The Grey Ghost an iconic track star from Detroit Northwestern passed yesterday in Atlanta. Won two Gold Medals in 1964 Olympics in Tokyo 200 meter and 400 relay. Cover of Sports Illustrated. We at Detroit Cooley HS beat NW in football though Carr went 90 yards around end as our lb and cb missed him as crossed the goal line with safety on the 20 yard line in chase. Great athletes at Northwestern at the time Willie Horton of Tigers, Matt Snorton Spartan football player, Alex Johnson AL batting champion and Stan Washington Spartan bball star. The track guys in high school thought if was kind o funny on who got to run against Carr just get the hell out of the way. Any of you guys have stories of playing high school ball against future pros?
