Tech Students Protests Over Governors Racial Policy
In Atlanta hundreds of Georgia Tech students burned Gov. Marvin Griffin in effigy and marched to the governor’s mansion in protest of a plan to bar schools from contests with teams that include Negro players. About 500 students demonstrated at the governor’s mansion. The governor urged that state schools avoid games with Negro players or segregated crowds. Tech has a Sugar Bowl contract with Pittsburgh and halfback Bobby Grier, a Negro, on the Pittsburgh squad. Sugar Bowl officials may sell tickets to any fans. President Blake Van Leer declined comment on the telegram and indicated Tech will likely play. Police reported only minor damage after the three hour protest.
