So he played as a true freshman in 1951 -- when did the rule about freshmen not being able to play varsity come into effect? Or was that just a b'ball thing? I was recently reading something about Gordy Coleman, former Cincinnati Reds player, and Reds radio announcer who died in 1994, and it noted that Coleman had gone to Duke to play both football and baseball for one year (1952-53), but he's not listed in the football media guide, which I guessed was due to his being a frosh, but maybe frosh could play in 1952, or the media guide is wrong, or what I was reading about him was wrong.
