Pitt's Negro Back Criticizes Ruling NEW ORLEANS (INS). — .Pittsburgh fullback Bobby Grier feels that Sugar Bowls officials erred when they charged him with a pass interference penalty in the football game with Georgia Tech but otherwise thinks he was treated in a "sportsmanlike” manner. The penalty called Monday against Grier —first NegraJ-oplay in the bowl—on Pitt’s one-yarßTtne led to the only score of the game, which Georgia Tech won, 7 to 0. Bobby was charged with pushing Tech pass receiver Don Ellis. The husky Pjtt fullback said: "I was in front of Ellis. The only way I could have shoved him w|s to turn around and push him. He pushed me from behind.” Bobby also criticised other official rulings, complaining: "We lost the game because every time we made some headway the referee pushed us back." : Following the game, Grier attended a private party of players from both squads, officials and their wives and dates at famed old St. Charles hotel. It was believed that this marked the Jrfst time a Negro had been admitted to a social fuqeHon in the hotel. NjZincidents" were reported involving other Negro participation in the game among newsmen and spectators. Most of the Negro spectators, numbering about 4,000, sat tn a special section behind the end rone. . • The only seats sold on a nonsegregated basis were in the Pitt section—and only a few were occupied by Negroes. ________ Raleigh — In 1860 North Carolina levied special taxes on harps,, beaver hats, gold-headed canes, watches and politicians.
