Racial problems may find Southern Cal on suspension

BERKELEY, Calif. UPI — The Universtiy of California, noted for academic demonstrations, faced a two-pronged upheavel today in athletics. A group called the “Black Athletes of the University of California” said Tuesday it might boycott the schools’ athletic program unless basketball coach Rene Herrerias and two assistant football coaches were

fired.

On another front, 12 white members of the varsity basketball team announced they would quit the squad unless junior Bob Presley—the star Negro center—was placed back on the suspended list. The Caucasian players repeated their stand Tuesday night, claiming in a prepared statement that the school administration had pressured Herrerias into taking Presley off the suspended list for fear of racial repercussions. “The administration feared that Presley’s dismissal would or could bring racial problems to the campus,” the statement

aaid.

“Significantly, racial problems have arisen as the result of this afternoon’s Black Athletes news conference during

which Prseley stated that Coach Herrerias should be replaced for reasons of his com-

petence.”

Pete Newell, Cal's athletic director, met for nearly an hour Tuesday night with the Negro group. “Nothing was resolved,” said Bob Smith, a star California football player who has become spokesman for the Black Athletes. “But Mr. Newell has become aware of our grievances and now that much at least has been accomplished, so we’ll give him time to make a statement or form an opinion.” Smith's organization asked at a Tuesday afternoon news conference that Herrerias be discharged along with football aides William Dutton and Joe Marvin. The group cited “their inability or unwillingness to relate to Black Athletes and general incompetence.” The organization also listed such other alleged abuses to Negro athletes as failure by the universtiy to provide them good jobs, and a tendency by members of the athletic department to “ridicule” them. They also ; complained of poor housing for Negro athletes and the fact that coaches viewed injuries as signs of “goldbricking.”
