...restrained by three teammates There was fighting on the field for the rest of the game while St. John's cheer-leaders cried out "Back to Africa." As the game ended, several hundred Eastern fans rushed across the field and up into the St. John's section. Perhaps they meant to start a fight, or perhaps they did not. In any case, pushing matches started at the exits, and a full-scale race riot ensued. Gangs of Negroes roamed through the parking lote yelling "Get the whites," while whites were trying desperately to get away. An hour later, 100 police...

...intent. But the 19 other dancers-nine male, ten female-in her company are all masters of the "virile gestures" that, she says, "are evocative of the only true beauty."
