[QUOTE="YellowJacketFan2018, post: 549487, member: 4475"] Georgia Tech in 1934 played a Michigan team with a black player Willis Ward who was a talented tight end. Michigan won that game 9-2 and Willis Ward sat out the game in a deal that Georgia Tech head coach William Alexander made with Michigan head coach Harry Kipke. The deal was Willis Ward(He sat in the Michigan radio booth) would sit out the game in exchange for a Georgia Tech player sitting out also. Georgia Tech went 1-9 in 1934 and Michigan went 1-7.
