DIRECTION SPORTS (see enclosed brochure) is the brainchild of its president and project direct or , Tulle y Brown, who initiate d t he program la st September in the Los Angeles area. As a result of the wide coverage given it locally and nationally, the program's unique method -- which uses a sports f ormat as a means of improving learning motivation and educational ski lls -- has been brought to the attention of an estimated more than one hundred million Americans. In response to this publicity DIRECTION SPORTS has received over a thousand letters, written by individual cit izens, by officials of city, state, and federal government , and by faculty members of numerous universities, asking how they might put the program to work in their cities . Subsequently, a major foundation has expresse d interest in paying half the cost of travel and lodging for representatives of the Mayors of one hundred American cities to attend a special five-day DIRECTION SPORTS workshop. The workshop sessions are to be held August 4th through 8th in Los Angeles. At Mr. Brown's request, I am writing you personally, in advance of formal and final structuring of the planned summer workshop, to invite your consideration of his program and to request a wri tten response to my office in regard to your interest in having your c i t y part i cipate. Your pos i tive reply will be additional indicat i on to the foundat i on which is considering a financ i al commitment to the workshop operation of the nat i onal interest in the DIRECTION SPORTS program . �Page 2 of 2 The City of Los Angeles intends to do everything poss ib le to ensure that the workshop sessions are successful in enabling every participant to return to his ci ty with the information and expe r i ence necessary to conduct a pilot DIRECTION SPORTS program for the benefi t of its constituency. It is our hope that thi s conference will move us further ahead, as individual c i ties, toward a coalition of common interest in the educat ional development of all disadvantaged American youngsters. I will look forward to hearing from you .

This kind of cooperation has made it possible for DIRECTION SPORTS to achieve, in a short period of timeJ a "substa ntial improvement 11 (see psychometric studies results included in brochure) in the · learning skill development of youngsters living in those areas of Los Angeles with the highest percentage of school "drop-8uts". \ . In response to the na tional interest in DIRECTION SP0R'rS, we are planning a five-day Seminar so that other cities can become familiar with our format and materials, and so tha t the excitement of a nationwide program benefitting disadvant aged underachievers can become a reality. We will bring together the talents and r esources of the many individuals and groups who have contributed ·to the ongoing DIREC'I'I0N SPORTS program in order to make our Seminar workshops as instructive and comprehensive as possible. Our purpose is to offer participants materials and support for initial pilot prog rams based on the DIRECTION SPORTS format and adaptable to thei r respective c it ies. Seminar workshops will include the following: _1) Special ~re-tested "chalk tal ks" ( see sample in brochure ) designed to c arry fifth and s ixt h grade students in a DIRECTION SPORTS program throughout the 1969- 1970 school year.

"How it happened" is covered below in an excerpt from A Sports Story for Christmas, written by John Hall for the Los Angeles Times on December 15, 1967. "A foot slashed by broken glass and a stolen car have combined to produce what may be the Christmas sports story of the season. "If this sounds unlikely, you just don't know Tulley Brown. "Brown is a 34-year-old law school grad, a Santa Monica resident who has an overwhelming ompassion for sports and youngsters. While living in J-2 different countries during recent years, Brown found the two mixed wonderfully. "But his story really began one morning when he was doing his daily four miles of running on the beach at Santa Monica. Tulley Brown plans a football jamboree with YMCA Director Geor{?e Pohlman. c Copyrir,ht 1969, Dlrc,:t,on Sports Inc He stepped on a piece of glass and cut his foot. "Looking for emergency treatment, he came across a doctor connected with [ a center for] retarded and disturbed children. '·One thing led to another and Brown soon quit his old job [as a sales executive] to take over as athletic director ... "Bringing in several Lakers to help him at times, he began to get the kids to take out their frustrations and erase their doubts on the basketball floor. Psychiatrists used the word 'amazing; to describe the progress he was able to make. Parents were overjoyed. "About this time, Brown's car was stolen ... Typically. Tulley's reaction after an 18year-old boy was arrested for the theft was regret. He urged police not to press charges. "He and his wife asked to adopt the boy, an orphan who had been shuffled around various foster homes'.' Instead. the boy was sent to a juvenile camp, serving a sentence of fifteen months. Tulley learned from the probation officer on the case that often in such situations a minority or poor youngster would be sentenced while, for the same offense, a white middle-class youngster would be released to his parents on probation. Married and the father of three children, Brown returned to business and spent the next six months putting together a program that could help provide clisadvantaged youths with reasons to stay straight. If the magnetism of sports could break through to the retarded and emotionally disturbed, then why not use this magnet(continued, inside back cover) - �Direction Sports: the fundamental concept "Among the educational approaches which we believe should be considered and evaluated are the current efjorts to develop new patterns of education which do not fit into the traditional patterns'.' Recommendation of the PRESIDENT'S COMM ISSION ON CIVIL DISORDERS ( 1968 ) DIRECTION SPORTS is a Los A ngeles-based project des igned to answer that recommendation with an innovative programinvolving educationally disadvan taged youngsters, through the magnetism of sports, with local yo uth leadership, professionals in the fields of education and psychology, and other concerned adults from all parts of Los A ngeles Co unty. Direction Sports objectives: For the first time, to expand the content and go als of the average sports program for youth. Specifically, to use the universal appeal of "Little League" type sports activities for the development of basic learning skills ( through ca refu lly prepared "chalk talks") and to build positive self concepts and social attitudes ( through post-practice group discussions) . To provide an opportunjty for meaningful exchanges of communication and va lues among both youngsters and adults from a variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds ( through regul arly scheduled fi eld trips and group activities). To help resolve the tremendous disparity between the number of privately funded sports program s for youngsters in middle class or suburban areas and the programs available to youngsters from disadvantaged communities . The kinds of social problems which prompted the idea of DIR ECTION SPORTS are common knowledge, but have never been considered as responsive to simple, direct solutions. A brief review fo llows of those problems, their consequences, and the solutions the DIR ECTION SPORTS program offe rs . O ur primary co ncern is to show th at there is an alternative to the current expenditure of billions of doll ars to treat social symptoms. T here is a way to affect their causes. The problems we face Welfare. More than 7 mill ion Ameri cans are now receiving welfare assistance, and another 14 million citizens are identified as eligible fo r aid ; a total of 2 1 milli on persons in thls country whose family income is below what the government �"Recidivism" - an ugly word we have to face up to defines as basic subsistence. For example, six out of every ten Black children subsist on welfare payments at least a part of their lives. Did you know th at if you are born in a poverty area, odds are about ten to one you'll remain there for life? A Culture of Hopelessness. The old myth that citizens "on welfare" are so by choice is no longer tenable. Rather, the children of the poor grow up conditioned to failure, to the uselessness of ambition and the futility of dreams. To quote anthropologist Elliot Liebow, " In the end, a man's wife and children become a symbol of h.i s own failure as a man and the easy camaraderie of 'the corner' becomes an irresistible lure. At the moment he submits, he comes into his full inheritance bequeathed him by his p arent s, teachers, employers, and society at large. This is the step into failure from which few if any return and it is at this point that the rest of society can wring its hands or rejoice in the certain knowledge that he has ended up preci sely as they had predicted he would'.' Educational Dilemna. Educational surveys of the learning skills of youngsters from the depressed areas of Los Angeles County indicate the relatively poor learning skill improvement of minority youth. From the Los Angeles Times, January 10, 1969: "Many Anglo students in the Los Angeles City School System showed marked improvement in reading last year, but Negro and Mex.ican-American youngsters made only slight advances, test scores indicated .. . The reading scores climbed as high as 16 percentage points . .. In predominantly Negro and Mexican-American schools, however, the scores rose only an average of two points and rem ained at generally low levels. The lowest percentage increases, one percent, were recorded by first graders in the north and mostly Negro south-central areas and the predominately Mexican-American east side'.' The consequences Failure-Punishment Syndrome. Here's what th e GOVERNOR'S COMM ISSION ON THE LOS ANGELES RIOTS (August, 1967) had to say : "The actions taken thus far in Los Anoeles b ' and , for that matter, elsewhere throughout the United States, fail to meet the urgent ex isting need; and unless and until we in our City and State, a nd throughout the United States , solve the fundamental problem of raising the level of scholastic achi evement of disadvantaged children, we can not hope to solve all other problems of our disadvantaged minorities . . '.' It is clear that a grossly disproportionate number of underp1ivileged children experience fai lure in their first contact with the greater society-when they enter schoo l. Civil Disorders and Delinquency . T he NATIONAL A DVISORY COMM ISSION ON C IVIL DISORDERS has reported, "The expression of in adeq uate educational practices lies in the high incidence of riot participation by ghetto youth who had not completed high school. Our survey of r iot cities found that the typical riot participant was a lzigh school drop out . . '.' Recidivism. Almost half the juveniles released on parole in Los Angeles County are back in detention camps within six months. With a total minority population of about 20 percent in the county as a whole, nearly 50 percent of its detention camp members are ei ther Negro or MexicanAmerican . Neither a city nor a nation can begin to realize its potential whil e continuing to fai l to reac h so high a percentage of its youth. Without a significant impact on the source of these concerns, the nation can only continue to expend increasing billions in the treatment of crime, poverty and unemployment. �There can be no real solution in attempting to treat these consequences as though they were solvable on a symptom level. The great majority of programs for the disadvantaged reach people after they are already in trouble. DIRECTION SPORTS is preventive treatment- working logically at the source-and is using the most successful formula which has proven successful in regularly motivating and involving more than one million youths throughout the United States: privately funded sports programs. Special programs for underachievers can be successful. It was demonstrated recently in an experiment conducted by the San Francisco City School System, combining smaller classes with experienced teachers. One of these experimental classes achieved the highest reading scores for its age group of any public school class in the city- "and every one of these children was black'. ' Most school districts in the country are making conscientious efforts to improve the learning achievements of children from underprivileged areas. Whether the full burden of such an accomplishment should be placed on the schools alone is debatable. On the other hand, conditions never have been more ready for the development of "new patterns of education" to support and reinforce the schools' efforts. A crucial need Currently, privately funded sports programs for youngsters provide the most popular youth format in the nation. Yet little has been done to overcome the scarcity of these kinds of programs for underprivileged boys and girls. For example, in 1968 the tremendously popular Little League Baseball program involved approximately 55,620youngsters from the greater Los Angeles area. Yet of this total number not one team was in operation within the immense minority population corridor extending through Los Angeles from North Broadway south of the central city to adjoining Compton and including some 200,000 school age children. Economic breakdown of family income in th e Los Angeles area shows clearly the areas of the city which cannot support conventional privately financed sports programs of the Little League type. Family income, J960/ 1965 estimated U nder $5 .000 $5,000 - 6,999 $7,000 - 9,999 $ 10,000 and over Sources: Un ited States Census, and A nn ual R ep o rts, Fran chise T ax Board. State of California. �The magnetism and personal satisfaction of sports The Direction Sports program The premise of DIRECTION SPORTS is that the magnetism and personal satisfactions of athletic competition can provide a motivational breakthrough for normal but disadvantaged youngsters - that it can provide a basic format through which learning skills and positive attitudes toward education itself can be developed, using sports-related group discussions and curricula, and com~unity adult leadership. California State College at Los Angeles volunteered a room for an initial training seminar for DIRECTION SPORTS' staff, and two Cal State coaches, Walt Thurmond and Robert Miller, prepared special guidelines for instruction in football and basketball. Young college men who had grown up in disadvantaged communities were hired as DIRECTION SPORTS youth leader trainees. Their first formal training meeting was set at the University of Southern California and kicked off with speeches by football coaches John McKay, Dave Levy, and Willie Brown. During that first week trainees attended lectures on methods of instruction, coaching, and group discussion techniques, concluding their training with a two-hour session at the office of UCLA's John Wooden. On the final day the new DIRECTION SPORTS coaches put on a demonstration for their instructors at Cal State, working with youngsters from city poverty neighborhoods. DIRECTION SPORTS is answering a dual need- the need for privately funded sports programs in underprivileged areas, and the need to deal early with the threat of educational underachievement. Therefore, the program itself duplicates other youth sports programs but adds two unique new features - "chalk talks" designed to promote learning skills, and professionally supervised gro ui:; discussions. An afternoon schedule 3 : 30-3 : 35 p.m.-Orientation. 3: 35-4: 00 p.m.-"chalk taJk" learning sk ills. ( For an example of a typical DIRECTION SPORTS chalk talk, see the materials included at the back of this brochure.) 4: 00-5: 00 p.m.- Team practice. These practice sessions follow a daily plan carefully developed and formalized by professional college coaches. 5 : 00-5 : 30 p.m.- Group discussion. Group discussions are led by the comm unity coaches; a professional psychologist participates regularly to reinforce their talks. T he basic group discussion outline is as follows: 1. What makes a boy like himself? (Goal: Positive self con- cepts and social attitudes.) 2. Why are there schools? (Goal: Value of education. ) 3. What do I want to become? (Goal: Steps necessary for achievements.) 4. What jobs are available? (Goal: Opportunities for work experience.) 5. If I were . .. "role playing" a) a fireman? (Goal: Value of property.) b) a policeman? (Goal : Value of the law.) c ) an athletic hero? (Goal : Responsibility to others.) d ) blind? ( after visiting school for blind children) (Goal: Self-discipline.) 6. If I fail (sports, school, etc.)? (Goal: Work harder. ) Special Saturday activities Saturdays are game days. DIRECTION SPORTS' unique feature on Saturdays is that before each game teams meet in a "spelling bee" kind of competition involving math, spelling, and reading problems. Winning teams are rated " touchdowns;' "baskets;' etc. corresponding to the seasonal sport they are engaged in that day on the athletic field. These scores are added to each team's actual game score at the end of the playing day, and the winning team thus has the highest combined total. Every other Saturday all the youngsters go on a special trip after the game. Since DIRECTION SPORTS started in 1968, its young athletes have shared in experiences such as : 1) Yachting, as the guests of 24 boat owners at the Marina Del R ey. 2) Guests of the University of Southern California at the USC-Cal football game. 3) Guests of the National General Corporation, which provided a private showing of the film, "The Paper Lion;' for 150 youngsters. 4) Guests at a UCLA basketball practice. After practice, the youths met the players, and Lou Alcindor gave an inspirational talk which no one present will ever forget. 5) Guests of the Griffith Park Observatory for a showing of "The Sun, and Its Family of Planets'.' 6) Guests of the Los Angeles Music Center at a childrens' concert. DIRECTION SPORTS is operating now in park and recreation facilities within four poverty communities of metropolitan Los Angeles. These communities were chosen because of their high percentage of school drop-outs and rate of delinquency. The program currently employs the following adult personnel : one project director (full time) , one secretary ( full time) , �Top: The GauchO\· in pre-game "pep talk" w ith Cooch Pichardo.

Victor Coppin, M.A., USC psychologist, contracted to coordinate group discussions aimed at developing self pride and positive social attitudes among the youngsters participating in the project. Two psychometrists, Dr. Stephen Klein of UCLA and Dr. Ralph Hoepfner of USC, were enlisted to develop cross-validation methods for testing the actual effectiveness of DIRECTION SPORTS. The testing program compares the progress in specific learning areas of DIRECTION SPORTS experimental and control teams. See first post test results inside back cover.

Los Angeles responds In its first four months of operation, the DIRECTION SPORTS concept attracted so much attention that it was featured on eight television programs-KTLA, KCOP, and CBS and NBC affiliates.With additional coverage through KGFJ and KFWB radio shows, it is estimated that the story of DIRECTION SPORTS has been told to more than three million people in the Los Angeles area. The first national attention given the project was a feature article in the Christian Science Monitor ( copy enclosed) , and The Johnny Carson Show. The national magazine, Sports Illustrated, is providing a weekly subscription for every boy in the program. The 7-Up Bottling Company has donated uniforms. In November of 1968 CBS-Los Angeles, with the approval of its national office, voted DIRECTION SPORTS one of the top six programs in Los Angeles and contributed a thousand dollars worth of jackets, track shoes, and pants for the future use of program youngsters. Numerous additional supporters a nd contributors are listed on the back cover of this brochure.

Dymally, State Senator, 29th District Most of all, it's working! T he best way to confirm this is to see the program in action for yourself. Write DIRECTION SPORTS fo r a schedule of daily practice and teaching sessions or weekend team and intramural games. You are invited and welcome! Plans for the future Plans are underway to begin a similar program this year for girls, ages 9 through 11 , from the same communities. By September of ] 969 it is anticipated that DIRECTION SPORTS will have spread to every disadvantaged area of greater Los Angeles, and will include pilot programs for 12 to 14 year old boys. By September of 1970 it is intended that all youngsters ages 12 through 14 will be able to participate in the program. Subsequently, with private and public support, DIRECTION SPORTS is designed to expand to every disadvantaged community in America. P lans are underway for a seminar which will be held in Los Angeles fo r representatives from all interested cities in America. Half the cost of travel and accommodations will be defrayed and DIRECTION SPORTS' materials and methods of operation will be presented to the delegates. A nd, with this support and leadership, this unique program will be capable of regularly involving over one million under-privileged boys and girl s between the ages of 9 and 14 in an enriching and meaningful learning-through-playing experience which offers a new pattern for educational motivation and success. DIRECTION SPORTS is at this time, totally supported by volunteer fu nds and is a non-profit corporation . A U contributions, large or small, are tax deductible. If you're concerned about your tax doll ar-and who isn't? -the greatest saving you can make is your contribution to a program li ke this one - a contribution toward redirecting a youngster today to prevent hi m from becoming a public expense tomorrow.

TULLY BROWN FROM: DR. STEPHEN KLEI~ DATE,: APRIL 21, 1969 SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY EVALUATION RESULTS 900 24 Background In the fall of 1968, the five teams took a 44 item mathematics test dealing with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers; and a 20 item spelling test involving sports related words, such as "offense." Two teams received spelling instruction while the other three received mathematics instruction. The five teams were retested in February of 1969 with tests that were very similar to ones they took in the fall (i.e., the formats and instructions were the same but the questions were different so as to eliminate possible biases, such as memory). Results The results of the two testings appear in the table below. An inspection of this table indicates the following : (1) The teams had comparable (and relatively poor) performance before training in both mathematics and spelling. (2) The teams receiv i ng training in an area have shown substantial i mprovement in that a r e a, e.g . , the three teams receiving mathematics instruction impro ve d 28% in mathematics compared to only 9% for the teams recei v ing spelling instruction .

P. GUILFORD, DIRECTOR R. HOEFFNER, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR May 7, 1969 Mr. Tully Brown Direction Sports 4415 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, California Dear Tully: Upon receiving Dr. Klein's preliminary evaluation of the DIRECTION SPORTS program, I am pleased to concur with him in the conclusion that your program has had a beneficial effect. While Dr. Klein's evaluation was primarily of a descriptive nature; describing the results after the fact, I thought it might be interesting to see what we might be able to generalize to future seasons or other cities from what we now know. Accordingly, I performed two t-tests, one for math achievement and one for spelling achievement. The two general hypotheses I evaluated were: 1 . .J;mprovement in math achievement in the mathematics-instruction groups (experimental) is greater than improvement in math achievement in the spelling-instruction groups (control). 2. Improvement in spelling achievement in the spelling-instruction g roups (expe rime ntal) is greater than the improve me nt in the mathi nstruction groups (control ). To compute the two statistics, I e mployed only the 24 math boys and the 16 spelling boys who had all pretest and posttest scores, My reason for excluding s o many o f the boys in your pro gram who did not have complete sets of scores for these t-tests wa s that we cannot be sure what the instructional effect was for them. The t values for the math-score comparison was 2.949, significant at the . 01 level , while the t value for the spelling-score comparison was 1.445, n ot significant. The conclusions we can draw are these: with gre at confiden c e we can e xpect y our program (or ones like it) to effect significant improvement in the mathematical facility of disadvantaged , minority boys ; we cannot be v ery confident of a similar eff e ct in spellin g ability , altho ught the data indicates a similar spelling improvement~ Of course, the mathematics tests and e x e rc ises were further d eveloped and refined than those for spelling at the init iation of this program. It is quite possible that with refin eme nt of the spelling program we will find significant impro v ement there too. The preliminary findings, therefore, may b e expected not to be sensiti v e to real improvements and we will h a v e to await the final data to find out if spelling can be re all y improved.

III. Materials: blackboard and cha lk for instructor. paper a nd pencil for each boy. IV. Activity: I . Motivation: [t's very important for you to be aware of the score and the yardage at all times during the game . Then you will be a ble to choose the best type of play to m ake. Let's tak e a look a t a w ho le game here and how it is scored quarter by quarter. ( Pass out game-sheets to boys. ) Coach draws game sheet on boa rd to fi ll in . 2. D escription of Activity: a. What is the total time of a game? (After they answer, write it in the square marked " total time'.') b. How is a game divided up? (quarters). How m a ny minutes in each qua rter? (Say it and then write it under time for each quarter.) How m a ny minutes in a half? ( oral answer ). c . Okay-now le t's figure out the score for each qua rter. ( Coach writes o n blackboard.) 1) l n the first quarter, the Rams made a touchdown and then made the conversion; the 49ers just made the touchdown. Now fill in the score at the end of the first quarter. (7-6). 2) l n the second quarter, the Rams made a field goal ( 3) and the 49ers made a touchdown and the conversion ( 7) . Write down the score for the end of the second ( I 0-13). 3) In the third quarter, the Rams score two touchdowns, but make onl y one of the conversions. How many points is that? ( 13 ). The 49ers make a touchdown and the conversion (7). What is the score of the game now? (23-20.) 4) In the fin al quarter, the Rams do not score; the 49ers 111ake a field goal (3) .What's the final score of the game? (tie ga111e : 23-23) . d. Now you'll notice on the right-hand side of each square. the re is a section that says total yards gained. Fill in the following information: I) In the fi rst quarter, the Ra111s 111 adc a total yard gain of -13 : the 49ers 111ade 51 ( this is total, not net). 2) In the second quarter, the Rams 111ade 40: the 49ers 45. (Boys fill in this infor111ation as you read it-you write it on the board ga111e-chart.) 3) In the third quarter, Ra111s gain 50 yds. 49ers gain 47. 4) In the first quarter, the Ra111s 111ake 42 yds : 49ers 55 . e. What is the total yardage gain for the R ams? ( 17 5) ( Boys will add the numbers up in the m a rgin of their paper ; have them just raise the ir ha nd when they have the a nswer, but do not shout it out). What is the tota l yardage game now for the 49ers? (51 + 45 + 47 + 55 = 198) f. This is total yards gained ; to determine the ne t ya rds gained we must subtract the penalties. I ) The Rams were penalized three times for off-sides ( 15 yds.) and once for clipping ( 15 yds.) How 111any yards did they lose altogether? ( 30) 2) The 49ers were penalized twice for off-sides ( 10) and once for unsportsmanlike conduct ( 15) . H ow many yards were they penalized altogether? (25) (The process here will be first computing the off-sides penalty 5 x 2 I 0, and then adding IO plus 15.) g. Finally, how will we determine the net ya rds ga ined for each team? (Have one boy explain the process: to subtract the total pena lty yards from the total yards gained . ) l) What was the Rams net yard gain ? ( 145) 2) What was the 49ers net yard gain?

ALPHONZO BELL OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Monday, April 21, 1969 Mr. BELL of California. Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to call the attention of this House to a unique and successful program that has been operating in the Watts area of Los Angeles. Direction Sports begins where Little League leaves off-it serves those who have no fathers to participate, those who have no money for uniforms, insurance, and the other requisites of Little League participation. But Direction Sports gives the boys it serves more than an opportunity to participate in the kind of athletic competition enjoyed by their middle-class counterparts. Through techniques developed by the Southwest Regional Lab in Inglewood, Calif.-a project which has received more than $4 million from the Office of Education's Bureau of Research in the past 2 years-Direction Sports youngsters improve their learning skills and social attitudes by means of educative chalk talks. In my view, Direction Sports is precisely the kind of innovative program that those of us who have been struggling to find solutions to urban ills have encouraged in legislation passed in recent years. As important as the heartwarming results described in the following article by the Christian Science Monitor, however, is the fact that program evaluation have shown a statistically significant increase in participants' mathematics achievement scores. Mr. Speaker, I wish to commend the Monitor's article to the attention of my colleagues, especially those whose con= stituencies include disadvantaged metro= poli tan areas. �THE CHR.TSTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR WEEKEND ISSUE Monday, January 20, 1969 Watts: 'Direction Sports' By Cliff Gewe cke Sports correspon dent .of The Christi an Science Monitor Los Angeles Ever since the Watts, and other, r iots of 1965, sports programs for the underpr ivileged Negro youngster have come to the fore. The idea seems to,.be : get more of these youngsters off t he streets , inspire a nd ·s kill them with sports (and sports her oes ), and potent ia l r uffians and "lost causes" may be motivated info becomin g useful , proctuctive citizens. One of the most r e cent, and per haps most fa r sighted, of these program s - which emanated in the Watts se ction of Los Angeles during 1968 - is " Dir ection Sports," an affiliate of the Urban Affairs Foundation , Inc. E ssentially, it is a " Little League for the unde rprivileged. " But it h as distinct over tones, and undt!rtones, of improving positive learning skills through orientation, "chalk ta lks, " and gr oup discussions. 'Tremendous disparity? " P rivately funded sports progr a ms involve more than one million youngsters. a nd are th e most popular youth form a t in the na tion," says for m er sales r epresentative Tulley Brown, who is program dir ector for Direction Sports. " Yet, the re is a trem endous dispa rity between the n um ber of pr ivately funded sports p rogram s fo r the youth in middle-class are as a s opposed to those in the underprivileged a reas." To drive home his point, Brown cite s this statistic: that , in a Jette r dated Aug. 2, 1968, A. E . Houghton, secretary of Little L ea gue Ba seba ll, headquartered in Willia msport , Pa ., stated the re were 55,620 youngste rs involved in the Greater L os Angeles area. "Of this number," e mphasizes Brown, "not one tea m opera tes in the immense minority corridor extending from North Broa dway south to Compton a nd including som e 200,000 school-age children. "The reasons for this are basic," he a dds. " Little L eagu e progra m s function with the assista nce of fathers, often with the youngsters paying for their own insu rance a nd m edical che ckup. A general requirem ent is tha t tlic: youngsters have ha d not m ore than one 'D ' in the precP.d ing sem ester's schoolwork- and no _police record. Little League for underprivileged Started offic ially Sept. 23 with the advent of the pa st fo otball sea son, Dire ction Sports encompa ssed some 75 youngster s in the preteenage category. Pla ns are to go through the m ajor spor ts in-season- basketball, tra ck, baseball. And to expand to other (older and younger ) age categories, and even to reach into the participation of girls in the p rogram. Letters of commenda tion have been received fro m su ch m en as California a ttorney general Tom Lynch, Los Angeles County sheriff P eter P itchess, Los Angeles police chief Tom Reddin, and Los Angeles mayor Sam Yorty. Unique chalk talk The program has been fea tured on some eight southern Ca lifornia television programs. Sports I!lustrated is p roviding a weekly m agazine subscription for every boy in the p roject, and the 7-Up Bottling Compa ny ha s donated uniforms. CBS-Los Angeles, after voting Direction Sports one of the top six pi;ograms in Los Angeles, contdbuted $1,000 worth of jackets, track shoes, and pants for future use by the youngsters. Don't qualify for Little League " Direction Sports" head man Tulley Brown disc usses team tactics with youngsters in the Watts section of Los Angeles. The program's educative chalk talks serve as a teach ing aid. " Too often, " Brown continued , " the youngsters in the ghet tos do not have fathers to participa te , money to pay for insurance and doctors, a dequa te grade s, and they do have police r ecords. Thus, cla ss ical Little L eague is untena ble in deprived a reas." The idea is to m otivate pote ntial ruffians and "lost causes" into becoming useful , productive citizens through the ins pira tion of sports. Yet, if the program is to continue to th rive ( and, even, go national perhaps someday) more funds, a nd help, will be needed. (A free brochure m ay be obtained by writing: P roject Director Tulley N. Brown, Direction Sports , Inc., Ur ban Affa irs Founda tion, 955 S. Western Ave., Suite 204, Los An geles, Ca lif. 90006). R ecently, the writer sat in (with Brown, a Negro group leader re cruited from a nearby college, and a dozen youngster s ) on one of the educative chalk talks tha t utilize sports as " transference" for learning. " Ricky," said the leader, pointing to a la d in the front row, " how m any points do you get for a touchdown?" "Six," answered Ricky. " How many points for a fielg goal?" " Two." "You sure?" " Three?" replied R icky, hesitantly. " Add six and three and what do you get," asked the le ader. Nine! "Good! Now," continued the leade r, " in basketball you get how m a ny points for a field goal ? . . . and two minus nine is . . . " And so the questions, and the transferenceof-learning skills answers, spread throughout the room- pe rhaps someday soon to spread throughout the United States with Tulley Brown' s dream of " Direction Sports becoming the Little Lea gue of minority a reas." �r t...+·"1"'~' C: I t ii t I O N ~ o n Mo nday, Ma rch 31, 1969 OIREC:tION SPORTS a nnoun ces this or ga n1 za rion will be ho ldin g a semina r this summer for repre se ntatives of eve r y major c it y th a r wo uld like t o sta rt a pilot program of Its own thi s comin g Sep t embe r; and ~OIREC:tION SPORTS is a unique p rogram us in g a Little League,type form a t , plu s ~ i ona l f ea rur es , th e spec iall y prepared "C: ha l k t a l k" by rhe Fede ra l Govern • me nr's So urh wes t Re gi ona l Labo r a tory and seco ndly p rot estation by cross discussions r einforced by a psycholo g ist , desi gned ro de ve l op posit i ve se lf , co nc epts and socia l a ttitud es; and a majo r foundation has a lr ea dy of fer ed, pendin g fin a l ap pro va l o f th e ir 143.215.248.55 12:53, 29 December 2017 (EST)-1'4. ro defra y ha lf the cost f or each c l r y des irou s of a ttendin g the semi na r; ~ the prog r am Invo l ves 9 ro 12, yea r , o ld boys and pr ese ntl y th e re a r e app roxl • ma t e y ~e hundred chi l dren Invo l ved: it is th e hope of a l I co nce rned that th e OIRF:C:t!ON Ma rc h 31 , 1969 C:ounci Iman , �~ OIRECTIO \J SQORTS , INC, . 15 OQERATI NG AN EOL!C,ATIO\J r\ L rl .'D SQORTS QROGR /1 ,11 flE\JEFITI NG 015 /\ 0V /\N TAGEOCHILDRE N IN THE CIT\' OF LOS /\NG HES ; AND ~ T H E Sl!C,C,E SS OF DIRI:: C,TION SQ ORTS , I\J(.

Direction Sports began its regular operation on September 23rd, I 968, with Brown devoting full time to its operation. On January I 6th, I 969 Direction Sports, Inc. became a non-profit corporation. In CBS executives Garth Hintz and Joe Dyer present new team jackets to Tulley Brown. this brief time the program has become one of the most widely covered projects in the Los Angeles area.

Enclosure JCD : jw �·--- - - -- CYCLORAMA SURVEY A SUMMARY OF QUESTIONNAIRES February 17, 1969 As of January .24, 1969, 2,013 of the 5,000 postcards were returned to this office. This represents an impressive response of 40.3¾. We understand from public opinion firms, etc., that as much as a 10¾ resp~nse is considered adequate and favorable. Seven basi j questions were asked on the survey card and not every question was answered by everyone who returned a card. As to the question, 11 Your home town or point of origin?, 11 l, 97 3 responded. Of this number, 966 (or 49¾) were from the southeastern United States. They represented a total of forty-five states and the District of Columbia. Interestingly enough, 1.89¾ of all visitors during the period tested were from foreign countries. Those listing Atlanta under question one represent 7.6¾ of the survey, and those from outside Atlanta but living in Georgia represented 10.9¾ of the survey. As to question two, 11 Are you on vacation or a business trip?, 11 61.6¾ were on vacation, 21.8¾ were on business, and 16.5¾ were on business and vacation. As to question three, 11 How did you hear of cyclorama?, 11 a total of 1,689 of the 2,013 cards responded to this question. The largest single group were told of the Cyclorama by friends, with the next group having heard of it through relatives, and the third group bein g natives of the City of Atlanta.

SWEAT, JR ., Director of Governmental Liaison · June 27, 1969 MEMORANDUM TO: Johnny Robinson FROM: George J. Berry SUBJECT: City-owned lot at Richardson and Conley Streets. At your request, I reviewed our situation on this piece of property with the foll owing findings : 1. In 1944, Mayor Hartsfield granted an elderly lady permission to use this lot. The city had owned it for a very long time. In the late 1800' s the lot had been used as a dump for "night soil. " The lady had continued to use t he prope r ty and had some sort of church constructed on it which the City Housing Code Division has recently requi re d her to de m olish . Cons e quently, she does not now occupy the property . This lady now feels that she has a legal right to the prop e rty, howeve r, because she has had effective possession for this l ength of tim e. 2. In 1967 th e City Parks Department was investigati ng all city - o wn e d p r ope r ty to determine th e i r feas i bili ty fo r us e a s playl ot s . Whe n Jack D e lius was investigating thi s p roperty the eld erly lady (kno w n loc ally as "the witch docto r") plac e d a "hex " o n h im fo r p r opos i ng to us e h er p r oper ty . 3. Becaus e of it s po s s ible us e by the Parks D e p artment, the Law Department initiated an action to determine the validity of the city's title . Associate City Attorney, Ralph Jenkin s , represente d the city and while he wa s unable to remove the hex from Mr. D eliu s , did s ucceed in w i nning the case and clearing the city' s title to the lot . �June 27, 1969 Memo to Johnny Robinson Page Two 4. Pete Williams of the Land Department says that the boundaries of the lot need to be surveyed. He feels that an adjoining building is encroaching on the property. 5. Because of the time factor, the Parks Department arranged for another playlot in the vicinity with which they are satisfied. Mr. Delius advised me that they now have no plans to use this lot. 6. Mr. Jenkins advised me by telephone that if the city is serious in wanting to assert its title to this property, it is important that this property be put to some definite use or it be declared surplus and sold. I did not inquire into his legal reasons for this position, but he felt that the failure of the city to act would strengthen the claimant's case and could possibly result in overturning the court's decision . A third alternative, therefor e , would be to abandon the property to the claimant. Very truly yours , GJB :p �_,.. ~;I.~;;/~~,!~.

Delius, Gene ral Manager SUBJECT : Rec r eati on Assistance to Faye tt e , Mississippi Mayo r Charles Ev ers \ Ber t a Frizzel l ha s checke d th e ai rli nes and finds that De lta fli es into Natc hez , Mississippi which is the n earest airport apparently to Fayette, Mis si ssippi . The tra nsportation round trip touri st class is $115 . 5 .0 . I will r e ques t for you this amount of mone y plus $25 . 00 p er diem expense for the one night you probably will . stay and $25 . 00 . t ravel expense for a total request of $ 1 65 . 50 . I make r eference on the request for travel expenses to the fact that Mr. Dan Sweat ha s asked 0s to give assistanc e t o Faye tt e, Mississippi . As t o the cost of construction of the r ec r eation buildinggymnasium and other items, I he l d a meeting this morning with the Park Engineers and we came up with some rough ballfield prices . First of a ll, a recreation building that would includ e a regulation college typ e basketba ll court with two small courts crosswise, rollaway bleache rs, a r ecreation or multi -purpose room, a library, dance studio, locke r room, showers, e tc . ,·as we ll as a special club and trophy room would c e rtainly add up to at l east 12,900 square feet . I have analyzed the square footage in several of the b e tt e r gymnasiu m-recreati on building compl exes in Ge orgia s uch as Da lton and East Point and find they run sl i g htly over 12,000 s quare fee t. Th e Park Engineers have es timated cost of construction of this typ e of building at a bout $20.00 p er square foot and so you could say that this building, less land, would cost b e tween $200,000-$240,000. Now, that figure would not include the cos t of i nstalling l ockers, etc . f,,'-iT r. ~\.... / .c-· l';- "'.·.. , �MEMORANDUM Jimmi e Mims Octob er 23, 1 969 As to an outdoor recrea tion area , the information we have from Fayette, Miss issippi is rather nebulous . The cost of a multiple purpose game court is running about $3,500 each here in At lanta . It can be done out of concrete and you could skate on it and have other act i vit i es r e quiring a hard . surface such as basketball, e tc. Basketball courts are also running about $3,500 each ; badminton courts about $3 ,000 each, voll eyball courts about $3,000 , and doubl e court t ennis faciliti es about $7,000 . The engineers es timat e that out door handball courts properly construct ed and f e n ced would run about $2,000 each . The co s t of constructing a baseba ll .d i amond, socc er fi e ld, quar t er mil e cinder track , arch ery range and hors eshoe pit s , if in fact the land is fai r ly level and requir es little grading, would run about $25 ,000 including the lighting . It is worth noting that we have spent up to $15,000 for just the light for a l arge baseball diamond . As to the campsites , they run about $500 each . Outdoor toil e t ·facilities are shockingly expensive . We have spent up to $20,000 for ladi es and mens r es trooms . However, the engineers think that from $8,000 -10,000 would cover this it em . Mis s issippi might want to build their own or conside r buying one alre~dy pre-fabricated from Sup er Secure in California. You will recall that we have us ed Super Secure at Anderson and.Bedford - Pine . The water fountains ccst $160 . 00 ea~h p lus installation and water pipe . We are not sure about item 7 11 The outdoor area which should b e light e d 11 and thus we are refraining from g iving any s ort of pric e . We r eally don 1 t know what siz e area the y are _talking a bout. The las t item, number 8, calls for construction of a strong fence around the entire playarea . A six foot fence of reasonably sturdy gauge runs about $4 . oo a foot installe d . In othe r word s , a 100 f ee t would cost $400.00; a 1,000 fe e t, .a $1,000.00. I am sending Dan Sweat a copy of thi s memorandum and hav e a call into him at this time to ask him whether I should proceed to make a r e ques t for your travel expenses. JCD:bf cc: Dan Swe at Dan: Jimmie Mims is on a very badly needed vacation and wil l be back on duty Monday, October 27, and could leave mos t anytime a ft e~ that for the trip to Fayette. �l( ~ p • / , .- , I . - ·.; -··~ .Jr S.~i~ rt/1ENT OF P/\Rliy Hig'.1 School SchooJ. -Tota l Se rved by ~Iur.~D:1 ries Schoo l Brown Avenue and J ones joro Road · Park A'renu.e cJncl Lc1 nsin ~ · Hice Her.1ori;1l 670 Ad.?.i r PciTk 500 Pittman Park 1~50 Bethlehem Center Schoo·J.
