Schwartzwalder (1909-1993). Schwartzwalder recruits Davis with the help of All-American running back| Jim Brown. The civil rights movement is gaining steam; Davis
experiences prejudice on campus| in town| and on the field| sometimes from teammates. How he handles it and how he challenges Schwartzwalder to stand up for his
players provide a counterpoint to several great seasons that lead first to a national championship and then to the Heismann Trophy.
