The first black player to play for Iowa was Frank Holbrook in 1895 and 1896, in fact he was the leading scorer for Iowa in 1896. In fact, both the University of Iowa and Iowa State University have a long history of being two of the first mostly white universities to accept black students. http://nealrozendaal.com/2013/02/23/african-americans-in-hawkeye-sports-1895-1961/Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984598394592992263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-79717631227987032032017-05-26T07:59:27.389-04:002017-05-26T07:59:27.389-04:00Was Iowa college football integrated in the early ...Was Iowa college football integrated in the early 1950s? Not sure if Billy could have really been on that team.

However it really showed the decline of his character i think, his desperation to 'man up' for Hotlips. ,,,also Potter's response...Burns: These men hit me!<br /><br />Potter: what do you want me to do, kiss it and make it better..." While Blake struggled to fight Burns most of the time, Potter seemed to be the 'equalizer' that was needed to be greater counter to Burns and Hotlips earlier in season 4Peppernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-28104978464650997262009-07-16T04:11:52.591-04:002009-07-16T04:11:52.591-04:00Radar's pep talk to Billy is one of Burghoff&#...Radar's pep talk to Billy is one of Burghoff's best performances- in my mind, perfectly executed. Radar obviously learned a thing or two from watching the doctors' (save Frank) bedside manner. He is able to draw Billy out of his self-pity with a warm surefootedness that remains a joy to watch.<br /><br />Hawkeye's earlier scene is as good. And Henry Brown turns in a terrific performance throughout. You truly witness his fear and despair as he slowly lifts the blanket, terrified to look but knowing that he has to.<br /><br />Also agree with you one re: the match cuts in the opening- very effective and its a pity that the series didn't indulge in this more.<br /><br />(The "If my dog had your face..." insult was often bandied about in junior high when I was young. Wouldn't be surprised if M*A*S*H introduced it to the lexicon or at least gave it a wider airing...)What The Parrot Sawnoreply@blogger.com
