The Express - The Ernie Davis Story




eBook Title for Download :The Express - The Ernie Davis Story (Format : mp3 , Language : English)

Plot :

He could do it all, beat every opponent . . . except one.plaque  honoring Ernie Davis, in the lobby of Elmira Free AcademyErnie  Davis was an All-American on the gridiron, and a man of integrity off  the field. A multi-sport high school star in Elmira, New York, Davis  went on to Syracuse University, where as a sophomore he led his team to  an undefeated season and a national championship in 1959, and earned his  nickname, the Elmira Express. Two seasons later, Davis had broken the  legendary Jim Browns rushing records, and became the first black  athlete to be awarded the Heisman Trophy. The number one pick in  the 1962 NFL draft, Davis signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns  and appeared to be headed for professional stardom. But Davis never  ended up playing in the NFL: He was diagnosed with leukemia during the  summer before his rookie season and succumbed to the disease less than a  year later. In battling his illness, Davis showed great dignity and  courage, inspired the nation, and moved President John F. Kennedy to  eulogize him as  an outstanding man of great character.An  enduring story of a true scholar-athlete, The Express is a touching,  impeccably researched, deeply personal portrait of Ernie Davis, and a  vivid look at sport in America at the dawn of the Civil Rights era.

The Elmira Express  I love the Twin Tiers in the autumn. The days are still warm; the  nights cool, giving birth to vibrant fall colors. The hills seem almost  alive, and the threat of colder weather is a promise on the wind. Fall  in the Twin Tiers ushers in a revered tradition. When it's autumn in  America, it's time for football. Across the land, in big cities and  small towns, in large stadiums and rural high schools--the sights,  sounds, and colors of the game are all around us. The common thread is  the game, and the athletes that practice and play it with heart and  determination to the very best of their abilities.  Few players have shown more heart or determination than Ernie Davis.  Davis was born on Dec. 14, 1939, in New Salem, Pa. His parents  separated shortly after his birth, and his father was soon killed in an  accident. He grew up in poverty in Uniontown, a coal-mining town 50  miles south of Pittsburgh, where caring grandparents raised him.  At 12, Davis moved to live with his mother and stepfather in Elmira.  He went on to become Elmira's favorite son, both as an outstanding  athlete and as a respected and well-loved citizen. Ernie's talent  bloomed, and the honors came early and often. He led Elmira Free Academy  to a 52-game winning streak in basketball and as a Syracuse sophomore  helped the Orangemen gain their only national football championship.  As a senior in 1961, he became the first African American athlete to  win the Heisman trophy and was the number one pick in the 1962 NFL  draft. And then, suddenly, he was gone. He was diagnosed with leukemia  the summer before his rookie season. He never played in the NFL, but  succumbed to the disease less than a year later. Though Ernie never  played a game for the Cleveland Browns, they retired his number 45, worn  only in practice.  Davis was easily recognized as a great athlete, but his high school  coach, Marty Harrigan, summed up what many felt for Ernie Davis when he  said, "Everyone knew Ernie's athletic greatness, but few realized what a  great human he was. His concern for his fellow man, and his affection  for children, was sincere."  I think this is what moved me the most when I read The Express, The  Ernie Davis Story by Robert C. Gallagher. There are lots of talented  professional athletes today, and most of them are more than willing to  inform you just how gifted they are, but the media exposure never  changed him. "Ernie was the same kid at the end as he was at the start,"  said Jim Flynn, his high school basketball coach.  Ernie believed he was fortunate to be so gifted and never took his  ability for granted. He worked hard both on the field and in the  classroom. "Ernie was always the first one on the practice field and the  last to leave." Many athletes, assured of a college scholarship, would  have coasted in class, but "Ernie worked hard when it wasn't popular to  get good grades. The teachers loved him. He never would excuse himself  from work and say he had too many outside activities." Ernie intended to  play professional football, but he knew that career expectancy in the  NFL was only a few seasons, so he wanted to be prepared for another  career when he retired from football. He believed that education would  lead to social and economic success.  Syracuse University experienced its greatest football success during  Ernie's career. The Orangemen became the national champions and winners  of the Cotton Bowl. Four days before the game, Ernie pulled a hamstring  while practicing place kicks. It was doubtful right up until game time  whether he could play. Before leaving the game in the fourth quarter, he  scored two touchdowns, including a then Bowl-record pass play, scored  twice on two-point conversions, and intercepted a pass that led to  Syracuse's final touchdown.  He was voted the game's Most Valuable Player. Davis was to have  received his MVP award at the awards banquet that night. But when bowl  officials said that only white players were invited to the dinner and  that Davis would have to leave after picking up his trophy, the Syracuse  team refused to attend.  It was Ernie's performance against the University of Pittsburgh that  same year which inspired the nickname "The Elmira Express." Elmira  Star-Gazette sports writer Al Mallette coined the phrase. Penn State  coach Joe Paterno had this to say about Ernie Davis: "He's the kind of  runner you hate to coach against; you can't instruct a boy to tackle a  man if he can't catch him."  It was December 1961 when Ernie won the Heisman trophy. Winning the  Heisman is a significant accomplishment regardless of the year or  player, but it was a significant racial breakthrough at a time with  segregation was just beginning to become a social issue. Today, black  players often win the award, and it might be hard for his contemporaries  to appreciate his achievement.  When he was in New York to receive the Heisman, Davis was treated  with media coverage usually reserved for national heroes. President John  Kennedy was in the city at the time and asked to see Ernie, a visit  that thrilled him. "Imagine," Davis said, "a president wanting to shake  hands with me."  Ernie was the number one pick for the 1962 National Football League  draft following his senior year. The Washington Redskins had the initial  selection, but soon traded him to the Cleveland Browns, who signed him  to a three-year no-cut, no-trade $65,000 contract with a $15,000 signing  bonus, a new record for a rookie.  The next summer while training for the upcoming All-Star game, Ernie  awoke with swelling in his neck. A trainer sent him to the hospital,  and doctors soon discovered the leukemia. At the time, Ernie and the  public were told only that he had a "blood disorder". He wasn't told it  was leukemia until October, after he had been in and out of the  hospital. "Either you fight or you give up," Davis said in remembering  how he felt when told the news.  The disease went into remission, and Davis kept planning on pro  football. He practiced with the Browns. Coach Paul Brown, heeding the  advice of medical people who warned him of the risks, did not play  Davis. The next spring, Davis noticed more swelling and entered the  hospital again. Two days later, on May 18, he died in his sleep. In  Elmira, more than 10,000 citizens passed the Neighborhood House on May  21 where Ernie lay in state. Flags in the city were flown at half-mast.  He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, also the burial place of Mark Twain.
