MAJOR LGAOOC 0ALlfftRK5,
BEAUMONT (AP) — Blacks here
plan to start a boycott of high school
football games today, but black ath
letes say they will still battle it out on
the field when football season opens.
Last March, some black commu
nity leaders drafted a statement con
demning Beaumont Independent
School District practices, which they
said promoted white coaches and ad
ministrators over black ones. Today
is the first day called by the group
for the boycott, officially termed a
“stay away.’’
“1 am going to participate in the
stay away,” said black school board
member Zenohia Bush. “My daugh
ter is very upset because I am going
to make her stay away from games.
As long as the protest movement
goes on, I will not let her go.”
Bush’s daughter is a sophomore at
West Brook High School.
Bush resigned as secretary of the
Beaumont school district Wednes
day to protest what she termed ra
cially segregated policies, but will re
main on the hoard as a member.

Part of the controversy started in
February, when the school board
merged four Beaumont high schools
into two. There were two black and
two white football coaches at those
schools. Both white coaches got head
coaching positions after the mergers
of South Park with West Brook, and
Charlton-Pollard with French — the
latter two forming Central High
School.
“The coaches have a valid protest
that the district just won’t listen to,”
Bush said. “They (school officials)
are closing their eyes and hoping it
will go away.”
But black football players say they
will continue to play.

“I have relatives who don’t want
me to play,” said Central senior Dar
rin West. “But I’m playing for my
self. They didn’t want me to play be
cause of racial problems like blacks
getting demoted. But if one man’s
better than the other, I hope he gets
the job. That’s how I feel.”
Sophomore Jack Read, one of six
white players out of 51 practicing at
Central, said no one has mentioned
racial problems.

“We just went through two-a-days
together and we’re all just getting
along,” he said.
Mike Mitchell, who was head
coach at Charlton-Pollard and is now
head junior high varsity coach at
Central, says there is no racial prob
lem among the coaches or players.
The other black school board
member, Johnnie Ware, said the
only participants in the boycott he
knew of would be the ones who engi
neered it.
“I plan to go to the game Friday
because I’m on the school board
which sponsors (the team),” he said.
LUFKIN (AP) — A youth who
wanted to play high school football
an extra year and earn a diploma al
most pulled off a hoax that could
have forced the Lufkin football team
to forfeit its games this season,
coaches say.
The player, who last week was be
ing praised for his skills as a running
hack, was dismissed from the Pan
ther team Wednesday after it was
discovered he was using an assumed
name and had played football for
nearby Center for four years.
Lufkin football coaches uncov
ered the hoax after the real Rode
rick Johnson showed up for classes
at Center on the first day of school
Tuesday.
The skillful running back actually
was Robert Johnson, a two-time All-
District 18-3A running back for
Center, school officials say.
Robert Johnson never graduated
from Center and tried to use Rode
rick Johnson’s name to enter Lufkin
High School, get his diploma and
gain an extra year of football,
coaches say.
The hoax was discovered only
three clays before the Panthers’ foot
ball season opener against Jasper, in
which Johnson was scheduled to
start.
“Needless to say, we’re very happy
that we caught it when we did,” Luf
kin Head Coach Pat Culpepper said.
“If we had played him m a football
game, we would’ve had to forfeit
that game. And if we hadn’t found
out about it until the end of the sea
son, it would’ve cost us a whole sea-
reached for comment by The
dated Press.
