Dave Myers, who became QB of New York University in 1929 was one of the early Black stars of football. This is a 1929 photo showing him pushing a pushing machine at fall practice (he was a guard before moving to QB)

He was the center of controversy when he was part of a "Gentleman's Agreement" between schools and was benched for a game when Georgia refused to play against a black quarterback and threatened to pull out of the game.
