A protest at Kidd Field followed UTEP’s refusal to reinstate nine track and field Negro athletes who boycotted a prior meeting. About 25 demonstrators chanted reinstatement as police guarded the four team meet with Wisconsin New Mexico State and Western New Mexico present. The event was stopped twice when 11 Negro women blocked the track, the 440 relay was scratched, and the 120 yard hurdles run again. No arrests were reported. The boycott was part of a dispute over BYU and Utah State relations with Black athletes.
