When The Rens Met The Globetrotters

Where the Globetrotters would overwhelm their opponents with dazzling play and slapstick antics, the all-black Rens team simply focused on hard-nosed play as their calling card. Their style was also much more appealing to the African-American community and press during the 1930’s, which further distanced them from the Globetrotters.

He was relegated to bench duty for all but five minutes of the second half. His backup, Earl Boykins, put up a much more impressive 14 points in 30 minutes.
