and I am aware of that.. but thanks for the reminder. What I was wondering, when did ISU begin recruiting more than 1-2 black players for the FB team? When was there greater integration? Was it in the late 50's, or the early to mid 60's?
