Talk:Bevo Francis

Untitled
Bevo Francis attended Rio Grande College (now Rio Grande University) and played for two seasons from 1952-54. He left college after his sophomore season to join the Boston Whirlwinds, a team that served as the "opposition" to the famed Harlem Globetrotters. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Warriors in 1956 but after two seasons of constant travel with the Whirlwinds opted to return home to his wife and family. During the two spectacular seasons at Rio Grande he led his tiny school of barely 125 students against Villanova, Providence, Wake Forest, North Carolina State,Miami, Butler and Creighton. A two-time All-America selection he and his teammates are the subject of a new book,(Nov.2005) Shooting Star: The Bevo Francis Story, and are to be inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame in May of 2006. More than 50 years after he last played his name still provokes vigorous debate and his records remain unbroken.

Bad Link
The Boston Whirlwinds for which Bebo Francis played were totally unrelated, except by coincidence of name, from the old-time, 1920s American Basketball League team which is the subkect of the stub article. So I am unlinking it. 75.201.153.66 (talk) 19:50, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
