The Wisconsin Badgers football team canceled its games against Louisiana State University in 1957 and 1958 because the state of Louisiana in 1956 formally outlawed social events and athletic contests that mixed black people with whites.

Nonetheless, it's surprising to learn, in the text accompanying each image, how many early winners were amateurs who simply chanced upon amazing scenes. It's curious to note that the first color photograph to win was in 1984. (Few pte-USA Today papers published in color.)

The Professional Bowlers Association is celebrating its 50th anniversary season through the rest of this year and all through 2009.
Though the PBA was founded in 1958 by the late Eddie Elias and 33 top bowlers from across the country, the first events were not conducted until 1959.
