He was a legend. I have never heard the All Howard Team. Does anybody know to find a list?

Oh, YES! Peter Cook was a member of my class - '52. Pete was also in my ROTC military science class (Corps of Engineers). Peter was a great football player and was so versatile. He was also very popular and well liked. When I saw the class of 52 ring on you site, I figured there might be a connection. Thanks for sharing!!

There are few living today that were hit by "Black Cat." He was one of the greatest of all time. A few of Howard's favorites during the forties/fifties were Fred Cone, Black Cat Barton, Ray Clanton, Frank Gillespie, Glen Smith, Billy Hair, Ray Matthews, Bobby Gage, Windham, et al. I'm so thankful that I got to watch them play. Now, I too am 90 and a proud Tiger!

A powerful leader in American higher education and instrumental in the development of the upstate. Very few men could match his drive and focus.
