The football public for years has assumed that I began college the usual w'ay on a free ride. Until now, I have never; bothered to set the record: straight, probably because no-; body has asked me. I believe, however, that my story' bears telling, for it may impress upon our universities and their coaches particularly those in the south who inevitably must accept Negro athletes the importance of judging each in- dividual on his merit.s In the summer of was still trying to make up my mind where to enroll. left it to Kd WaLsh. my Manhasset high school coach, to screen the offers, because I had complete faith in him.

They thought I had potential as an athlete and human being, and they wanted me to be close enough that they could keep an eye on me.

Three goal I line stands and some murder- 'ous line blocking paved way for Jeffer- victory, which shook the roost just before the state playoffs open. Benefitting from the outcome without stirring from their firesides were the MacArthur mas, who moved into a tie for the district championship with the Owls, though the latter had a state playoff berth already cinched.

A pair of long marches, each of 73 yards, brought Jefferson touchdowns on time consuming drives with quarterback Dennis Nicmeyer scoring on a 2-yard plunge and tailback Howard Smith on a 5-yard smash. Fittingly, the second Mustang touchdown went entirely to the linemen, as Eddie Harrell led a four man wave through to block a punt attempt by Greg Fehrenkamp, and Randy Anderson fell on the ball in the end zone for a Mustang touchdown. This completely offset the usual fireworks of the Owls, with fleet James Armstrong again lighting the fuse for itpjlies. Armstrong raced 85 yards with a kickoff return to pull the Owls back into the contest shortly before halftime, and then he took a 30 yard soiithwf 'ST pass from Robert Alvarez in the 3 tcu 0 end zone for the second.

Farris was a terrific guy. a shame you here to meet Others at Syracuse thought less of him. I heard many things said of him.

They said he once bought a car and charged it to the school. They said he was the jreatest lover who ever walked the Syra- cu.se campu.s. They said he was a smooth talker who could lead others by the no.se. I They said that coeds wa.shed his argyle socks for him that he never had lo do his own laundry. They he once got into a dispute with the freshman basket ball coach and punched him.

They coeds came out to the and sang to him while he practiced And here was the real rub: Marion Farris dated some of those coeds. Regardless, what did Marion Farris mean to me? never met the man.

Just because I happen to be I was the only Negro on the football I had no idea whether Marion Farris had been a villain or a campus hero (remember, many praised him), but one thing I did know was the fact that 1 was James Nathaniel Brown, not Marion Farri.s. I had come to Syracii.se to get an education and play at sports, I had not come to date white girls.

I had no intention of charging a car to the school. I was willing to wash my own socks. So why pick on me? It to me that everything as upside-d own at Syracuse.
