Robert Jacobus, history teacher for over two decades and author of Houston Cougars in the 1960s: Death Threats, the Veer Offense, and the Game of the Century, will come to the Carver Library to discuss and sign copies of his book.  In 1968, the Houston Cougars upset the UCLA Bruins, ending a 47-game winning streak.  This defeat was dubbed the “Game of the Century,” and was owed in large part to two young black men who were recruited by the team from Louisiana in 1964, Don Chaney and Elvin Hayes.  These players led the team to 32 straight victories in the face of racially-motivated hostility.  In Jacobus’ book, you’ll find first-hand accounts from players, coaches, and others who aided integration of collegiate sports in Houston, promoting racial equality in the South as a whole.
