Mrs. Trice Greene's daughter, Betty Armstrong, visited campus with her husband, Herbert, in 1988 to view the Jack Trice memorial statue and campus, and the couple had shared photographs from their visit with Mrs. Trice Greene. IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY of Science and Technology DATE: August 16, 1988 TO: Stan Yates FROM: Dave Lendt RE: Letter from Mrs. Greene Enclosed please find what I believe is a remarkable letter to be added to the Jack Trice archives. Several months ago, President Eaton's office received a letter from a Mrs. Betty Armstrong of Youngstown, Ohio, referring to an article about Jack Trice that had appeared in Jet magazine. Mrs. Armstrong revealed that the widow of Jack Trice had remarried and that she is the mother of Mrs. Armstrong. At the President's request, we responded to the inquiry with various printed materials and correspondence. We also invited the Armstrongs, who were planning to drive to San Francisco for a professional meeting, to stop in Ames, visit the campus and see the Jack Trice statue. Betty and Herbert Armstrong did just that. We showed them the statue and introduced them to Carver Hall and the Carver-Wallace legacy. They shot a lot of photos and videotape which they planned to take to Betty's mother, who resides in Pomona, CA. I have been out of town for about three weeks. On my return, I found this very touching letter from Cora Mae Trice Greene, which had been delivered during my absence. I've written to ask her permission to have it placed in your archives. gm Enclosure Lendt, David.

In 1922, Trice became the first African-American student athlete at Iowa State, participating in track and football. He majored in animal husbandry, with the desire to go to the southern U.S. and use his knowledge to help Black farmers. In the summer after his freshman year, Trice married Cora Mae Starland. They both found jobs in order to support themselves through school. On October 6, 1923, Jack Trice played in his first college football game against the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. During the second play of the game, he broke his collarbone. He insisted he was all right and returned to the game. In the third quarter, University of Minnesota players forced Trice to the ground and crushed him. On October 8, he died from internal bleeding due to injuries received during the game. In 1973, Jack Trice's legacy was renewed and a promotion began to name Iowa State's new stadium after him. In 1974, the Iowa State University Government of Student Body unanimously voted to endorse this effort. In addition, the Jack Trice Stadium Committee compiled more than 3,000 signatures of supporters. An Iowa State University ad hoc committee voted to advise President Robert Parks to name the stadium "Cyclone Stadium." In 1984, the stadium was named "Cyclone Stadium" and the playing field was named "Jack Trice Field." The Government of Student Body, wanting to do more to honor Trice, raised money to erect a statue of Trice in 1987.

Brewer, University of Mo., Columbia, Missouri. Dear Mr. Brewer: I have your good favor of recent date relative to the Saturday's game. It has been understood for several years by the faculty members of the schools in Iowa and Nebraska that colored men could not be used on teams playing with schools from the states of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. There is no written rule on the subject, only a gentlemens agreement. We had no intention of using Jack Trice in the game with you. However that is all settled because Jack's injury resulted in his death Monday afternoon. I am handing you herewith copy of letter Jack wrote the day before the game. From the letter one would not help feel that Jack must have had premonition of what actually happened. I am very glad on account of Missouri Valley that you have returned to the fold. With kindest personal regards, I am, Yours cordially and sincerely, SWB:LM Beyer, Samuel W.; RS 21/07/023 Iowa State University Library Special Collections: http://www.add.lib.iastate.edu/spcl/index.html 1923-10-10 2009-04-14 U.S. and international copyright laws protect this digital image.

Dear Professor Beyer: We understand from newspaper reports that you have a colored man playing with your football squad this Fall. I am quite sure, Professor Beyer, you know conditions here, and know it is impossible for a colored man to play or even appear on the field with any team. This has been discussed in the Missouri Valley for a good many years and I know that you understand the tradition that a colored man cannot come here. This whole question is bigger than our athletics and there is no alternative for us other than to say that we cannot permit a colored man on any team that we play. I am writing your Mr. Otapolik also, be- cause I did not want any misunderstanding or confusion late in the week. I hope to see you some time during the Fall and renew our friendship of the old days.

IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY of Science and Technology DATE: August 16, 1988 TO: Stan Yates FROM: Dave Lendt RE: Letter from Mrs. Greene Enclosed please find what I believe is a remarkable letter to be added to the Jack Trice archives. Several months ago, President Eaton's office received a letter from a Mrs. Betty Armstrong of Youngstown, Ohio, referring to an article about Jack Trice that had appeared in Jet magazine. Mrs. Armstrong revealed that the widow of Jack Trice had remarried and that she is the mother of Mrs. Armstrong. At the President's request, we responded to the inquiry with various printed materials and correspondence. We also invited the Armstrongs, who were planning to drive to San Francisco for a professional meeting, to stop in Ames, visit the campus and see the Jack Trice statue. Betty and Herbert Armstrong did just that. We showed them the statue and introduced them to Carver Hall and the Carver-Wallace legacy. They shot a lot of photos and videotape which they planned to take to Betty's mother, who resides in Pomona, CA. I have been out of town for about three weeks. On my return, I found this very touching letter from Cora Mae Trice Greene, which had been delivered during my absence. I've written to ask her permission to have it placed in your archives. gm Enclosure Lendt, David.

Beyer informing Chester L. Brewer of Jack Trice's death, as well as Beyer's acknowledgement of the racial segregation agreement among the sports teams. October 10, 1923. Mr. C. L. Brewer, University of Mo., Columbia, Missouri. Dear Mr. Brewer: I have your good favor of recent date relative to the Saturday's game. It has been understood for several years by the faculty members of the schools in Iowa and Nebraska that colored men could not be used on teams playing with schools from the states of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. There is no written rule on the subject, only a gentlemens agreement. We had no intention of using Jack Trice in the game with you. However that is all settled because Jack's injury resulted in his death Monday afternoon. I am handing you herewith copy of letter Jack wrote the day before the game. From the letter one would not help feel that Jack must have had premonition of what actually happened. I am very glad on account of Missouri Valley that you have returned to the fold. With kindest personal regards, I am, Yours cordially and sincerely, SWB:LM Beyer, Samuel W.; RS 21/07/023 Iowa State University Library Special Collections: http://www.add.lib.iastate.edu/spcl/index.html 1923-10-10 2009-04-14 U.S. and international copyright laws protect this digital image.
