Stump Your Opponent! (Community Game)

While the mud is down, we can all play a game. The rules are simple. Ask a question that you think will stump someone. Anything is game as long as it is PG-13 as per forum rules.

I'll get us started with a literature question:

Disney's movie "The Black Cauldron" is based on a series of young adult novels that draw heavily from Welsh/Celtic mythology.

Name the collection of stories the young adult novels draw from as they were titled by a certain Lady of the 19th century.

Name this athlete who just recently passed away.

Four years later, in Melbourne, Australia, he won the gold medal in the Olympic decathlon, setting an Olympic record while defeating fellow American Rafer Johnson. In the interim he attended Indiana University, where he played football and competed in track, winning an NCAA title in the 120 high hurdles. In May, 1957, he tied the world record in the event, with a time of 13.4.

More sports:

Recently Darryl Hill was remembered as the first African American football player to play on an all white southern football team, first Navy, then Maryland. In 1961 Hill made the jump from the Naval Academy to Maryland to play football, recruited by none other than a young assistant with the name of Lee Corso.

After a recent article ran in the Baltimore Sun, a teammate of both Darryl Hill's and ________ wrote a letter to the paper indicating that history had been recorded incorrectly. In fact there was another African American football player who braved playing in southern stadiums in 1955.

Who was this man?
