1)What means "glow pale"?
So many times I'd watched a newcomer enter a game unknown, distrusted -- too fat to run the offence, too short to rebound, dark socks a sure sign of awkwardness--only to earn the full-throated cheers of men who'd have sneered at him in the street or office. Now, that was me, the alien who glowed pale, who spoke only a crumpled American English, who'd shown up on some scholarship nobody understood from a country no one wanted to understand. I needed the game, my game, it's powers and mine.

1. We don't "glow pale". We have a pale glow.
2. We never say "a English". This was written by a foreigner who didn't know English very well.
3. Went to college (showed up in college) on a scholarship (someone paid his tuition for him).
4. This is an insult. They are saying some student they dislike enrolled in this college on a scholarship that no one had ever heard of and came from a country that no one understands (the language of, I guess). In other words, the disliked student comes from some small, unimportant country and probably does not belong in this college.
