That is a great story. The information about Walsh being an assistant for Ralston in the early 60s, and being chiefly responsible for starting a pipeline of recruiting for black athletes--that is fascinating and completely new to me. While I was aware that Walsh was highly progressive with race relations later in his career--and was close to Harry Edwards--I had no idea that this started so much earlier in his career, or the way it set the foundation for the two Rose Bowl teams.
