Columbus High School (CHS) Bulldog Basketball Team Captain in 1917The famous national basketball demonstrator and canvas tennis shoe designer was the captain of the team and third leading scorer. Many players wore knee pads up to the year 1950 because the shoe grip wasn't the best. Chuck played many games in the old City Hall second floor on rough flooring so to speak. Without knee pads many floor burns in those days kept the knees scared up. Chuck knowing the problems with early shoes and floor burn problems improved the shoe design. His shoes have sold millions of pairs and still selling today. They can be easily washed in a washing machine. The shoes have great grip and high or low tops are available. High tops were the original design to protect the ankles. Chuck toured the world promoting his "Chuck Taylor All-Star" shoes. He visited colleges nationwide to demonstrate trick plays and his shoe's abilities. Chuck's time was before the Columbus Pearl Street Gym, but what a gift he gave to the nation on quality tennis shoes that gripped and help do away with knee pads. Chuck added the circle pad on the ankle areas later to help support the ankle more during stress. The circle with his name insured the canvas didn't stretch much around the ankle during extreme movements. This is a 1950s shoe circleIn 1957 he visited the Citadel Military College in Charleston South Carolina and talked to the seven Indiana recruited players. He then demonstrated his showmanship of the ball and did trick shots and plays in front of Coach Norm Sloan and players. Norm Sloan is an Indiana Basketball and National Basketball Hall of fame member. He also was a Indiana All-Star during the year 1943. Furthermore, Norm won an NCAA title during his coaching career. His last coaching job was at North Carolina State. Comment: Some players still today wear knee pads, but they are less seen compared to early basketball. Chuck Taylor also invented the stitch-less basketball used today. Chuck Taylor passed away in 1969. Bob

Bill Stearman and Chuck Taylor's Relationship/FriendshipQuote: Wikipedia "Are the credentials true? "We're always hearing that he spent 11 or 12 years playing ball professionally, but we've spent 25 years researching pro ball and we've never seen his name in a box score yet. Bill Stearman knew Chuck when he was a kid, and he's coached the Bulldogs high school basketball team for 44 years. He doesn't know if Chuck could go to his left or if he boxed out or if he played `D' like a shadow. And Stearman said that Chuck was still working at that time to perfect a basketball shoe and kids like Stearman were his unofficial guinea pigs. Stearman, that is, got his chucks from Chuck."

Columbus Has Not Paid Enough Respect To Charles "Chuck" Taylor This guy made basketball more easy and safer to play. He developed a style of shoes that is repeated today in College and the NBA; and we have failed to recognize in Columbus his great achievements. He also took the basketball that started with threads and developed the ball the way you feel in touch, and see it today. Now, what has Columbus really done to recognize such a worldwide man that made basketball easy and safer of today? Nothing.....it is shameful that we only recognize people that promoted trolley cars, bought land from settlers to form something and opened this and that. Heck, Chuck was a famous person and very few appreciate his accomplishments. I hope you all enjoy the NCAA Basketball March Madness Tourney 2007, like I do. But, one thing I think of is "Chuck" Taylor as the leader in improving the quality of basketball. Come on Columbus wake up...he was a great man that not only made the nation's basketball designed gripped shoes, tennis shoes and many other sports shoes, but promoted a safety of protecting the physical body of all. Hello, how long can Columbus Indiana ignore Charles "Chuck" Taylor? I am sorry he didn't have a soda shop or theater and not even a hotel or bus service. But, this guy did more for the nation in basketball and sports wear, than Columbus Indiana has ever recognized. Bob

The First Gym That Columbus High School and Charles "Chuck" Taylor Played Basketball In During 1916 & 1917 The second floor of this old City Hall building located today at 5th and Franklin Street is the first formal gym floor that Charles "Chuck" Taylor and team members played basketball. This was the home court for the high school until the high school built the first gym on Pearl Street in 1924. The high school coach stated how bad the floors were in all the locations the teams played. They were mostly imperfect floors and hard to keep a grip with the feet. This and many playing locations that Chuck Taylor played may have inspired him to develop and design the worldwide shoes called "Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star" tennis shoes. If only the building could talk to us, it could tell many interesting stories of its usage. Today, the building serves Columbus as a historical building and a Bed & Breakfast. Suggestion To Columbus: A historical sign should be erected on the premises to pay tribute to Charles "Chuck" Taylor's contributions to the nation in basketball.Bob

Hi Bob, and I cannot agree more with you about Mr. Taylor.
The way that Columbus recognizes him reminds me of attending Columbus High School back in 1968. I remember sitting in Mrs. Lloyd's English class during the beginnings of "March Madness," and the Bull Dogs had a shot at the dance. Judson Erne came on the loudspeaker and announced that IF our humble Bull Dogs would just happen to win State, he would declare a holiday and no one need attend classes the day after their victory.
The Bull Dogs lost out.
But when the Bull Frogs won State that year in swimming (as well as the Gymnasts), well, at least they got an "attaboy."
'nuff said!

Many more historical markers could be placed in Columbus. All you need to do is research, document, and present the required paperwork to the Indiana Historical Bureau. The markers can be about people, companies, historical buildings, etc.. How about Chuck Taylor, Clessie Cummins, Mr. Donner...........
If anyone wants to tackle it, let me know. I can point you in the right direction!

Hi Rhonda and congratulations on the sign you worked hard to get at the Orinoco Furniture Company!
Many members on this board are not living in Columbus but are well aware of the in-depth history. I feel as many, that the Bartholomew County Historical Society (BCHS) should take the lead or make the effort to seek out the necessary information and possibly submit the paperwork for historical signs.
I have mentioned within these boards two signs recently and the Bartholomew County Historical Society could "take the lead effort" to research and submit recommendations. As we know the city is a showcase of many subjects and history, but visitors don't know some of the important detail summaries that we discuss here.
So, with that said it would behoove the Bartholomew County Historical Society to analyze various locations for possible placement of historical markers. Again, congratulations to you on your sign to be placed.
Bob

Columbus Home Grown "Chuck Taylor" Book The true story of the Man behind the Most Famous Athletic Shoe in history. Book title: Chuck Taylor, Allstar written by Abraham AamidorBrief to book: "His is the name on the label of the legendary Converse All-Star basketball shoe. Though the shoe has been worn by hundreds of millions, few, if any, know a thing about the man behind the name. But “Chuck Taylor” was more than a rubber-soled, double-wall canvas-body shoe with a circular ankle patch, with a bright blue star in the middle and a signature across it. He may not have been a Michael Jordan, but Chuck Taylor did earn the right to be the face behind the most popular shoe in basketball."Comment: The book is on sale at Indiana University Press at a reduced price of $10.00. You can review and order the book at iupress.indiana.edu. Also, available in most book stores for orders. Source: Hoosier Book Club 2008, Indiana University
