A clean blow, nothing like the jagged map the nurse’s needle made in closing it. I was the only kid at the Topeka Public Library asking for books about the Black Sox Scandal, begging the other kids to grab bats when they preferred football. Like the oversize glasses I wore, I’d been lifted from another era. My family didn’t own a television, so I’d lay awake at night listening to Fred and Denny call the games on the radio. In the dark, I could smell the wet grass, chalk, and dust, see the pitcher framed by floodlights. I loved baseball as I rarely loved anything else, loved baseball even when it did not love me back.","PeriodicalId":158830,"journal":{"name":"Sports Bar","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114965649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photograph Collection, Ph.C.121. Online at Flickr. [2]Football is an exceptionally popular sport in North Carolina at the high school, college, and professional level. The first colleges to field football teams in the state were Trinity College [3] (later Duke University [4]), the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill [5], and Wake Forest University [6]. The first intercollegiate games were played in 1888. Many of the state's football pioneers, most notably Trinity president John Franklin Crowell [7], learned the game on northern campuses. North Carolina A&M (now North Carolina State [8]), Davidson College [9], and other schools started playing football in the 1890s. Livingstone College [10] hosted Biddle Institute (now Johnson C. Smith University [11]) on 27 Dec. 1892 in history's first intercollegiate football game played between black colleges.","PeriodicalId":158830,"journal":{"name":"Sports Bar","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131147394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
