Langford Returns from Australia Faces Color Line
Sam Langford, the African American boxer, arrived in San Francisco from Australia after nearly two years away, finding few opponents willing to box him. Arthur Pelkey, the White heavyweight hopeful, declared he would draw the color line and that Jess Willard would not face a Black challenger, leaving Langford with few ready rivals east of the Rockies. Dr. C. P. Hutchings at Indiana University begins coaching courses in football, baseball, track, and basketball for coaches, while Chester L. Brewer lectures on The Theory of Coaching at the University of Missouri. The Yankee Midgets seek games for their 14-year-old team, listing a tentative lineup and players from several states.
