William Lewis

William Lewis attended San Jose State College from 1934-1939. He majored in Physical Education and was active in multiple sports, including as a fullback in sophomore football, and as a guard in freshman basketball. In December 1935, Lewis was one of 19 football players who were handpicked to travel via cruise ship to Hawaii to play against Kamahamoa. In 1938, Lewis and fellow Black students Don Presley and Lloyd Thomas performed the "Truckin'" dance craze of the time as part of the Spartan Revue.
