Jesse Owens loses to Ralph Metcalfe
During his high school years, one of Jesse Owens toughest opponents in sprint events was Ralph Metcalfe, then a college star at Marquette University. In this photo, taken at the National Amateur Athletic Union Championship Meet held in Chicago at the end of June in 1933, Metcalfe (center) bests East Tech's Jesse Owens (right) in the 220 yard dash. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collecion
