Inside his hotel room that night, there was no way Trice could have known what would happen the next day in Iowa State's game against Minnesota, the second of his college football career. But the words he wrote alone that night were uncanny.
Jeff Johnson, CEO of Iowa State alumni association, says there are lessons to be learned from Jack TriceAlone inside a hotel room, segregated from his Iowa State football teammates, Jack Trice ate dinner in silence the night before the Minnesota game. As his teammates talked and laughed and plotted on-field strategy in rooms he wasn't allowed to be in, Trice took out a pen and crafted a letter on the Curtis Hotel stationery.
After the injury, Iowa State coach Sam Willaman asked Trice if he was OK."And he says, 'Yeah, I'm fine. I'll keep playing,'" said sports historian Jaime Schultz. Trice went back out on the field. Remarkably, he was cleared by physicians to travel home with the team. A Des Moines physician was called to meet him at the station.
"He wrote the letter to talk about his place," said Sailes."And the thing about it, he knew his place. He wasn't comfortable with it, but those were the times." At Iowa State, Trice and Cora both worked jobs to pay their way. Trice was also on the track team, played football and majored in animal husbandry, with plans to go south after graduation to help Black farmers.
