Raleigh
_ Guess what I found?
Or more accurately, guess what found me. After being out of the
office for a couple of weeks, my first day back turned out to be a very good
day.
One of the guys said,
"Hey, look what I found in an old box." Then he showed
me this 1949 copy of Pic Quarterly Football magazine. I couldn't
believe it. So with a huge grin on my face, I begin to browse
through it. He then agreed to let me scan it for this
article. Thanks Rick!
In this era, Street & Smith
Publications put out a Pic Quarterly for baseball, horse racing and
football. The football issue covered these
areas/conferences: Mid West, East, Southern, Deep South, Big 7 -
Missouri Valley, Rockies, South West, and Pacific Coast. UNC was
in the Southern Conference in those days along with 15 other schools.
The writing style was
interesting to read. And I got a grin reading about Wake Forest
College, as it was named in 1949. Also Tar
Heel was written as Tarheel, as hyphenated in Art Weiner's blurp
on his picture.
OK, enough with the words
already. This is meant to be a pictorial. Links are provided
for larger pictures for the ones displayed on this page. Enjoy!
